Manhattan Minuet.......2006-08-07

I liked the other CD's that were done by the Beau Hunks, so I bought "Manhattan Minuet". The tunes written by Raymond Scott are catchy and happy to listen to.

a must have for the Raymond Scott completist.......2003-08-13

Thanks to the Beau Hunks, they have brought us more Raymond Scott tunes that have not yet been released on CD. As a result, I recommend this CD with no reservations and thank them for the continued excellence in their work. Execution is very nice and the recording comes across with a very personal touch. Well done!

MANHATTAN MINUET FIRST RATE RAYMOND SCOTT!.......2002-07-13

These wonderful literal reproductions of Raymond Scott's unique music are played to perfection by the Dutch musicians, THE BEAU HUNKS. Raymond Scott himself would have been honored by this faithful rendering of 14 of his compositions, several of which are receiving their first recording ever. The written introduction by Elvis Costello offers much insight into how a modern musician sees Scott's work. This CD is a keeper and belongs in the collection of any serious music lover.

Raymond Scott is a genius..........1999-09-27

Correction on the last reviewer; this recording was made using ANALOG equipment! Not to mention old-school microphones; that's how they achieved that nice "warm" sound. (check out the liner notes to this cd, as well as "celebration on the planet mars") Scott's original recordings were made prior to the widespread use of magnetic tape, which is the true key to high fidelity. That having been said, the Beau Hunks recordings are essential listening, especially for any Raymond Scott fan, however they must be seen as a supplement to the original RSQ recordings; after listening to those, you you will truly appreciate what these Dutch boys have done!
