The new Waitiki 7 Album “Adventures in Paradise” is now out, meaning everyone needs to go to Waitiki7.com and order a CD. Also, the east coast tour is soon approaching, meaning if you live in or close to NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, or Lake George you should check it out.
More reviews have been surfacing for the Album, including being named one of Alarm Magazine’s “Week’s Best Albums”:
“Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood, the Waitiki 7 balances a thematic tribute to Martin Denny and musical stars of yore with piano-driven Latin sounds, modern jazz, lounge, and film motifs. Adventures in Paradise, as the name suggests, could double as the soundtrack for a cheery private-dick mystery flick, calling upon exotic vocal calls, flute, horns, and vibraphone to create just the right mood.”
