Wax of the Week #106...Bill Marx and the Jazz Octet: Jazz Kaleidoscope (1962)

Born in 1937, the adopted son of Harpo Marx here makes a fine jazz record, with help from Paul Horn on sax and Dick Nash on trombone. I don’t know enough about jazz to tell you what specific kind it is; maybe someone can chime in. I just like it. Marx composed several film scores for director Bob Kelljan (including both Count Yorga films), plus stuff like DEATHMASTER and TERROR AT RED WOLF INN. He’s lived in the Palm Springs area since 1992, and still performed at a local restaurant with a trio in recent years.
