Anything Goes [1987 Broadway Revival Cast]

Anything Goes [1987 Broadway Revival Cast] (1988)

by 1987 Broadway Revival Cast

Cole Porter's 1934 Broadway musical Anything Goes was one of his more celebrated efforts, throwing off such standards as "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "You're the Top" in addition to the title tune, and it was adapted for film twice, in 1936 and 1956. Strangely, it did not attract a notable stage revival until 1962, when a version ran Off-Broadway ...

Reflections From Broadway

Reflections From Broadway (2000) more music like this

by John Barrowman

John Barrowman's third album Reflections From Broadway showcases the stage and TV performer's commanding voice in another collection of show tunes and contemporary pop, including "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," "Anyone Can Whistle," "Easy to Love," "The Boy From Nowhere," and "Not While I'm Around." A pleasant addition to a Broadway or pop vocal ...

Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday

Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday (2001) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

Forget for a moment that The Best of Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday was tied into the release of the superb box set, Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia, thereby offering a bit of advertisement to the full-fledged set. That doesn't matter -- even if there was never a box set, this would have been a welcome addition to Billie ...

Easy to Love (2006) more music like this

by Roberta Gambarini

Roberta Gambarini was a virtual unknown outside of Europe before coming to the United States and dazzling both seasoned jazz musicians and critics alike. Under the wing of Benny Carter for several years prior to his death in 2003, the Italian singer with an expressive, clear, and consistently swinging vocal style has seen her reputation spread ...

Greatest Love Songs

Greatest Love Songs (2002) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Released in January 2002 as part of the great rush of Valentine-themed releases, Greatest Love Songs outclasses most of the romantic-themed compilations in its genre -- which is only appropriate for the great Frank Sinatra. It outclasses the competition not just because it contains a generous 22 tracks, but because it cross-licenses, containing ...

Dream Dancing: Songs of Cole Porter

Dream Dancing: Songs of Cole Porter (2001) more music like this

by Beegie Adair

This straight-ahead Cole Porter tribute was one of the first three releases from Hillsboro, a Nashville-based label that got off the ground in early 2001. (The other two were Antoine Silverman's Blue Moods and Jack Jezzro's Jazz Elegance.) Pianist Beegie Adair certainly knows her way around these songs, and she's aided expertly by bassist Roger ...

Collection (1986) more music like this

by Diane Schuur

Released in 1989, Collection sums up Diane Schuur's first five GRP albums, a period when she achieved a level of acclaim that tailed off somewhat in the '90s. What has been gathered together here is often very impressive, her rich, full voice keening over carefully wrought, beautifully recorded lush backdrops (with real or electronic strings), ...

It's De Lovely: The Authentic Cole Porter Collection (2004) more music like this

by Cole Porter

Whenever great American song in general, or a classic songwriter specifically, goes through another phase of popularity, record labels invariably cast around to assemble yet another round of songbook compilations with artists from their catalog interpreting the standards. In 2004, on the occasion of the Cole Porter biopic De-Lovely (starring Kevin ...

Ring-a-Ding Ding!

Ring-a-Ding Ding! (1960) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Ring-a-Ding Ding!, Frank Sinatra's first album for his own record label, broke somewhat from the strict concepts of his Capitol Records; in the process, it set a kind of template for the rest of his '60s Reprise albums. Instead of following a theme, the record captures the atmosphere of Sinatra in 1961 -- a time when he was running the Rat Pack, ...

Come by Me

Come by Me (1999) more music like this

by Harry Connick, Jr.

By 1999, Harry Connick, Jr. found himself in a curious place. Undoubtedly, he was one of the artists that kick-started the whole neo-swing movement that peaked in the late '90s. However, he was always too serious and traditional -- too much of a musician, really -- to fit in with the likes of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Furthermore, he was too ...

Cole Porter: A Centennial Celebration (1932) more music like this

by Cole Porter

This master of the urban lyric and chic tune is himself heard here singing demos of three of his standards. Includes 20 performances from the '30s to '80s, featuring Fred Astaire, Artie Shaw, Lena Horne, and others. This is the cornerstone of 20th-century music. Mark A. Humphrey, All Music Guide

The Very Best of Cole Porter [Hip-O] (2004) more music like this

by Cole Porter

Contrasts, whether ironic or not, were continually at the heart of Cole Porter's timeless songs, as befits a man who greeted the world as the very definition of a sophisticated New Yorker, but was actually born in Peru, IN. Porter's careful studies of people in love are filled with obsessive characters who express hope but are frightfully ...

Grand jazz master pianist and octogenarian Hank Jones is accompanied here by bassist George Mraz and drummer Dennis Mackrel. The program is a collection of jazz and pop standards that Jones has undoubtedly played countless times before, and it matters not a whit. His sense of refinement, elegance, and swing saturates the proceedings. Whether it's ...

A striking two-CD set featuring arguably history's finest jazz singer singing some of the best-written American pop standards on one of jazz's most prolific labels.

Most Requested Songs (2001) more music like this

by Susannah McCorkle

There's something incredibly tragic and ironic in the strange reality that finds a beloved jazz singer taking her own life just after compiling a collection of her best loved interpretations. So loved by so many, but perhaps -- as she wrote in her liner notes for her wistful reading of "If I Only Had a Heart" -- she was one of those people who ...

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

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 ...

Anything Goes, With Yo Yo Ma (1992) more music like this

by Stephane Grappelli with Yo-Yo Ma

It's obvious that this CD was marketed to the classical crowd first by its packaging and use of CBS rather than the Columbia label. Don't let that fool you; this is a jazz session with the renowned classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma joining the fun. The emphasis is on the music of Cole Porter, which was very familiar ground to Grappelli long before the ...

The Reprise Collection (1961) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Like The Capitol Years, the four-disc box set The Reprise Collection was released to celebrate Frank Sinatra's 75th anniversary. However, it works as a better sampler than the Capitol set, partially because Sinatra released so many albums on Reprise that it is necessary to have an introduction to such a large body of work. Also, his Reprise ...

Billie Holiday's story is so huge, her artistry so vast, and her impact so incalculable, that even attempting to corral a representative sampling of it within a single collection of recordings is an overwhelming, perhaps foolhardy task. Many have tried, of course, and literally hundreds of options of varying quality and legitimacy, scattered ...

Blending the orchestral pop sounds that were popular at the time with his jazz roots, Hackett delivers romantic, artful performances on Soft Lights' "Bobby's Blues," "Under a Blanket of Blue," and "Someday You'll Be Sorry," and on In a Mellow Mood's "Lazy ...

George Shearing recorded frequently while on Concord but this was his first full-length session of unaccompanied solos for the label. Most of the ten selections are interpreted as ballads (Shearing takes an effective vocal on his original "Imitations") but he does cook a bit on "Nobody Else but Me" and "Easy to Love." However the emphasis is on ...
