by
Billy Eckstine
Not the greatest-hits compilation listeners may think it is, Billy's Best! is in fact a full LP, one of Eckstine's first for Mercury, and the best of his career. Wrapped in strings and the brassy notes of a few jazzmen by arrangers Henry Mancini and Pete Rugolo, Eckstine slides through a dozen ballads and romantic songs, "Stella by Starlight," ...

A Jazz Romance: A Night in With Verve

by
Various Artists
In jazz, ballads have a way of separating the men from the boys and the women from the girls. They show what an improviser is made of emotionally. On ballads, technique for the sake of technique doesn't cut it -- you have to bring some genuine feeling and honest-to-God emotion to the table. And there is plenty of honest-to-God emotion on this four ...

Because of You

more music like this
by
Freddy Cole
Freddy Cole's voice may be a bit worn, but it is still expressive and quite effective on this CD, a tribute to Tony Bennett. Rather than re-create Bennett's greatest hits, Cole sings a few of Bennett's favorite songs in a typically straightforward manner. Houston Person's tenor is a major asset on six of the ten selections (he always seems to work ...

by
Gary LeMel
The 11 songs placed side by side here, along with a tasteful reprise of the Carole Bayer Sager/Peter Allen chestnut "I'd Rather Leave When I'm in Love," make for a wonderful blend of sophisticated Le Mel easy jazz-vocal musings. The seamlessness of the album speaks as much about Gary Le Mel's musical instincts as it does for Billy Child's ...

It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but there are no bonus tracks or new packaging or remastering, which means it's of ...
