New Music This Week: December 1, 2014
New Library Alert: Lesterbeat Records
Sometimes up pops a library that’s just plain fun! 5 Alarm’s Lesterbeat Records focuses on quirky and retro tracks as well as big band instrumentals. They specialize in “inventive” arrangements of public domain material, i.e. classical music. We introduced Lesterbeats’ Christmas music and R&B last week – be sure to take a listen to the rest of the unique albums we’re putting up over the next few days. A true one-of-a-kind boutique collection; check out Lesterbeats here.
