Need more jazz like this sample
I purchased a vinyl record purely for the 30 second intro to this first song... I would like to hear more jazz in this style (the instrumental bits, not the vocal part that comes in) There's probably a name for this genre of jazz, but I don't know it. All I know is, I want to hear more of it (love the flute bit especially)
here's the sample
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try some Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Response by poster: the record is Edmund Hockridge "In Romantic Mood" -- it's just a 50s-style crooner record -- that sample is the best thing about the whole album.
been browsing and the Jungle Book soundtrack is pretty close to what I'm looking for.
What's some good 'exotica' jazz records, then?
I've listened to Antonio Carlos Jobim, it's not quite the same though.

I think you would dig the hell out of Sun Ra's Angels & Demons at Play / The Nubians of Plutonia. It's got a similar big band, but a little out there feel that that thirty seconds has.

No thrift store or flea market would be complete without a box of records similar to the sample you provided - it's not in very high demand. Look for stuff with goofy covers or names like this.

Hmmm, kinda reminds me of Pharoah Sanders' "The Creator Has a Master Plan."

"Caravan" by Juan Tizol. It's a standard; you'll find lots of versions.

The words that you're talking about peg it as a version of "That Old Black Magic." It isn't Louis Prima, but I don't know who it is. Music that sounds like it? Anything loungey. Try some other Louis Prima. Or -- that sound isn't so much Jobim as it is Esquivel. (Any used record store worth its salt will have a few Esquivel LPs lying around waiting to be rediscovered.) It's not really jazz, per se, so going through the jazz section of the record store isn't really going to get you what you are after. Ask for a "lounge" section.

some of the bigger exotica names to check out:
Martin Denny
Arthur Lyman
Esquival
Also, I too recommend invitapriore's suggestion. They aren't strictly exotica, but they are ARKESTRA-licious! and way, way, WAY OUT man.

Enoch Light's Provocative Percussion (vols 1, 2, 3 and 4) and Persuasive Percussion series on the Command label ought to get you started. A lot of other artists on that command label, including Tony Mottola, were produced by Enoch Light, too, and are fertile ground for your explorations...

That's what I came here to say. "Lounge" will get you the vocal style, but the flute intro is pretty unique and you might not be able to successfully pin it down in terms of genre. It could be as far out as "avant-garde", which will lead you straight down the rabbit hole of strange noises...

You might like Incredibly Strange Music volumes I and II. Unless you didn't want any vocals at all (I don't know how many instrumentals there are, if any).

You'll probably like Max Roach's M'boom album. Also, I strongly second the Sun Ra rec for Angels/Nubians.
