Barbra Streisand
The idea of Barbra Streisand making an album of movie songs is a no-brainer; as annotators Jay Landers and Richard Jay-Alexander point out, she has already recorded over 50 songs written for motion pictures on her 59 previous albums. In fact, the only real challenge may be a marketing one for Columbia Records, since potential customers simply may ...

Shirley Horn
When vocalist/pianist Shirley Horn resurfaced after a long spell away from the recording studio and signed with Verve Records in 1987, the jazz world at large discovered what many of Horn's devoted followers already knew: that she is a huge talent and one of the great jazz singers to follow in the footsteps of legends like Sarah Vaughan and Billie ...

by
Stan Getz
While this set of ballads could easily pass for a contemporary smooth jazz collection, tenor saxophonist Stan Getz's impeccable phrasing, full of easy, fluid upward glides, always with that gorgeous, honey-tinged, airy, and endlessly romantic horn tone, makes it something else again. With selections ranging from the early '50s through his twilight ...

The Complete Village Vanguard Sessions is an exhaustive box set that contains all 45 takes from Art Pepper's legendary stay at the Village Vanguard.

Stan Getz
Award Winner reunites Stan Getz with his mid-'50s right-hand men pianist Lou Levy and bassist Leroy Vinnegar, plus drummer Stan Levey, who sat in with the trio on 1956's The Steamer. Not surprisingly, it's quite similar to that effort, as the quartet keeps thing alternately cool, swinging ballads, and simmering, low-key grooves. It's the sound ...

by
Blue Mitchell
In the '60s, Prestige launched its Plays for Lovers series with LPs by Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and others. The concept was jazz as romantic mood music -- collections of previously released material that are dominated by ballads and emphasize a player's more lyrical side. Fantasy has long since acquired the Prestige catalog, and in the 2000s, ...

Dick Haymes
This Audiophile CD combines two Dick Haymes sessions made under the direction of Loonis McGlohon. The first was done in October 1976 and the second in May 1978 when Haymes was almost 60. (The latter turned out to be his final visit to a recording studio before his death in 1980.) And unlikely as it seems, his voice was at its strongest on the ...

Stan Getz
The owner of one of the most intimately romantic tenor sax sounds in jazz was a natural candidate for Verve's Late-Night series, and so this 14-track collection treats would-be-Lotharios to several candlelit samples from Verve's archives, the orchestras (and two cooing choirs) led by Claus Ogermam. Artists including Johnny Pate and Russ Garcia ...

Carolyn Maier
Carolyn Maier took a different road to reach a vocal career. She was trained as a classical jazz harpist and has a degree in harp performance. Singing, however, was not all that mysterious, as she started that at the tender age of four. Sessions is her second album and her first for Lee Lessack's LML label. Perhaps it's the harp training that ...
