Come Fly with Me

by
Frank Sinatra
Constructed around a light-hearted travel theme, Come Fly With Me, Frank Sinatra's first project with arranger Billy May, was a breezy change of pace from the somber Where Are You. From the first swinging notes of Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen's "Come Fly With Me" -- which is written at Sinatra's request -- it's clear that the music on the ...

by
Russ Morgan & His Orchestra
This is an album of radio transcriptions by Russ Morgan and His Orchestra. The performances are good, the sound quality is fine, and the disc has a reasonable running time of over an hour. But the album's title is deceptive: the word "original" suggests that these are studio recordings, which they are not, and the word "hits" suggests that they ...

Caution! Men Swinging

by
Dennis Farnon
If you're ever going to make just one hard-driving, swinging-like-mad big-band recording, model it after Caution! Men Swinging. That was to be the destiny of Canadian-born Dennis Farnon, who wrote such whimsical material as "Mother Magoo Suite" and arranged for the movies. But on one day in Los Angeles in 1956, he gathered a large group of ...

Buddy Morrow
With slick, Latin-influenced arrangements of swing classics, Buddy Morrow held on to his love for swing well past the movement's bitter end. In this collection of big band recordings compiled from his two LPs, Night Train and Big Band Guitar, Morrow and his band perfectly typify the late sound of the classically hip big band that is most commonly ...

The Joe Meek EP Collection Box

Joe Meek
The EP was a much more popular format in the U.K. in the early 1960s than it would be at any subsequent time, so naturally many of Joe Meek's productions got issued on extended-play discs. This box set doesn't come close to containing all of the EPs with Joe Meek-produced tracks; there were way too many for that. But this 12-CD set does have a ...

Flee-Rekkers
Given how much of the music Joe Meek produced has been exhumed, reissued and remastered since the early '90s, it's a little surprising that it took this long to get a definitive Fabulous Flee Rekkers collection. The 1997 Fabulous Flee Rekkers CD gathered most of the band's officially released material, but leave it to Castle, who also released the ...

These five CDs of material, available separately or in a box, were cut at two successive birthday celebrations for Ellington in 1953 and 1954 at McElroy's Ballroom in Portland, OR. They capture Ellington during his period with Capitol Records, which is usually not regarded as one of his better eras, mostly because he and the label never really got ...

This excellent overview of British dance bands from the 1930s has only one puzzling flaw: where is Birt (aka "Bert") Firman? The omission is conspicuous, considering how inclusive the roster is. The relatively famous names, including Ambrose, Roy Fox, Ray Noble, Harry Roy, Annunzio Mantovani, and Jack Hylton, appear among others who are perhaps ...
