Back in
March we featured Part 1 of our friend
Takashi Okada's video showcasing
THE RAYMOND SCOTT SONGBOOK, a 2-cd set which he produced in cooperation with the Scott estate. We promised Part 2 the following week. We subsequently misplaced our calendar, which only now turned up buried under a dog-eared stack of
Scientific American magazines from the 1960s. (We have to get this office organized!)
We now offer
Part 2 of Takashi's video, which you'll find was worth waiting for.
Includes cameo appearances by
Jean-Jacques Perrey, the Mechanical Orchestra of França Xica,
Hirofumi Tokutake,
Dorothy Collins,
Ego Plum,
Beth Sorrentino,
Optiganally Yours,
Benoît Charest,
Haruomi Hosono, and others.
