Many readers will be familiar with Creed Taylor and his impressive jazz resume. Panic: The Son Of Shock definitely has jazzy elements to it, but it certainly falls more into the novelty and exotica/space-age genre of records released in the late 1950's and 1960's. That is fine by me, I collect the LPs of Les Baxter, Martin Denny and Esquivel, although this record doesn't come close to reaching the heights of the best work by those artists.
