Ella Fitzgerald with Count Basie
This studio album matches together Ella Fitzgerald and the Count Basie Orchestra 16 years after they first recorded together.

Various Artists
Rhino's Sirens of Song: Classic Torch Singers is an excellent collection of late-night, lovelorn vocals by some of the best singers of the century -- and yes, all of them are female, since a strict definition of torch singing (not to mention sirens) excludes males. The collection leads off with "Cry Me a River" by Julie London, the prototypical ...

This is a three-CD budget collection of many great swing tunes performed by the biggest names in swing music. The sound quality is good, as are the performances, but the lack of discographical information could be frustrating to jazz aficionados. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide

by
Original Soundtrack
Even more so than with most of the soundtracks to Woody Allen's movies, Radio Days is filled with a strong nostalgic tone, comprised as it is of material from the heyday of the swing era, which coincides with the movie's era and setting. Its appeal is, thus, not limited to fans of the movie Radio Days -- rather, owing to the care with which Allen ...

Billy Vaughn
Of the two Dot-era albums compiled here by Collectables, Sail Along Silv'ry Moon from 1958 is easily the best known for its title track, which was a smash single -- in fact, the highest-charting single Billy Vaughn and his two saxophones ever had. Vaughn played an alto and used a second one tonally about a third behind. He usually employed a pair ...
