Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook

Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook (1952) more music like this

by Various Artists

With their vast back catalog of classic vocal sides, the Verve label has been releasing a seemingly endless line of songbook collections featuring a who's who of jazz greats. Irving Berlin, Gershwin, Ellington, and Rodgers & Hart have all been feted. Now it's Cole Porter's turn. Over the course of the 17 chestnuts heard here, the likes of Fred ...

Verve Remixed

Verve Remixed (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

More than ten years on from the first whisperings of a dance revolution, there are scores of solid producers in the scene, figures with all the talent, historical knowledge, and judgment necessary to rework most any tracks from the Verve archive. Surprisingly, Verve Remixed strays from the label's crossover-heavy '60s and '70s material (the ...

Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook (1962) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

The first of several tribute albums issued just after Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, this one generally sticks to his most famous songs as interpreted by several Brazilian and American artists from PolyGram's archives. Jobim himself appears on such obvious choices as the best-selling Stan Getz, Joćo Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto hit "The Girl from ...

Gershwin Live! (1982) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra

Sassy and conductor Michael Tilson Thomas had been cooking up Gershwin evenings for eight years prior to this live performance with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, so singer and conductor had this act together for a long time. Judging from Leslie Gourse's biography Sassy, Tilson Thomas apparently worshiped Vaughan ...

Swingin' Easy

Swingin' Easy (1954) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan and Her Trio

This Trip recording of Swingin' Easy has two of Sarah Vaughan's better jazz dates from her years on Mercury and EmArcy. Accompanied by just a trio (with Jimmy Jones or John Malachi on piano) rather than her usual string orchestra, Sassy really swings hard on some of these numbers. Highlights include "Shulie a Bop," "I Cried for You," "Prelude to a ...

Crazy and Mixed Up

Crazy and Mixed Up (1982) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan

Sarah Vaughan had complete control over the production of this album, Crazy and Mixed Up (which would be her last small-group recording) and, even if the results are not all that unique, her voice is often in near-miraculous form. With fine backup work from pianist Roland Hanna, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Harold Jones, ...

The Ultimate Sarah Vaughan (1997) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan

Dee Dee Bridgewater compiled The Ultimate Sarah Vaughan, a 16-track selection of her best-known songs that offers an excellent introduction to her Verve recordings.

Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown (1954) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan and Clifford Brown

This 1954 studio date, a self-titled album recorded for Emarcy, was later reissued as Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown to denote the involvement of one of the top trumpeters of the day. Vaughan sings nine intimate standards with a band including Brown on trumpet, Herbie Mann on flute, and Paul Quinichette on tenor, each of which have plenty of ...

Verve Jazz Masters 18 (1994) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan

Vol. 18 of the Verve Jazz Masters series features Sarah Vaughan for the most part singing bop and swinging pretty hard. Though not known at all as a Verve artist (only At Mister Kelly's), these tracks were mined from her dates in the '50s and '60s for Mercury/EmArcy and Roulette. Of the 16 selections, there's a good mix of small-group sessions ...

Heart Beats: Sirens of Song - Classic Torch (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Rhino's Sirens of Song: Classic Torch Singers is an excellent collection of late-night, lovelorn vocals by some of the best singers of the century -- and yes, all of them are female, since a strict definition of torch singing (not to mention sirens) excludes males. The collection leads off with "Cry Me a River" by Julie London, the prototypical ...

Roulette, the same label that brought the world Jimmie F. Rodgers' "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" and Joey Dee's "Peppermint Twist," also recorded some wonderful vocal sessions on Joe Williams, Dinah Washington, and Sarah Vaughan. While most of these were dates for ballads and lush strings, they also allowed their artists latitude for a variety of ...

The Irving Berlin Songbook (1957) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan & Billy Eckstine

Sarah Vaughan's heavenly vocalizing and Billy Eckstine's velvety deep tone proved an ideal match during the late '40s and throughout the '50s. This 1957 Irving Berlin collection qualifies as the high point of that collaboration. Sometimes surpassing their splendid solo sides, Vaughan and Eckstine obviously revel in each other's company here, ...
