Cook Laboratories takes you on a tour of the world of hi-fi sound, by taking you on a tour of the world. Stop by Boston's Symphony Hall to hear a preview of Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet Suite, then to Seville to relish the flamenco singers, to Port of Spain, Trinidad for some calypso and to Martinique for beguine, all before heading off to Detroit's Fox Theater to hear Reginald Foort play the great organ. And there's still time to catch New Orleans for some blues by Lizzie Miles & Red Camp and Dixieland jazz by the Tony Almerico gang. This recording is for anyone who enjoys a cruise.
