Three Tune Tuesday #129 (in a mood for 60-es)
Today's names are: Herb Alpert, Paul Mauriat, Günter Gollasch - oldie goldie stuff from 1960-es.
I'll start with a lyrical introduction. A while ago, YouTube gave me an interesting documentary video investigation about the retro music used in the Soviet cartoon series “Nu pagadi!”
When I watched it as a child, of course I did not pay attention to its musical component - which is incredibly marvelous! So, I wanted to share with you this composition, which maybe is a highlight of the 3rd episode - it accompanies the scene of the wolf running away from asphalt roller.
Kalinka, by Orchester Günter Gollasch
A few words about this music. Originally, the song "Kalinka" was written in 1860 by the Russian composer Ivan Petrovich Larionov, but the cartoon included the jazz version recorded by a German orchestra led by Günter Gollasch; it can be found on 1970 LP "Kalinka" among several other cover versions of the song.
What is remarkable is that this cover subconsciously reminded me of my another fave musician. When I scrolled through the comment section, I guessed it! I wasn't the first one to notice this. Herb Alpert : Bittersweet Samba + Tijuana Taxi = Kalinka. If you don't know in advance, you really might think this music is performed by American trumpeter Herb Alpert. Therefore, the second number today is ...
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass - Tijuana Taxi
I guess the video is self-explanatory, no?.. It may be not Alpert's Top #1 hit, but it was the first one I got acquainted with. I fell in love with it a few years ago, and it is still my fave. In my opinion, it have captured some 60-es essence so well! (I even noticed a few times this music was used in various TV episodes referring to that time...)
A separate and major part of the fun is the improvised dance, perhaps parodying various popular forms of dance in the past, which I cannot name. Of course, you can view it as a parody... or you can also perceive it as the pure embodiment of an easy life, the baby boomer generation... Oh, by the way - LP where this track is from spent six weeks at number one in 1966. Worth to give it a listen! I will definitely tell you about my other fave Herb Alpert songs next time.
Paul Mauriat - Colombe ivre
'Colombe ivre' means 'a drunken pigeon'. Funny name, isnt it? Paul Mauriat - an outstanding French composer who benefitted quite a lot for the world of pop music in 60-; but this certain piece is not the maestro’s calling card. I chose to present this track to you simply because it means a lot to the ear and heart of Russian audience. (It was used in soviet TV in the old days).
In my opinion this music illustrates well the idea 'Nowadays they don't do it like that anymore! Hope you enjoyed today's music selection, and travelling around the globe without leaving the Hive. 😎 My post goes for Three Tune Tuesday challenge run by @ablaze.

Great find and I for sure feel that subconcious link to Herb Alpert's tune. I feel you are right, they dont make them like they used to. I wonder if we are near the peak of the current anti-culture and will now start to move more back to a conservative society and what changes that might bring for music too. Hard to gauge these things.
My opinion, at a deep level, is - that this is hardly possible. The prerequisites (reasons for a return) could be: a) the disappearance of hybridization of everything with everything, cross-pollination of all genres; b) end of light consumption (downloaded - skipped in fast-mode - deleted from HD); and probably something else... But I’m afraid that we are (objectively) at the “end of times” - simulacra and postmodernism are all around, nowhere anything new can come from!
Forgive me if I sound not optimistic, but rather bitter ))))
A !PIZZA for you, my friend. Happy you enjoyed my selection.
I guess it is hard to see that when you are right, simulcra and postmodernism are flourishing around us. But I would think the signs the central planners have with the Great Reset involves destroying the existing system and the creation of the new?
I come from the philosophy of direct realism which is the anti-thesis of those, so it is quite funny that you mentioned them! haha
Thanks for the great tunes! Have a great weekend!
Let me put it like that: something new will grow up (automatically, itself) thru this stuff when it become weared-out and over-matured. "Destroying the existing system" on someone's intention is out of the question... money have too much power to let this go. So, my point of view: it is possible and happen naturally when the new generation(s) arise, and they will be basing on different bias, idk what it can be... less love for money?.. different priorities? honestly, we cant see from here, what it may be, what a reassessment of values and guidelines may happen in the future... ☘️ @ylich if you want to drop your 5 cents here?

Почему "pagadi" вместо "pogodi"? Или это специальный ход?))
Да, совершенно верно, специальный ход, но... без особой смысловой нагрузки. Просто, как выражался Гоблин, - "переведено с особым цинизмом" 😜 по пивку? !BEER

Talk about a talented man, Herb Alpert has produced some great music in his lifetime! Paul Mauriat is new to me, but very catchy and definitely the sixties! Some great music, thanks!

Herb Alpert deserves a special issue, in the future - with more details added, not just 1-2 clips throw in. I definitely will do that! Glad we share love to his music, Hive !PIZZA to you ☘️
