Here is an interesting article from a May 4, 2023 review in Jazzwax. https://www.jazzwax.com/

Just came across this and thought it would be of great interest to Julius fans who were previously searching for the LINEAR SKETCHES album. https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/julius-wechter-albums/56326-quartet-quintet-1956-1957-jazzwest-and-intro-sessions.html

The very first Baja Marimba Band from 1964 is now available on Apple iTunes for $ 7.99 !!

Stumbled upon this gem. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1692039/m1/#track/1

Vote for your favourite version and tell us a bit about why you made your selection. (The selections are listed in release order.) (Note: this is the eighth and final shootout. At this time, I know of no additional songs that were recorded by both bands during their '60s--early'70s period.)

JULIUS WECHTER VISITS A&M CORNER (1998) Posted By: Julius Wechter Date: Thursday, 3 September 1998, at 3:59 a.m. Dear Friends, I was overwhelmed by the reaction to my note, and you’re right, there was an onslaught of correspondence. I am totally amazed by the loyalty and knowledge you all have...

Well, sure - most of us here are aware of the GREATEST HITS LP series on A&M getting the HAECO-CSG processing on all but Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass' entry. But I just found more that I wasn't aware of. Looking through my LPs, I was somewhat surprised to see this on two Baja Marimba Band...

Just looking through some Tijuana Brass stuff online I easily found twelve Julius Wechter compositions done by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass over the years. Seems to me that would make a good compilation. In no particular order. Spanish Flea Panama Robbers & Cops Coney Island Warm Flea Bag...

Quite an unexpected bonus in the movie. The Herb Alpert thread mentions it's not the Herb Alpert version, etc., but imo, the song is the thing. Julius would be proud! The movie version is on YouTube..

I like this song for the Christmas season.

This album was one of the remaining missing pieces in my Baja collection. I'd owned NATURALLY for years, and picked up the more recent LAZY DAYS issue on CD, so that left this Bell album as the hole in my collection. I located a really nice white-label promo copy and it made a dandy needledrop...

Wanted to find out about any mono versions of Baja songs that are different from the stereo ones. The only one I know of is Juarez, which has some added chatter in the mono mix.

Hey buds. I had no idea an A&M forum existed but I'm glad I found it. According to imdb (Baja Marimba Band (TV Movie 1969) - IMDb ) there was a Baja Marimba Band TV Movie, but I cant find any more information on it anywhere. This is something I'm interested in as a fan of the Baja Marimba...

Wondering if anyone has a good scan of Baja's "Heads Up" LP cover. I'm updating my cd cover art and I can't seem to locate the LP to do my own scan. I scoured the internet, including Discogs, but all the artwork I found for this LP pretty much sucks. And I really don't want to buy another copy...

I saw this thread in the "Circle of Friend" forum. It says that Karen Philipp did vocals on a rare version of "Warm". Is this true? Has anyone heard it??? Here is the original thread that is locked. I posted this in the Sergio Mendes forum for those who only follow Sergio's music. The music...

The DECADES channel will air an ED SULLIVAN appearance by the Baja Marimba Band on Friday, November 3rd at 5P-5:30P and repeat it at 11P-11:30P. DECADES is an over-the-air digital subchannel and is a joint venture between Weigel Broadcasting and CBS. It's available on antennas in many markets...

First, it happened when I stumbled onto a giant image of the HEADS UP album on the web, which I cropped down to a 16:9 size for my monitor shape. I found that from about the top of the EXIT sign down to the bottom. Funny, but that image is usually kind of dark on the album covers that I never...

The first 7 seconds of this Baja Marimba cut sounds remarkably like a Bob Dylan song. Can you name it?

There was an older item on this site about this clip, but the link no longer works, so hope nobody objects to my reposting this with a working link, 'cuz it's too good to let it disappear. Here's a great clip from one of Jack Benny's late-60's color specials, featuring Mel Blanc and his...

On this day in 1999, we lost the great Julius Wechter. Here are some memories: http://variety.com/1999/scene/people-news/julius-wechter-1117882822/ From the Julius Wechter Quintet - "Undecided" a track from a test pressing that was never released...
