The Frankie Laine Collection: The Mercury Years (1991) more music like this

by Frankie Laine

This starts with studio chatter and runs through 22 tracks, dated 1946-1950. It's far more bluesy/jazzy than his later Columbia material. Hank Davis, All Music Guide

Spoon (1961) more music like this

by Jimmy Witherspoon

This 1961 large-band jazz date places Jimmy Witherspoon on the Reprise label in the company of some heavy hitters -- Teddy Edwards on saxophone, Gerald Wilson on trumpet, Gerald Wiggins on piano, trombonist Herbie Harper, bassist Jimmy Bond, and guitarist Al Viola -- just to name a few. The program on Spoon, of course, is mostly standards, with ...

Golden Greats (2002) more music like this

by Nat King Cole

The three-CD box set Golden Greats offers, at a budget disc's price and with a budget disc's meager additions, a complex view of Nat King Cole's career. The set includes 76 tracks from his 25-year span as a pop icon, spread well throughout his various periods, and neglecting very few of his classics (among the hits on tap: "Unforgettable," "Orange ...

The Jazz Collector Edition: Nat King Cole Trio Recordings (1940) more music like this

by Nat King Cole Trio

This five-CD set, despite the lack of definitive liner notes, is highly recommended. The bulk of this package (most of four discs) features the Nat King Cole Trio on radio transcriptions during 1944-1945 and these renditions are easily the equal of their more famous studio recordings. The fifth disc is a hodgepodge that reaches back to 1940 for ...

That's My Desire [ASV/Living Era] (2002) more music like this

by Frankie Laine

Though many pop vocalists of the '50s were blessed with gorgeous pipes, few had the intelligence to use them well. One of the few exceptions was Frankie Laine, who sounded smooth and sentimental on down-tempo material like "Mam'selle" or "We'll Be Together Again" (his theme song), but suitably heroic and masculine on his outdoorsy hits of the '50s ...

Cocktail Hour (2000) more music like this

by Frankie Laine

All the essential tracks by this underrated singer are here. It's rather fascinating to hear him develop from swinging songbird to country inflected crooner over the course of the two discs. Unfortunately there is no background on Laine or these sessions, but the music does speak quite well for itself. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide
