Billboard Pop Memories: 1945-1949

Billboard Pop Memories: 1945-1949 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

As the 1940s wore on, the end of the big band/swing era resulted in changes on the pop music horizon. This fourth disc in Rhino's latest pre-rock series, Billboard Pop Memories: 1945-1949 shows how sophisticated, jazzy fare declined, and forgettable, novelty numbers reigned. Peggy Lee's "Maņana," with its phony Afro-Latin vocal and exaggerated ...

Plays the Great Piano Hits (1965) more music like this

by Frankie Carle

Cashing in on his keyboard rather than band-leading talents, Frankie Carle paid tribute to many subjects during an RCA-Victor contract that apparently set no maximum limit on the number of seperate titles released: classical masters, the sunrise, roses, honky-tonk, cocktails, a sea cruise, then one around the world, dancing favorites, Broadway ...

More 1944-1949 (1998) more music like this

by Frankie Carle

Frankie Carle, a fine pianist influenced by Teddy Wilson, led a regularly working big band during the 1940s and '50s. This set of Lang-Worth radio transcriptions gives one a good idea what the Carle ensemble sounded like (even if the personnel listing is not given).

This is as good as most sweet bands ever got in the big-band era, a set of 20 tracks taken from radio transcriptions that show off a swinging pop sound, drawing on the key elements of jazz but never pushing the envelope too far. This was a good band, with a sound that was hot but with room for Carle's piano flourishes, and Phyllis Lynne's vocals ...

This ten-song budget-priced collection is a bit frustrating, consisting as it does of Carle's more romantic ballads, emphasizing the sweetest aspects of Carle's pop sound. The song lineup, in addition to the title track, includes the romantic pop ballad "We Could Make Such Beautiful Music Together," featuring Marjorie Hughes and Gregg; the piano ...
