The Best of Dean Martin [EMI Box]

The Best of Dean Martin [EMI Box] (1997) more music like this

by Dean Martin

British EMI's The Best of Dean Martin is a three-disc, 48-track collection that contains all of the usual suspects, plus some nice rarities, but Capitol's 40-track, double-disc collection The Capitol Years is a better bargain, offering a better selection of songs for nearly the same price.

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 ...

Too Marvellous for Words: The Top Fifty of His Many Greatest Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this

by Bing Crosby

The two-disc, 50-track collection Too Marvellous for Words boasts virtually all of Der Bingle's massive hits of the 1930s and '40s, beginning in 1931 (his first chart-topper, "Out of Nowhere") and ending in 1948 (his last, "Now Is the Hour"). And though producer Geoff Milne ignores the usual standby for compilation track listings (straight ...

Ballads (2001) more music like this

by Kim Richmond

Back in the '50s and '60s, it wasn't uncommon for straight-ahead jazz artists to record albums containing nothing but ballads -- a practice that A&R people encouraged because they realized that romantic mood music had a lot of commercial appeal. But regrettably, such sessions aren't as prevalent as they once were. Many straight-ahead jazz artists ...

Love Story/Piano & Pen (2000) more music like this

by Dave Pell Octet & Dick Katz

On this double CD, Love Story by the Dave Pell Octet is the dull next-door neighbor to pianist Dick Katz's swinging quartet on Piano & Pen. The Pell Octet, essentially a unit from within Les Brown's band, is the purveyor of pleasant, skillfully arranged and executed music. Its predecessors, like those of Brown's band, are the sweet bands of the ...

Ultimate Coleman Hawkins (1998) more music like this

by Coleman Hawkins

A true connoisseur, Sonny Rollins concentrates almost entirely upon the year 1944 as he selects Coleman Hawkins tracks for this volume in Verve's Ultimate series. In choosing such a narrow time frame, undoubtedly Rollins was paying effusive tribute to the Hawk recordings that he grew up with. Also 1944 was a year of transition for Hawkins, ...

Part of Verve's Jazz in Paris series, Jazz in Paris: Cognac Blues features various tracks recorded by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie during the '50s in France. All of the material included in the series is stellar and makes for excellent listening. The tracks are not necessarily rare, but are often ignored in favor of the more popular late-'40s ...

Queen of the Blues [ASV/Living Era] (2004) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

More befitting the "Queen" than the "Blues" in the title, this Living Era compilation includes many of the jazz standards Dinah Washington recorded during the postwar years, the material that -- more than her jukebox R&B hits -- catapulted her into the firmament of vocal stars along with Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. It sets the story well, ...

This double-disc set containing the complete Blue Star sessions by Dizzy Gillespie is so named for the small imprint they were available on, which is now owned by Universal. All but five of these cuts appeared first as 78s featuring the great trumpeter and personality in front of a combined French jazz and opera orchestra arranged and conducted ...

Greatest Hits [Primo] (2006) more music like this

by Les Paul & Mary Ford

It's virtually impossible to imagine modern music without the contributions of Les Paul. Not only was he a brilliant jazz guitarist with no fear of going pop or country, he literally made the template for how a good electric guitar should be made when he designed his famous Les Paul model for Gibson Guitars. Add in the fact that he single-handedly ...

What A Wonderful World (1973) more music like this

This ten-track budget compilation draws from Jerry Vale's Columbia Records albums of the 1960s. There are a few Italian numbers and a few lesser standards, but none of Vale's hits or better known recordings are included, and the selection seems practically random. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
