Only the Lonely

Only the Lonely (1958) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Originally, Frank Sinatra had planned to record Only the Lonely with Gordon Jenkins, who had arranged his previous all-ballads album, Where Are You. Jenkins was unavailable at the time of the sessions, which led Sinatra back to his original arranger at Capitol, Nelson Riddle. The result is arguably his greatest ballads album. Only the Lonely ...

The Art of Romance

The Art of Romance (2004) more music like this

by Tony Bennett

Few vocalists have earned what Tony Bennett enjoys: the absolute authority of recording exactly what he wants, exactly the way he wants. And when recording an album of love songs, easily the most common of all conceptual works, no other singer would have the talent to capture both the edges and the subtleties to make what has been tried, many ...

Time for Love: The Best of Julie London

Time for Love: The Best of Julie London (1991) more music like this

by Julie London

A collection of dusky, atmospheric mood music released as a CD in 1990, Time for Love serves as a superb overview of the jazz-pop songstress in her prime. Seductive and personal interpretations of "No Moon at All," "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," "Cry Me a River" (a major hit for her), and other classics beautifully demonstrate that, like June ...

Easy Street

Easy Street (1994) more music like this

by Dave McKenna

The perfect way to hear pianist Dave McKenna is on his solo records; fortunately he has recorded quite a few for Concord. McKenna enjoys performing sets of music with thematic titles. The first seven songs on this date all have something to do with a street (from "Broadway" and "Basin Street Blues" to "Street of Dreams" and "On the Street Where ...

The Complete Riverside Recordings

The Complete Riverside Recordings (1959) more music like this

by Wes Montgomery

Wes Montgomery recorded exclusively for the Riverside label during the four years covered by this massive 12-CD box set and, although his later albums for Verve and particularly the pop/jazz A&M dates sold many more copies, it is from his Riverside dates that his legacy was primarily formed. Virtually unknown at the time of his debut on Riverside, ...

Gone With the Wind (1959) more music like this

by Dave Brubeck Quartet

This dynamic quartet, strongly influential during the cool jazz period, performed as a group from 1951 to 1967. Since the 1930s, leader Dave Brubeck received high praise and critical acclaim for his role as bandleader and for his stirring arrangements. At the piano, Brubeck plays along with the accompaniment of Paul Desmond, another timeless jazz ...

The Ella in Berlin [Complete Ella in Berlin: Mack the Knife]

The Ella in Berlin [Complete Ella in Berlin: Mack the Knife] (1960) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald was at the peak of her form during her 1960 tour of Europe. Her Berlin concert is most remembered for her hilariously inventive version of "Mack the Knife," during which she forgot the words and substituted ones of her own that somehow fit, amazing herself in the process. In addition to the original LP program, this CD has two ...

Billie's Best

Billie's Best (1992) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

There is no end in sight to the debate over Billie Holiday's career as a vocalist: Is the essence of her art to be found in her early recordings for Columbia or in the recordings she made for Verve at the end of her short and, by all accounts, miserable life? The early work finds her in clearer voice and singing with energy and conviction, while ...

California Here I Come

California Here I Come (1967) more music like this

by Bill Evans

Philly Joe Jones was a member of the Bill Evans Trio for a short time in 1967 but none of his recordings with the pianist were released at the time. This two-LP set from 1982 features the pair (along with bassist Eddie Gomez who had recently started his own longtime association with Evans) in superb form. Jones consistently lit a fire under the ...

Jazz Moments

Jazz Moments (1962) more music like this

by George Shearing

This album freed pianist George Shearing from the confines of his popular Quintet and showcases him in a trio with Ahmad Jamal's former sidemen (bassist Israel Crosby and drummer Vernel Fournier). Crosby, heard in his final recording, is in excellent form during these performances and receives some rare opportunities to solo. The main star as ...

Intensity (1960) more music like this

by Art Pepper

This album, reissued on CD with an additional song, "Fine Points," was altoist Art Pepper's final one of his early period and was released when he was already serving a long prison sentence due to his addiction to heroin. Assisted by pianist Dolo Coker, bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Frank Butler, Pepper was just starting to show the influence of ...

People Time (1991) more music like this

by Stan Getz with Kenny Barron

Stan Getz's final recording, a two-CD live set of duets with pianist Kenny Barron that was cut just three months before his death, finds the great tenor in surprisingly creative form despite an occasional shortness of breath. Getz's tone is as beautiful as ever and he does not spare himself on this often exquisite set. His version of Charlie Haden ...

In My Life (1993) more music like this

by Marian McPartland

Pianist Marian McPartland displays her versatility throughout this reflective and generally thoughtful CD on such selections as the Beatles' "In My Life," John Coltrane's "Red Planet," Ivan Lins' "Velas," and Ornette Coleman's "Ramblin'." Despite the diverse repertoire, McPartland's own flexible style shines through and her individual musical ...

Misty (1958) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan & Quincy Jones

A compilation of two albums recorded in Europe under the direction of Quincy Jones, these sessions catch Sarah Vaughan at her magnificent best. There may be claims of overdoing it or garishness. But her set of pipes and her willingness to use them dramatically, and sometimes coyly, to bring out the best of everything she sings brushes aside such ...

Cross Country Tour: 1958-1961 (1998) more music like this

This two-CD set has highlights from pianist Ahmad Jamal's famous trio dates for Argo, with selections drawn from At the Pershing, At the Pershing Vol. 2, Portfolio of Ahmad Jamal, Alhambra, and At the Blackhawk, plus one selection only out before in a sampler. It is a pity that the five valuable albums were not reissued in full on a three-CD set, ...

Stretches Out (2002) more music like this

by Mike Jones

Stretches Out is pianist Mike Jones' fourth CD on the Chiaroscuro label and is possibly the best of the four. It was recorded live in Las Vegas and there are no edits and no inserts. Jones plays 11 songs, including a lively version of "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street." This solo piano effort effectively ...

Sophisticated Lady (2001) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass

Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass made a number of studio recordings as a duo between 1973 and 1986 for Pablo, but this is their first concert CD to appear on the label. Composed of excerpts from a 1975 date in Hamburg and a 1983 appearance in Tokyo, it provides an interesting contrast as Fitzgerald's abilities declined during the eight-year gap due to ...

My Shining Hour (2002) more music like this

by Howard Alden

With all of the recording activity by guitarist Howard Alden in the dozen or so years prior to the 2002 release of My Shining Hour, it is hard to believe that this is his first unaccompanied date. Alternating between electric and acoustic archtop seven-string guitars, Alden delivers one masterful performance after another. His brilliant technique ...

Day by Day/Day by Night (2000) more music like this

by Doris Day

When Doris Day freed herself from those cotton candy films she appeared in, where her singing for the most part was limited to cute novelty tunes, she showed that she could successfully sink her vocal teeth into some solid standard material. The LPs compiled on this CD come from the late '50s, when she was recording for Columbia with backing from ...

A Band Is Born/Big Band Bash (2000) more music like this

by Billy May

A Band Is Born/Big Band Bash collects two of Billy May's early-'50s albums onto one CD. Both albums balance his big-band roots with a bit of the pop he would explore in his later work. "All of Me," "Fat Man Boogie," and "Lulu's Back in Town" are some of A Band Is Born's exuberant highlights, while "Orchids in the Moonlight," "Perfidia," and ...

An excellent cross-section of Heidt's most successful and highest-quality work which embraces both his most sophisicated numbers and his biggest hits, beginning with "Gone with the Wind" in 1937 and ending with "Now Is the Hour," cut a decade later. Larry Cotton is the featured vocalist on eight of the 24 cuts, and shines on most of them ("The ...

The Tatum Group Masterpieces, Vol. 8 [Bonus Tracks] (1992) more music like this

by Art Tatum

The final volume in this very worthy series is a comparatively relaxed affair, a quartet set with tenor-saxophonist Ben Webster. Webster lets Tatum fill the background with an infinite number of notes while emphasizing his warm tenor tone in the forefront on a variety of melodic ballads and standards. The combination works very well. Scott Yanow ...
