Music imagined to be suitable for a cocktail lounge of the 1950s or 60s, from swinging hipsters like Sammy Davis, Jr., to the campy percussion of Enoch Light or the "exotica" of Les Baxter, the sort of thing one would expect in a bachelor pad owned by a playboy swinger. Oblivious to the rise of rock and disco, Lounge joyously celebrates the days of sharkskin suits and very dry martinis that are shaken, not stirred.
