The Retro Cocktail Hour is actually TWO hours -- a weekly hi-fi highball of vintage "bachelor pad" music, exotica, private eye jazz and eccentric pop of the 1950s, '60s and '70s.
The show's spiced with everything from obscure Italian B-movie soundtracks and bossa nova to contemporary bands like Don Tiki, Big Kahuna and the Copa Cat Pack, the Tokyo Panorama Mambo Boys, the Italian Secret Service, Balanco and others.
Featured artists: Les Baxter, Martin Denny, Perez Prado, Raymond Scott, Juan Esquivel, Arthur Lyman, Tito Puente, Pete Rugolo, Dead Ringer, Nelson Riddle, Dick Schory's New Percussion Ensemble, Dean Elliott, The Blue Hawaiians, etc.
Availability: 2-hour shows, with one :30 optional cutaway per hour
