Lalo Schifrin's "Gone with the Wave" soundtrack - this is early 60s West Coast jazz. In some ways the most interesting tune is the 5/4 tune, this being a fashionable gimmick at the time. Only thing is Paul Desmond's "Take Five" actually had a nice swing to it. I remember playing "Take Five" with a jazz combo of high school kids at a city park in Big Rapids, Michigan in the late 70s, and the locals enjoyed it. You could see their heads bobbing away and they didn't quite know what was different about it but they liked it. The 5/4 tune on this album is pretty lame. The rest is OK though.

This LP rip is from Scorebaby Annex. I got asked to repost it.
