Juan García Esquivel, the flamboyant Mexican arranger, composer, and sonic adventurer, brought stereo recording to life with Infinity in Sound. Released in 1960, this release is more than just a collection of pop standards - it’s a kaleidoscopic journey through the possibilities of sound in an era when high-fidelity was still a novelty.
Infinity in Sound is a joyous, borderline-manic celebration of musical possibility. It’s retro-futuristic, playfully sophisticated, and never takes itself too seriously - and that’s precisely what makes it a classic. Whether you’re a fan of exotica, big band, or just looking for something delightfully unexpected, Esquivel’s masterpiece is an absolute must-listen.
