Nice Work If You Can Get It: Songs by the Gershwins

Nice Work If You Can Get It: Songs by the Gershwins (1996) more music like this

by Michael Feinstein

Nice Work If You Can Get It: Songs by the Gershwins is Michael Feinstein's second all-Gershwin album. His first, Pure Gershwin, was his best record, probably because, as a former secretary to Ira Gershwin, he knew his way around the material. This time, Feinstein puts his extensive knowledge of the Gershwin catalogue to good use, unearthing lost ...

No More Ouzo for Puzo

No More Ouzo for Puzo (1988) more music like this

by Dave McKenna Quartet with Gray Sargent

Despite the ambiguous meaning of the title cut (Puzo is for a jazz fan, Charlie Puzo, but "ouzo" is never defined), the music on this quartet set is easy to understand. Pianist Dave McKenna teams up with guitarist Gray Sargent (a new discovery at the time), bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Jimmie Smiths for memorable renditions of a few standards ...

Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book [3-CD]

Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book [3-CD] (1959) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Songbook is an extraordinary three-disc set that collects various versions of Gershwin songs Ella Fitzgerald recorded for Verve. These have been available in individual editions before, and they are valuable in any form, but this is an excellent compilation blessed with lavish packaging and terrific sound. ...

At Ease with Coleman Hawkins [RVG Remasters]

At Ease with Coleman Hawkins [RVG Remasters] (1960) more music like this

by Coleman Hawkins

Recorded originally for the Prestige subsidiary Moodsville, Coleman Hawkins (along with the Tommy Flanagan Trio) sticks exclusively to ballads and slower pieces, all played at a low flame. Although it is nice to hear the veteran tenor interpreting "Poor Butterfly" and "I'll Get By," this CD is more successful as pleasant background music than as ...

The Michael Feinstein Anthology

The Michael Feinstein Anthology (2002) more music like this

by Michael Feinstein

With selections drawn from three releases dating back to 1987 and up to his 1996 Gershwin collection, this anthology demonstrates not so much that Feinstein is a great singer, but that he is a kind of Barry Manilow for people with long memories. The appeal of the two artists is almost identical -- their arrangements lush and melodramatic, their ...

A Proper Introduction to the Modern Jazz Quartet: La Ronde (2002) more music like this

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

Considering the lengthy career of the Modern Jazz Quartet as a working band, their extensive discography, and the many different projects they undertook, providing a definitive or even cursory introduction to their work might be a bit daunting. Still, this collection, with 17 tracks total, is quite the proper introduction to this legendary chamber ...

Over the Rainbow and Beyond (2002) more music like this

by Judy Garland

Once England's ASV/Living Era began issuing double-disc sets on major artists like Glenn Miller, Peggy Lee, and their subject here, Judy Garland, the label's fastidious attention to detail reaped major dividends for swing and vocal fans. Over the Rainbow and Beyond is probably the most sweeping collection of Garland's early career ever compiled, ...

Live at Steinway Hall (2000) more music like this

by John Eaton

For both jazz and classical artists, New York's Steinway Hall is the ultimate piano showroom. Pianists might fade into the background in Manhattan's numerous clubs, bars, and restaurants, but at Steinway Hall, attentive audiences are the rule. So Steinway was a perfect venue for John Eaton when, in January 2000, the swing pianist gave a concert ...

Sings the George Gershwin Almanac of Song (1956) more music like this

by Chris Connor

Most of this highly recommended two-CD set is taken from a series of 1957 sessions in which singer Chris Connor exclusively interprets songs of George Gershwin. To fill out the CDs, additional Gershwin cuts from other, otherwise unrelated dates by the vocalist have been added. Connor's cool delivery gives many of the largely familiar songs new ...

My One and Only (1998) more music like this

by Trudy Desmond

On singer Trudy Desmond's strongest recording up to this point, she explores 13 George Gershwin songs, most of which have lyrics by Ira Gershwin. Rather than run through the usual "greatest hits," Desmond alternates well-known pieces with two that had been previously performed only as instrumentals ("Walking the Dog" and "Piano Prelude II") and a ...

Golden Years of Dick Haymes (2003) more music like this

by Dick Haymes

European copyright law, which places recordings over 50 years old in the public domain, has caused a flood of cheap, low-quality reissues of the work of the major recording artists of the first half of the 20th century. But, in addition to the bottom-feeders, there are a few reputable record labels that use their free access to vintage recordings ...

I Can't Give You Anything But Love (2003) more music like this

by Mel Tormé

The back cover of this Mel Tormé compilation from the Rajon label boasts "Recordings by Original Artist." A high claim indeed, and one that's borne out by each of these 20 tracks. No more information is given about the recordings, however, which date from the mid-to-late '40s, around the time of Tormé's hit "Careless Hands" (not included here). ...

Taking advantage of international copyright limitations that put recordings over 50 years old in the public domain, Dutch reissue label Disky has produced this lengthy but barebones three-disc package of vintage Judy Garland recordings by transferring 78s to the digital realm.
