My Funny Valentine: The Rodgers & Hart Songbook

My Funny Valentine: The Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

One of the choicest of Verve's many venerable songbook releases, My Funny Valentine spotlights some of the jazz canon's best moments in song; and how could it be otherwise, considering the program features the core of Rodgers & Hart's monumental song canon? That's why it's an all-star affair, with such singing royalty as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah ...

Bobby Short Celebrates Rodgers & Hart

Bobby Short Celebrates Rodgers & Hart (1975) more music like this

by Bobby Short

Bobby Short is the Frank Sinatra of the supper clubs. Like Sinatra, Short is a consummate entertainer, a true professional. But the distance between Caesar's Palace and the Café Carlyle is approximately equal to the distance between Hoboken and uptown Manhattan, and Short's style is absolutely uptown. He has none of the hardscrabble swagger that ...

The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd

The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd (1960) more music like this

by Charlie Byrd

Before he toured South America and discovered bossa nova, guitarist Charlie Byrd already had his recognizable sound formed. A master on the acoustic guitar who was well trained in classical music, Byrd performed regularly in Washington D.C. from 1958-60, recording for the tiny Offbeat label. This CD reissue of a set originally on Offbeat and then ...

Sings the Rodgers and Hart Song Book [Vol. 2]

Sings the Rodgers and Hart Song Book [Vol. 2] (1956) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

This second and final volume of Ella Fitzgerald's superb Rodgers & Hart songbook matches the high standard of the first, thanks to another beguiling mix of ballads and swingers. Once again, arranger Buddy Bregman deftly shifts between brassy brightness and after-hours opulence, allowing Fitzgerald's supple voice to shine through. With more of an ...

Introducing Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 20

Introducing Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 20 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

At least this pocket-sized, budget-priced trip through 22 years of jazz doesn't pretend to be a definitive primer on jazz. It is simply and purely a sampler from the first 19 issues of Verve's Jazz Masters series; in other words, a sampler of a sampler. There is some clever segueing; the opening track, Louis Armstrong's "Just One of Those Things" ...

Eximious

Eximious (1982) more music like this

by Joe Pass

Joe Pass took time off from his solo guitar projects to record this excellent trio set with bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and drummer Martin Drew. Pass swings hard throughout, is consistently inventive within the bebop tradition, and indulges in close interplay with Pedersen. Together, these musicians make the wondrous seem effortless. ...

Benny Rides Again

Benny Rides Again (1958) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

Goodman leads a big band again for the majority of this album with few surprises. The instrumentals (all standards except for the recent "Stereo Stomp") are fine but the unidentified personnel (which has such players as Bob Wilbur, Pepper Adams and Russ Freeman) mostly functions as an anonymous ensemble. Better are the four selections by Goodman ...

Chet Baker Introduces Johnny Pace

Chet Baker Introduces Johnny Pace (1958) more music like this

by Chet Baker

The liner notes begin with this sentence: "It's hard to think of this album as anything short of the first major step towards real success for the exciting and appealing young singer being introduced here." Oh, well. The fact that Pace ended up, at best, a minor footnote in jazz history doesn't detract at all from the significant pleasures to be ...

Show Tunes (1988) more music like this

by Rosemary Clooney

This Rosemary Clooney project (part of an extensive series she has made for Concord) has a more open topic than her songbooks. The show tunes on the set range from older songs such as "Manhattan" and "Taking a Chance on Love" to "I Stayed Too Long at the Fair" and the Bergman's "Where Do You Start." With a few exceptions, Clooney avoids the more ...

Piano Blues Rarities 1933-1937 [Story of the Blues/Peter Pan] (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

There are certainly no household names to be found on this somewhat obscure release from the Da Music label; the music was leased from Document and essentially duplicates an LP on CD. Included are the complete recordings of four pianist/singers (Whistlin' Rufus, Earl Thomas, Ben Abney, and Curtis Henry) plus two songs by singer/guitar Red Nelson ...

Blossom Dearie for Café Aprés-midi (2003) more music like this

by Blossom Dearie

While far too idiosyncratic to serve as a proper point of entry into the Blossom Dearie catalog, this edition of the wonderful Café Après-midi series is nevertheless the most nuanced and sympathetic overview of the singer's career -- although most retrospectives focus almost solely on Dearie's piano-trio records for Verve, here compiler Toru ...

The Tal Farlow Album (1954) more music like this

For guitarist Tal Farlow's second album as a leader (following a very obscure effort for Blue Note), he is joined by rhythm guitarist Barry Galbraith, bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Joe Morello on eight numbers, and pianist Claude Williamson and bassist Red Mitchell for the remaining four.
