5 out of 5 stars SPACE AGE BACHELOR PAD!.......2007-01-12

if you can imagine that, you can hear it in this music. everything which is exactly inverse musically of the 90's and 00's goth and emo kids is vociferated with Juan Garcia Esquivel. Yes, it is OK to be happy. Yes it is ok to have jazz guitar and flute, and what i even think is a harpsichord on one of the tracks!
Not gonna get into technical stuff. Just listen and enjoy.
WOW.
Now where did i put that jet pack?

3 out of 5 stars Overall Too Campy But Some Worthwile Lounge .......2005-06-09

Esquivel was a lounge pianist during the heyday of lounge (late 50s through 60s) whose songs are really over-the-top everything-but-the-kitchen-sink extravaganzas, entertaining but often too campy for my tastes. Most of the songs have a Latin flavor. I think about half the songs are worthwile for anyone who likes the retro lounge pop, including "El Cable", "Malaguena", "Estrellita", "Limehouse Blues", "April In Portugal", "Take the A Train", "It Had To Be You", "Yeyo", and "Flower Girl From Bordeaux".

4 out of 5 stars a nice place to get to know Esquivel.......2002-01-18

RCA gives you a sampling of all of Juan's domestic recordings here and the sound is on par with the import Esquivel CD releases. But be warned, once you hear Juan you are going to want to buy the entire collection!

5 out of 5 stars Gotta have it..........1999-09-26

My partner and I love to have a late afternoon cocktail, put in our Esquivel, and sit back and enjoy. That's REALLY what this album is ALL about.. Cheers, dears!

3 out of 5 stars 50's film retro.......1999-05-10

Listening to this album takes me back to the 50's. It's like being in a time warp! I like the way it was able to capture the sounds of things familiar, when things were simpler and music was full of everyday emotions.
