Space-Age

Space-Age is a style of music that originated in the 1950s and 1960s, which combines elements of jazz, funk, and lounge music. It typically features synthesizers, electric keyboards, and futuristic sound effects. It was popularized by the likes of Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and Juan Garcia Esquivel, who experimented with combining traditional instrumentation with exotic sounds and rhythms. The genre is often associated with the "Space Age" of the 1950s and 1960s, a period of technological and scientific optimism. Space-Age music was used to create the soundtracks for numerous science-fiction films of the era, and it has continued to influence popular music up to the present day.
