From This Moment On

From This Moment On (2006) more music like this

by Diana Krall

Returning to the large ensemble sound of her 2005 success, Christmas Songs, pianist/vocalist Diana Krall delivers a superb performance on 2006's From This Moment On. Although having received a largely positive critical response for her creative departure into original singer/songwriter jazz material on 2004's The Girl in the Other Room, here ...

Pearl

Pearl (1971) more music like this

by Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin's second masterpiece (after Cheap Thrills), Pearl was designed as a showcase for her powerhouse vocals, stripping down the arrangements that had often previously cluttered her music or threatened to drown her out. Thanks also to a more consistent set of songs, the results are magnificent -- given room to breathe, Joplin's trademark ...

For Sentimental Reasons

For Sentimental Reasons (1986) more music like this

by Linda Ronstadt

For Sentimental Reasons was the last traditional pop album Linda Ronstadt recorded with Nelson Riddle, and it's virtually indistinguishable from its two predecessors -- it has the same sweeping arrangements, and her voice remains adequate, not spectacular. That said, For Sentimental Reasons is notable since it contains a high percentage of ...

The Essential Janis Joplin

The Essential Janis Joplin (2003) more music like this

by Janis Joplin

Columbia has managed to squeeze an impressive, perhaps excessive, number of compilations out of Janis Joplin's relatively slim body of recordings. With this two-CD set, The Essential Janis Joplin, the label's at it again, though it's a good one to get if you don't want to collect all the Joplin releases, and certainly don't want to get the ...

Janis

Janis (1993) more music like this

by Janis Joplin

This three-CD box set is the most thorough and valuable retrospective of Janis Joplin's career. Besides including all of her most essential recordings with and without Big Brother & the Holding Company, this 49-song package features quite a few enticing rarities; 18 of the tracks were previously unissued. These include a 1962 home recording of the ...

My Romance

My Romance (1990) more music like this

by Carly Simon

On her second album of pop standards, Carly Simon was a little less interested in the lovelorn songs that had filled 1981's Torch, although she did soldier through "By Myself" and "When Your Lover Has Gone." For the most part, the theme was romantic, with classics like "My Funny Valentine" and "Bewitched" handled in Simon's sexy, plaintive style. ...

Pearl [Legacy Edition]

Pearl [Legacy Edition] (2005) more music like this

by Janis Joplin

After the live Cheap Thrills, Pearl is undeniably Janis Joplin's studio classic, and her final recording, released posthumously. She departed the earth at the very top of her game creatively. The album was recorded with a less-is-more approach -- the explosive horn section so prevalent on Kozmic Blues was replaced by a rootsier, more organic ...

Jazz: Red, Hot and Cool

Jazz: Red, Hot and Cool (1954) more music like this

by Dave Brubeck

Recorded during three different stays at New York's Basin Street, Jazz: Red, Hot and Cool is making its first appearance in the U.S. on CD. It documents -- with the addition of two additional performances that were previously unissued -- the original Brubeck quartet in its final years. In 1956 Joe Morello would replace Joe Dodge, and in 1958 ...

I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! (1969) more music like this

by Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin's solo debut was a letdown at the time of release, suffering in comparison with Big Brother's Cheap Thrills from the previous year, and shifting her style toward soul-rock in a way that disappointed some fans. Removed from that context, it sounds better today, though it's still flawed. Fronting the short-lived Kozmic Blues Band, the ...

Verve Jazz Masters 17

Verve Jazz Masters 17 (1964) more music like this

by Nina Simone

Nina Simone's inclusion in Verve's Jazz Masters series is a bit suspect; there was a lot of jazz in Simone, true, but wasn't there quite a bit of pop and soul as well, not to mention some blues? Anyway, this is an excellent survey of her mid-'60s work, with 16 tracks spanning 1964 to 1966 that find Simone at her most versatile and assured. Quite a ...

Box of Pearls: The Janis Joplin Collection (1999) more music like this

by Janis Joplin

A limited-edition five-CD box set comprising both albums that Janis Joplin made with Big Brother & the Holding Company (Cheap Thrills and Big Brother & the Holding Company), both of her solo albums (I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! and Pearl), and a bonus EP with five previously unreleased recordings. Each of these four albums includes ...

The Collection (2000) more music like this

by Janis Joplin

For the second time, Sony issued the three best albums in Janis Joplin's catalog -- I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama, Pearl, and Big Brother & the Holding Company's Cheap Thrills -- in a slipcased three-CD box; the difference is that this latter package contains the remastered versions of those three albums, which were released individually ...

Off Broadway (2000) more music like this

by Jerry Orbach

26-year-old Jerry Orbach had recently made the leap from off-Broadway to Broadway stardom when he recorded his first (and, as it turned out, his only) solo album in three days in July 1962. But he was intent on looking back at the earlier stage of his career and illuminating a somewhat forgotten part of musical theater by filling the album with ...

Just in Time (1998) more music like this

by Oliver Jones

Recorded live in Toronto in late 1997, this double-disc set finds Jones and his trio in good form on a host of well-worn standards and a few unusual choices (like a nice "Waltzing Matilda"). While Jones' piano approach may be too heavily ornamented for some listeners, with extensive keyboard runs throughout, the music is welcoming rather than ...

A Garland of Red (1956) more music like this

by Red Garland Trio

Thirty-three at the time of this, his first recording as a leader, pianist Red Garland already had his distinctive style fully formed and had been with the Miles Davis Quintet for a year. With the assistance of bassist Paul Chambers (also in Davis's group) and drummer Art Taylor, Garland is in superior form on six standards, Charlie Parker's ...

Sings Rodgers & Hart (1996) more music like this

by Dawn Upshaw

Dawn Upshaw proves to be an exception to the general rule that opera singers can't sing popular music on this enjoyable effort. She gets considerable help from show tune expert Tommy Krasker, the producer, and from some excellent arrangers and orchestrators, who come up with interesting ideas to give new interpretations to old Rodgers & Hart ...

3, 4, 5: The Verve Small Group Sessions (1955) more music like this

by Benny Carter

Has there ever been a more consistent performer in jazz history over a longer period of time than Benny Carter? The classic altoist, who had fully formed his sound by the early '30s (he first recorded in 1927), has not altered his style much in the past 65 (and counting) years. The music on this Verve reissue CD features Carter in three settings: ...

Judy Garland made her most commercially successful recordings for Capitol Records between 1955 and 1964, and that is the period covered in this three-disc box set. (Garland earlier recorded for Decca, MGM, and Columbia, and later for ABC; this material was not available for inclusion.) At Capitol, the former star of musical films was treated as a ...
