Description

Moods is one of the classic Trinidad‑issued albums by pianist Dennis de Souza, a Guyanese‑born, Trinidad‑based musician known throughout the Caribbean for his elegant cocktail‑piano interpretations of pop standards, film themes, and romantic melodies. His albums were staples in hotels, lounges, and Caribbean households throughout the 1970s and 1980s, often released on small regional labels such as WIRL, Kalinda, or local independent imprints.

The Trinidad pressing of Moods typically features solo piano with light rhythm‑section accompaniment, arranged in de Souza’s signature smooth, melodic style. These regional issues were pressed in small quantities, often with unique cover art, label colours, and track sequences that differ from Canadian or U.K. releases.

This LP stands as a strong example of Caribbean lounge‑piano culture — understated, melodic, and rooted in the islands’ hotel‑entertainment tradition.
