Tease!: The Beat Of Burlesque

The popularuty of burlesque, striptease, and pinup girls has gained a serious momentum in the past decade and doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. Several years ago I was hired to compile a CD of classic music from the golden era of bump & grind for the Verve record label, much of it hard to find and out of print.

"Hard-honking horns; slinky rhythms; heart-throbbing beats. . . . This soundtrack to the new burlesque is the sound of vintage rhythm & blues, bump-and-grind exotica, and hipster jazz working its magic to uncover hidden desires and soft, sultry curves."
Now available as MP3 downloads!
