The sublime Caribbean Moonlight is as evocatively and perfectly titled as any Les Baxter LP -- its melodies move with the hypnotic beauty and sway of moonbeams flickering across the water's surface, while its supple, exotic rhythms conjure a nearly mystical paradise of palm trees, sandy beaches, and cool breezes.
