Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Foxtrots & Waltzes

Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Foxtrots & Waltzes (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Foxtrots & Waltzes was designed to cash in on the swing and lounge revival of the '90s by offering a selection of foxtrots and waltzes, along with a choreography and beats-per-minute-guide, designed for hip young swingers. Despite a few selections that are a little too slick or schmaltzy, the music on the ...

Plays Duke Ellington

Plays Duke Ellington (1955) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk

Thelonious Monk (piano/arranger) began his illustrious relationship with Riverside Records on the pair of July 21 and 27, 1955, dates needed to complete the eight sides for Plays Duke Ellington (1955). Monk commands a trio that also presents the talents of Oscar Pettiford (bass) and Kenny Clarke (drums) on all the tracks sans "Solitude," which ...

Sophisticated Lady [RCA]

Sophisticated Lady [RCA] (1940) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

This RCA CD reissue contains 19 Duke Ellington recordings from 1940-42 and 1945-46 and serves as a good introduction to Ellington's music of that era although veteran collectors will already have the material. Among the gems are the original version of "Take the 'A' Train," "I Got It Bad," "Perdido," "Caravan," a rendition of "It Don't Mean a ...

Ain't Necessarily So

Ain't Necessarily So (2007) more music like this

by Andy Bey

It took decades for Andy Bey to become an overnight success, but in the mid-'90s he was finally recognized as a premier talent, and recorded a handful of finely crafted discs. A true jazz singer avoiding monochromatic crooning, his style is deeply blue-hued, silky smooth but never slick. This live club date at Birdland in New York City was ...

Jazz 'Round Midnight: Erroll Garner

Jazz 'Round Midnight: Erroll Garner (1945) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

Another in a long line of fine Jazz 'Round Midnight collections from Verve, this Erroll Garner installment finds the pianist on a fine set of both trio sides and solo pieces. And if a jazz figure was ever tailor-made for this ballad-heavy series, then it's the dulcet-fingered Garner. This is especially true on such album highlights as "Don't Blame ...

The Great American Songbook: Live at Michael's Pub

The Great American Songbook: Live at Michael's Pub (1992) more music like this

by Mel Tormé

Mel Tormé, 67 at the time of this recording, proves to still be very much in his musical prime. His range remains impressive, his creative abilities have grown through the years and his breath control is remarkable; as proof Tormé holds some very long notes at the conclusion of some of the ballads. This live set finds Tormé backed by what he ...

Everybody Knows

Everybody Knows (1964) more music like this

by Johnny Hodges

This excellent single CD has the complete contents of two Impulse LPs: Everybody Knows Johnny Hodges and Inspired Abandon, which was actually a Lawrence Brown album featuring Hodges. The two similar and equally rewarding swing-oriented albums find Hodges joined by a variety of top Ellington stars, including trumpeters Cat Anderson and Ray Nance, ...

Once More...With Feeling!

Once More...With Feeling! (1991) more music like this

by Doc Severinsen & the Tonight Show Band

Of the Tonight Show Band's three Amherst CDs, this is the most highly recommended one. The repertoire is fresher than the songs featured on the two earlier releases and, in addition to the usual swing-era standards, such tunes as Tommy Newsom's "Three Shades of Blue" and Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" are included. Guest appearances by ...

Her Very Best

Her Very Best (2002) more music like this

by Gogi Grant

These 18 songs are all drawn from Grant's Era recordings in the mid-'50s. That period certainly found her at her commercial prime, encompassing the 1956 number one hit "The Wayward Wind" and the 1955 Top Tenner "Suddenly There's a Valley," which lead off this collection. Grant might have been better suited, though, to an era five or ten years ...

Best of the Verve Song Books: Love Songs

Best of the Verve Song Books: Love Songs (1956) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

Are you one of those people who can't walk through the jazz section without mooning over the lavishly packaged and heart-droppingly expensive 16-disc Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books set? If so, you're not alone, and Verve knows it. So to keep you from bemoaning your fate, the company has been releasing single-disc compilations drawn from the ...

Ballads, Blues & Bey

Ballads, Blues & Bey (1996) more music like this

by Andy Bey

Andy Bey was 56 when he recorded Ballads, Blues and Bey in 1995, and despite the fact that his voice had more rough edges than it did in the 1960s and '70s, he still had an impressive range and was among jazz's most expressive male singers. For this project, the Newark, NJ native didn't employ a band -- his only accompaniment is his own acoustic ...

R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) (2004) more music like this

by Nancy Wilson

Nancy Wilson's R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) is her duets album, but unlike other recent releases by singers in this format, which feature two vocalists (and often oddly matched ones, at that), most of the pairings here are with instrumentalists like George Shearing, Toots Thielemans, Phil Woods, and Gary Burton, which means this remains ...

I Remember Bobby (1990) more music like this

by Lou Colombo

Trumpeter Lou Colombo, who dedicated this CD to the lyrical cornetist Bobby Hackett, has a beautiful tone, some of Hackett's lyricism and a way of shaping solos that is similar to Jack Sheldon. Pianist Dave McKenna (who duets with Colombo on "The Gypsy"), guitarist Gray Sargent, bassist Phil Flanigan and drummer Keith Copeland are major assets on ...

The Duke: The Essential Recordings (1927-1962) (2000) more music like this

Unlike some labels, who chose to celebrate Duke Ellington's centennial with lavish sets of his complete recordings for a label, Columbia/Legacy decided to keep things relatively simple. They assembled Duke Ellington - The Essential Collection: 1927-1962, a three-disc set that features highlights of his sessions for Columbia over the years. ...

Montreux '77 (1977) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald with the Tommy Flanagan Trio

Ella Fitzgerald, 42 years after her recording debut, showed on this late concert recording that she still had the magic. Backed by pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Keter Betts, and drummer Bobby Durham, she sounds pretty strong at times, mostly singing veteran ballads but also getting hot on "Billie's Bounce." It's not essential but worth checking ...

On their first six recordings, the World Saxophone Quartet (comprised of altoists Oliver Lake and Julius Hemphill, tenor saxophonist David Murray, and baritonist Hamiet Bluiett) stuck exclusively to group originals. This 1986 release was a major departure, for the innovative group performed fresh and generally unpredictable versions of five songs ...

I Love Being Here With You (2002) more music like this

by Ernestine Anderson

One thing Concord Jazz cannot be accused of is failing to document Ernestine Anderson's live performances. When the veteran jazz singer was recording for Concord in the late '70s, '80s, and early '90s, the label put out several live albums that featured her extensively. Here's the thing: Not all of those albums were released under Anderson's own ...
