Raymond Scott, The Jingle Workshop: Midcentury Musical Miniatures 1951-1965
Quantity: 800
It's hard to imagine commercial jingles as works of art. However, that is the feeling one gets when listening to the ways in which Raymond Scott approached these assignments. Scott was not only a respected pianist, composer and bandleader but also a pioneer and inventor of several electronic instruments. The Jingle Workshop is the first collection of Scott's fascinating and groundbreaking jingles from 1951, which in many cases are also some of the earliest examples of recorded electronic music.
