Four Corners Of The World (1959)

"Esquivel performs his versions of classic songs from around the world. Though this is not the space age orchestral pop that Juan Garcia Esquivel is known for, it is the man's music in it's purest form. Scaled down, Esquivel's radical sense of musical arrangement is rendered all the more amazing. Juan Garcia performs on piano throughout the album, and gets appropriately wacky at times. He is joined by a very skilled and sympathetic combo including, variously, guitar, bass, maraccas, congas, drum-kit, and other choice noise-makers". (Matt Duss).
