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.

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").

Ballads

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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
