Music for a Bachelorette's Pad / Various

The Leopard Lounge presents these swinging lounge tunes from the Atlantic and Warner Vaults. Today's modern bachelorette is a swinging sister with pristine balance. She can fix her own Martini and can divine by intuition the hippest hangout in every town. How does she find time to relax? These inspiring sounds give you some kind of clue. With this CD the Bachelorette's Pad becomes a multitude of locations, all familiar to the sophisticated listener's ear. There's South Sea island fantasy; Las Vegas showtime; beatnik cellar clubs where sunglasses after dark are essentials; hot Mexican sundowns and Manhattan roof top hideaways. Being that this is the domain of the bachelorette, we meet every kinda tom cat along the way: the big fine señor, the engaging raconteur, the wistful would-be lover, and, whaddaya know, the ever-circling shark. But these ladies have a way of dealing with each one, in her own indomitable style. Why not spend an evening inside the Bachelorette's Pad? Listen to classics sung by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, LaVern Baker, Carmen McRae and Lea DeLaria, while the cocktails are chilled, the music's hot, there's good company to be made and lessons to be shared.
