Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II

more music like this
by
Various Artists
World War II and big-band pop-era compilations are released almost as regularly as Christmas albums, and the glut has caused more harm than good; it seems any good ones are quickly swallowed up by the racks full of short, ill-advised, uninformative collections. Though any single label could never do justice to the war years, with a little clever ...

Brook Benton
Songs I Love to Sing by Brook Benton is a gorgeous array of 12 standards as interpreted by Benton and his collaborator, Clyde Otis. He does not sound like the Benton of his last hit, "Rainy Night in Georgia"; rather, the singer goes to the place where Nat King Cole reigned supreme. He sounds unbelievably like Cole on some of these tunes, the ...

Released to coincide with the publication of Peter Levinson's biography of the same name, Capitol Jazz's Trumpet Blues: The Best of Harry James is an excellent collection of 16 highlights from James' stint at Capitol between 1955 and 1958.

The resulting long-player, appropriately titled Hello, Dolly!, also went to number one and produced ...

Peggy Lee spent a good many years with Capitol, and it was there that she cut some of her best sides. Save for a few years in the late '40s (and several early hits), Lee hit her stride with the label during the end of the '50s and throughout the '60s.

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 ...

By the year 1940 Bing Crosby was only faintly recognizable as the smarty-pants jazz-pop singer who cut up with the Rhythm Boys, rode like a pilot fish on the Paul Whiteman orchestra and sang a brief scat chorus during an Okeh recording of "Mississippi Mud" with Frankie Trumbauer and Bix Beiderbecke in January of 1928.

Kitsch value aside, what makes It's Time for Tina a cut above most celebrity reissues is the album's conceptual ambition: its sultry songs are arranged in order to create a storyline depicting a night of romance with Tina Louise herself. Plus, it's got Coleman Hawkins on saxophone -- how can you possibly go wrong? Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
