• Opened in the early 1960s, the New Latin Quarter was arguably the finest nightclub in Tokyo and set the standard for entertainment in the East, drawing on influences from American and British/European pop, rock, R&B, jazz and blues
• The clientele consisted of the rich and famous; businessmen; spy organisations such as the CIA and KGB and even the Japanese Mob (the Yakuza)!
• The artists who performed there are now legendary icons, including Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Pat Boone, Louis Armstrong, The Platters, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams and Connie Francis to rock and pop royalty The Supremes, Ray Charles, James Brown, Cliff Richard & The Shadows, B.B.King, Donna Summer, Dolly Parton, The Drifters, Paul Anka, Dionne Warwick, Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones, Barry Manilow and many more
• The first volume in our “New Latin Quarter” series showcases some of the finest live performances ever recorded and includes artists, most of whom were in their prime and at the peak of their careers
• Featuring songs by Nat King Cole, Nancy Wilson, Keely Smith, Caterina Valente, Chubby Checker, Louis Armstrong, Patti Page, Julie London, Bobby Troup, Sammy Davis Jr, The Mills Brothers and the Harry James Orchestra
• From mellow and moody to upbeat and downright boisterous, this album brings the best of the west to the exotic east
