The Definitive Collection [Geffen]

The Definitive Collection [Geffen] (2006) more music like this

by Bing Crosby

The chief drawbacks to this album lie in its title and its marketing, not its contents. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Universal Music, repository of the largest catalog of vintage music in the world, embarked on several reissue programs with different price points aimed at different consumers. There was the 20th Century Masters/The ...

Chet Baker Sings

Chet Baker Sings (1956) more music like this

by Chet Baker

As Gerald Heard's liner notes point out, it's difficult to decide whether Chet Baker was a trumpet player who sang or a singer who played trumpet. When the 24-year-old California-based trumpeter started his vocal career in 1954, his singing was revolutionary; as delicate and clear as his trumpet playing, with a similarly bright and vibrato-free ...

The Complete Helen Forrest with Benny Goodman

The Complete Helen Forrest with Benny Goodman (2001) more music like this

by Helen Forrest

Appearing with Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, and Harry James during the late '30s and early '40s, Helen Forrest became one of the most popular swing era singers -- even vocal authority Mel Tormé named her his favorite, male or female. Though her voice wasn't quite as clear as Doris Day's, Forrest was an excellent interpreter, and her sweet vocals ...

The Essential Frank Sinatra with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra

The Essential Frank Sinatra with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra (2005) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra/Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra

At the beginning of his career, Frank Sinatra already possessed a large number of the qualities that would make him one of the music powerhouses of the century. His elegance, his warmth, his relaxed yet controlled performing persona, his gift of conveying innumerable subtleties even while singing a song straight -- all of these were apparent in ...

My Funny Valentine [Blue Note] (1953) more music like this

by Chet Baker

At his peak, Chet Baker's playing and singing were original, compelling, and unforgettable; his voice had an innocent, intriguing quality and surprising range, while his trumpet work was as striking and melodically stunning as anyone who's ever worked predominantly in the middle register. These 14 cuts were done in 1954 as Baker turned heads on ...

In the 50-plus years since Glenn Miller died, RCA Victor, buoyed by continuing sales, has repackaged his recordings repeatedly.

Golden Greats (2002) more music like this

by Bing Crosby

The reason for the plethora of CD reissues of the recordings of vintage recordings artists like Bing Crosby since the 1990s is simple: International copyright lapses after 50 years, putting those artists' catalogs into the public domain, at least in Europe. Each year, more reissues come out on labels that don't have to pay for licensing, their ...

This very interesting three-CD set features trumpeter Harry James's Orchestra on a variety of previously unreleased radio broadcast performances.

A Centennial Anthology of His Decca Recordings (2003) more music like this

by Bing Crosby

Bing Crosby recorded exclusively for Decca Records from 1934-1955 and non-exclusively for a couple of years after that, and Decca purchased some of the masters he recorded for Brunswick prior to his Decca contract, so parent company MCA (a part of Universal) owns the bulk of his studio recordings.
