Come Dance with Me!
(1958)

by
Frank Sinatra
Working with Billy May again, Frank Sinatra recorded his hardest swing album ever with Come Dance with Me! Driven by an intensely swinging horn section, the album has a fair share of slower numbers, but the songs that make the biggest impression are the up-tempo cuts. With May's charts wildly careening all over the place, Sinatra relies on his ...

Doris Day w/ James Cagney
Love Me or Leave Me was one of Doris Day's greatest, and least likely, successes. Coming out of a string of light movie musicals, she turned in a dramatic performance in this film biography of singer Ruth Etting. She looked nothing like Etting and made no attempt to sound like her, either. But since Etting's recordings of the 1920s and '30s were ...

Frank Sinatra
The beauty of any Frank Sinatra collection is that, depending upon how it is put together by the producers for whatever purpose they have in mind, each one allows the listener to focus on a different aspect of the singer's work and pick out new and varied details. On one level, this double-CD set is a good compromise for listeners who aren't ...

The Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason

by
Jackie Gleason
This is a fine compilation of Jackie Gleason's output for Columbia. Gleason's objective was to make "musical wallpaper" that should never be intrusive, but rather conducive. He was not musically literate, but never had a problem articulating what he wanted to hear from his orchestra. The music here is quiet, melancholy, and often somber, played at ...

This sampler from the Everest catalog is meant to stimulate sales during the Valentine's Day season. Surprisingly, only three of the 15 songs have vocals and it is a bit of a stretch calling some of these numbers love songs. It does serve as a good excuse for a variety of ballads and melodic pieces from the 1950s and early '60s (with the Django ...
