RSQ: Reckless Nights & Turkish Twilights
The first CD collection of Raymond Scott’s legendary 1937-39 six-man “Quintette” was issued on Columbia in 1992. Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights introduced a new generation to the melodies they’d heard in Warner Bros. cartoons while growing up—particularly “Powerhouse.” A number of these recordings were then licensed for use in The Ren & Stimpy Show. The (excerpted) tracks below are owned by the Scott heirs (dba Reckless Night Music LLC), and are available for licensing. Buy the full album or single tracks at: iTunes. Amazon.
