Hot sounds from 1959: Cindy Electronium by Raymond Scott,
His pioneering of electronic music was a second career for Scott who was born Harry Warnow in Brooklyn , NY in 1908. Previously he was a composer and bandleader of jazz, under the auspices of his 7 piece band, the Raymond Scott Quintette (he preferred the sound of it to Septette). In 1943, he sold his musical catalog to Warner Brothers. The studio's house composer Carl Stalling immortalized it thanks to frequent quotes of such Scott tunes as Powerhouse in Warner Bros. Cartoons:
Here's a seasonal tune with the Quintette, Ectoplasm, recorded in 1948 and rereleased on a Populuxe hi-fi anthology a decade later:
