Ernie Kovacs Nairobi Trio (original music)

Growing up in the age of the anti-hero like so many of my peers it is hard to imagine someone who broke through the malaise to inspire me as much as ernie kovacks. Cerebral humor that borrowed from the surrealists combined with the excitment of playing with technology that was being defined. Some stuff worked, some stuff did not, but all of it was pure Kovacks. Most of it has been sampled by so many artists it seems stale but before Monty Python this was as odd as TV could get my friends and really these kinescopes are still pretty odd in a charming sort of way.
