In the summer of 1969, in Bradford, PA., I heard a commercial on the radio with music that sounded unmistakably like Baja Marimba Band. The melody resembled Dave Clark Five's "Because" but the tempo and style matched the trombone opening to BMB's "Yes Sir, That's My Baby." No marimbas, but the...
Anyone who missed out on this 3CD Julius Wechter & Baja Marimba Band set might be interested in the sale at Collectors' Choice Music:

Anyone a fan of these crazy guys? I've been slowly finding their LPs and I'm a little upset to realize that their appearance on CD is virtually non-existent.
Does anyone know if Shout Factory will pick them up next? I hope so!
Since I'm putting this under the Tijuana Brass thread, the results may be skewed. I'm curious as to who else has an appreciation for the Baja Marimba crew. I was introduced to the Brass many years ago, and have always been a fan. I was only introduced to the BMB 3 or 4 years ago.

I went to the Record Collector in Ferndale, Michigan (near Detroit) & picked up the Baja Marimba Band "As Time Goes By" which cost $ 1.99. Two weeks later, I also took a trip down to Saugatuck & Douglas, Michigan (10 miles from Holland) & picked up Baja Marimba Band "Back!" (Bell) at the Blue...

I purchased the Best of the BMB CD (A&M POCM-1575 [Japan] 1998) a couple years ago and was completely under-whelmed. It was good music, but it didn’t reach out to me and say, “Hey, listen!”. Well, during the course of procuring all Herb Alpert’s stuff on vinyl to transfer to CD, I picked-up a...
Hey y'all,
I was wondering, does anyone have a front or back scan of The Baja Marimba Band's "Fresh Air" album? I'm putting the finishing touches on on a vinyl-cd conversion, and I'd like to make a jewel case for it.
Please contact me at: [email protected]
Any help is appreciated!

Although the Julius Wechter tribute in New York was cancelled, the BMB is fresh on our minds. What would be their best albums, singles, and so on?
Like to get true fans responses! :D
Many years ago I thought I heard the song Sleigh Ride on the radio by the Baja Marimba Band. Was I mistaken? Did they do a Christmas album?
Many Thanks,
Jal

Egad, I just realized I have the entire Chet Baker & the Mariachi Brass LP collection. However, that’s not the subject.
I wanted to reminisce about a live Baja concert I saw…I think it was the summer of ’67…at the Chicago Opera House. Julius and the boys were an opening act for warbler...

Hi Everyone,
I just got a catalog from Heartland yesterday and it includes an EDI 3 disc set of 36 tunes by the Baja Marimba Band. It's $29.95.
It just might eventually be available at Costco for about 10 bucks less. :o

I just got the Rondor release of the BMB called I'll Marimba You - A Portrait In Music. At first glance I thought "Cool! They even have "Brasilia" on CD at last!". But when I put it on, I've found that most of these tunes are from vinyl! You can hear some light scratches and clicks throughout...
