Talkin’ Verve
This year, Aurgasm feature writer Andrew and Paul Irish bring you a collection of songs to serve as a backdrop to your summer of ’06. The Aurgasm Summer Soundtrack will be released in bits and bytes, post by post until a CD-full of hot summer tracks is out there and complete for ya’ll to load up your iPod or CD player and jam out. Enjoy, ladies and gents.

Yeah, it’s Dizzy Gillespie, and yeah, it’s not exactly original to associate the waggling piano and ballsy horns of his mamboish jazz with summer”” but if this doesn’t make you want to pop on some shades and go to a barbecue, you are broken. And when the party’s winding down, grass swaying warm, greeny-gray in the melting sky, switch to Willie Bobo and float a frisbee over to the host (he’s tired of cooking hot dogs). Talkin’ Verve is a limited run compilation, but worth snapping up if you’re low on Verve catalogue items.Classic tunes to kick off summer.
Dizzy Gillespie – Bang Bang (track 4 on the Aurgasm Summer Soundtrack)
