In the Wee Small Hours

In the Wee Small Hours (1954) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Expanding on the concept of Songs for Young Lovers!, In the Wee Small Hours was a collection of ballads arranged by Nelson Riddle. The first 12" album recorded by Sinatra, Wee Small Hours was more focused and concentrated than his two earlier concept records. It's a blue, melancholy album, built around a spare rhythm section featuring a rhythm ...

Moonlight in Vermont [Remastered]

Moonlight in Vermont [Remastered] (2004) more music like this

by Johnny Smith

All of guitarist Johnny Smith's most important recordings are on this definitive CD reissue. The talented guitarist (who always featured a very attractive tone and a relaxed style) had a major hit with "Moonlight in Vermont," thanks in large part to tenor saxophonist Stan Getz (who is heard on seven of the selections), and Smith was quite popular ...

Dancing in the Dark

Dancing in the Dark (2004) more music like this

by Tierney Sutton

This isn't Sutton's tribute to Sinatra, although all the material here was recorded and made famous by him. Instead, it's her working through the nooks and crannies of his songbook, and bringing things out and putting her own particular polish on them. It could be something with strings, such as "What'll I Do?" or the intimacy of "I'll Be Around," ...

Torch

Torch (1981) more music like this

by Carly Simon

Carly Simon slightly anticipated the trend toward contemporary pop singers by turning to pop standards here, singing songs like "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good" and "Body and Soul." The theme, of course, was romantic torment, and it was expressed no better than on the final track, a new song from Stephen Sondheim's then-upcoming musical Merrily ...

Misty

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 ...

All the Way

All the Way (1992) more music like this

by Jimmy Scott

The recording history of Little Jimmy Scott is peppered with long hiatuses from the recording studio. He was absent for a period of seven years from 1962 to 1969 and then for more than 15 years from 1975 to 1990. Bordering on singing in the range of a counter tenor, Scott brings a distinctive, immediately recognizable sound and sensitivity to ...

The Definitive George Shearing

The Definitive George Shearing (2002) more music like this

by George Shearing

British-born pianist George Shearing's work for the MGM and Capitol record labels from the late '40s to the early '60s is collected on this 21-track compilation. Beginning with four tracks recorded for MGM in 1949 with his unique quintet of guitar, bass, drums, and vibraphone (which would double the melody he was playing with his right hand), ...

Songs I Love to Sing

Songs I Love to Sing (1960) more music like this

by Brook Benton

Songs I Love to Sing by Brook Benton is a gorgeous array of 12 standards as interpreted by Benton and his collaborator, Clyde Otis. He does not sound like the Benton of his last hit, "Rainy Night in Georgia"; rather, the singer goes to the place where Nat King Cole reigned supreme. He sounds unbelievably like Cole on some of these tunes, the ...

Lady in Satin [Columbia 17 Track]

Lady in Satin [Columbia 17 Track] (1958) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

This is the most controversial of all Billie Holiday records. Lady Day herself said that this session (which finds her accompanied by Ray Ellis' string orchestra) was her personal favorite, and many listeners have found her emotional versions of such songs as "I'm a Fool to Want You," "You Don't Know What Love Is," "Glad to Be Unhappy," and ...

Come Rain or Come Shine (1999) more music like this

by Bobby Caldwell

For this, his 10th CD, Caldwell strikes poses of Frank Sinatra in phrasing, repertoire and arrangements. His flexible, enjoyable voice could not be mistaken as similar to anyone but Ol' Blue Eyes, and these twelve selections, plus a bonus pop tune from an earlier recording, echo The Chairman in swing and substance. The bands are made up of West ...

Army Air Force Band (2001) more music like this

by Glenn Miller & the Army Air Force Band

In 1956, RCA Victor released an ambitious, if imperfect, five-LP set that focused on U.S. performances by Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band; all of the material, which spanned July 1943-June 1944, was recorded before the orchestra moved to England. That five-LP set drove Miller's hardcore fans wild; they were thrilled to get their hands on a lot ...

The Board of Directors & Annual Report (1967) more music like this

by The Mills Brothers & Count Basie

Although they were contemporaries dating back to the 1930s, the Mills Brothers and Count Basie's band did not perform together on record until the late 1960s, when they cut these two albums in less than a year. Both are characteristic efforts combining songs associated with each group of artist with recent hits by others. Of course, the remakes of ...

Ballad Essentials (2000) more music like this

by Scott Hamilton

Scott Hamilton's Ballad Essentials collects interpretations of standards like "Skylark," "Body and Soul," "In a Sentimental Mood," "'Round Midnight," and "My Romance." A solid collection from one of mainstream jazz's most consistent tenor sax players. Heather Phares, All Music Guide

Sentimental Journey (2001) more music like this

by Rosemary Clooney

The cover of this titillating project by one of our best loved singers is a bit understated. "The Girl Singer and Her New Big Band" assumes that we know Clooney's legendary performances over the years, and that we're eager to hear her with another great band, doing clever twists on songs both very familiar ("That Old Black Magic" and the title ...

Love Is Blue (2004) more music like this

by Jackie Allen

Although very much a jazz singer, Jerry Allen explores music on Love Is Blue that crosses over style-wise into 1970s pop and singer/songwriter material. There are versions of two veteran standards ("Lazy Afternoon" and Alec Wilder's "I'll Be Around") but most of the repertoire, which deals with the darker side of love, is made up of recent ...

Fifty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett (2004) more music like this

by Tony Bennett

When the first version of this impressive box set was originally released in 1991 (as Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett), it put the capstone upon Tony Bennett's remarkable return to prominence by looking back at a legacy that had been overshadowed by that of the colossus Sinatra. The collection methodically traced his career from his ...

The Mills Brothers: The Anthology is a comprehensive 48-song overview of the vocal group's career, spanning their entire career and featuring 32 of their biggest hits. Most of their most famous songs -- including "Paper Doll," "Glow-Worm," "Lazy River," and "Rockin' Chair" -- are included on this double-disc set and the sound is the best it has ...

by Marian McPartland

Contrasts is a two-fer collection of work by pianist Marian McPartland featuring the albums Plays the Music of Alec Wilder and Marian and Jimmy McPartland: A Sentimental Journey. Showcasing the exquisite playing of the NPR jazz host, both albums are worth checking out. Disc one should appeal to longtime McPartland fans with the pianist working ...

Along With Me (1994) more music like this

by Bill Charlap

This CD has the recording debut as a leader of pianist Bill Charlap. Already a member of the Gerry Mulligan Quartet, Charlap would soon join the Phil Woods Quartet/Quintet. A master at swinging veteran standards and casting new light on warhorses, even at this early stage Charlap sounded quite impressive. He is heard in duets with bassist Sean ...

In 1999, Collectables released Solos/Don Shirley With 2 Basses, which contained two complete albums -- Solos (1957, originally released on Cadence) and Don Shirley With 2 Basses (1957, originally released on Cadence) -- by Don Shirley on one compact disc. Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

Nightlife in Tokyo (2003) more music like this

by Eric Alexander

First off, while its title might suggest otherwise, this is not a live album; the CD takes its name from a piece by Eric Alexander's pianist, the veteran Harold Mabern. This is a fitting gesture, as Mabern is a key to this session's many pleasures and has been a mentor to Alexander during the saxophonist's steady rise to the top ranks of his art ...
