What a Diff'rence a Day Makes!

more music like this
by
Dinah Washington
One of the more notorious albums in the history of vocal music, What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! is the lush session that bumped up Dinah Washington from the "Queen of the Blues" to a middle-of-the-road vocal wondress -- and subsequently disenfranchised quite a few jazz purists. Washington had been praised in the same breath as Holiday and ...

by
Dinah Washington
Abbey Lincoln compiled The Ultimate Dinah Washington, a 16-track selection of Washington's best-known songs that offers an excellent introduction to her Verve recordings. Although purists and collectors will have little use for this set, it suits the purposes of neophytes and curious listeners quite well. Among the highlights are "What a Diff ...

Charles Brown
Charles Brown's casual yet stunning phrasing, inventive voicings, and piano accompaniment are wonderfully presented on this ten-song set. Ron Levy's production and the arrangements of Wardell Quezergue and Brown are tasteful, breezy, and geared for his carefully constructed, teasing solos and rich, creamy leads. Such numbers as Brown's classic ...

by
Dinah Washington
Dinah Washington's digital discography is riddled with compilations that brandish the word "Gold," as in "Golden Classics," "Golden Hits," "Golden Songs," "Golden Greats," "Golden Stars," and "Goldies." All that glitter, however, does not necessarily describe or guarantee well-produced collections. Happily, Verve's 2007 double-disc Washington ...

These Foolish Things

by
Etta James
James has long been a masterful blues balladeer -- a talent spotlighted throughout the course of this 14-song collection. Some tracks are cushioned by string-enriched arrangements, others -- notably 1965's passionate "Only Time Will Tell" -- are melodic Chicago soul. Four tracks are previously unreleased, including her reading of Billie Holiday's ...

Romantically Yours

more music like this
by
Marvin Gaye
Romantically Yours, much like When I'm Alone I Cry, compiles the quieter moments of Marvin Gaye's earlier works. Much to the chagrin of Motown executives, Gaye always wanted to release an album of vocal standards in the stylings of one of his musical heroes, the swarthy Nat King Cole. The results are a bit uneven, and those wishing to hear Gaye at ...

Various Artists
Blues in the Night is a sampler of mainstream, edges-off contemporary blues cuts, most of which stay fairly low-key. Charles Brown's "Black Night" has a jazzy elegance, Wilson Pickett's tale of regret and struggle, "It's Harder Now," feels like a classic, and Aretha Franklin can't keep the gospel out of "Nobody Knows the Way I Feel This Morning," ...

If the midline-priced Marvin Gaye compilation Love Songs: Bedroom Ballads seems to have two titles grafted together, that's not inappropriate to the album's contents. The album's love songs are the seven romantic standards Gaye labored over for more than a decade and never released during his lifetime, tracks that finally were issued in 1997 under ...

One of the funniest jokes that has made the rounds in the jazz world goes like this: how many jazz vocalists does it take to sing "My Funny Valentine"? All of them. The point is that so many jazz artists -- males and females, singers and instrumentalists -- insist on performing the most overdone Tin Pan Alley warhorses no matter how much those ...

Tony Bennett has been compiled often, but never with the concentration of Living Era's Take My Hand... which spans only the first three years of his career. The 26-track disc begins with one of his biggest early hits, "Stranger in Paradise" (a nod to the compilation's title), but then returns to his recording debut in April 1950, which yielded not ...

For most artists, a collection named "50 Greatest Hits" on a Portuguese label would be suspect at best. In the case of Dinah Washington and this collection, it's actually a pity that a package of this quality wasn't released stateside. For starters, it's large. While this could have been some compiler's subjective list of favorites or a ripoff ...
