Stan Kenton
This recording is a ballad date by Stan Kenton's 1959 orchestra.

Best known among the soloists is altoist Charlie ...

Sylvia Syms Sings

by
Sylvia Syms
Superb 12-song long-player, derived from Sylvia Syms' October 1952 10" debut LP on Atlantic, and her 1954 Songs by Sylvia Syms. Delightful from the opener, a scintillating rendition of "Paradise," highlighted by Syms' dizzying interaction with Al Cohn's tenor sax, Danny Bank's baritone sax, and Don Elliott's trumpet. The songs tend to alternate ...

Sarah Vaughan
Vol. 18 of the Verve Jazz Masters series features Sarah Vaughan for the most part singing bop and swinging pretty hard. Though not known at all as a Verve artist (only At Mister Kelly's), these tracks were mined from her dates in the '50s and '60s for Mercury/EmArcy and Roulette. Of the 16 selections, there's a good mix of small-group sessions ...

Stephanie Nakasian
Stephanie Nakasian has long been a well-respected singer, but one who has not been given half the recognition that she deserves. However, this CD is quite definitive, a tribute to June Christy. Nakasian had been a major hit at a West Coast jazz convention/festival a few years earlier, singing songs associated with Christy and sometimes sounding ...

Plays the Benny Carter Songbook
(1990)
more music like this
by
Marian McPartland
Two aspects uplift this Marian McPartland CD above most songbooks. Benny Carter is much better-known as an altoist and an arranger than as a composer, so his compositions tend to be quite fresh since they have been underplayed through the years. Also, the fact that Carter himself performs on the majority of these selections (which also include ...

Kathy Jenkins & Nick Levinovsky Big Band
The title of Kathy Jenkins' maiden album is a little misleading in that a trio is in on about half the tracks with the remaining cuts left to the big band. Both groups are well led by Jenkins' husband, Russian-born pianist Nick Levinovsky. All the bases are touched on this hour-long session from high-voltage, swinging big band backing Jenkins to ...

Charlie Ventura: 1947-1949
(2001)
more music like this
by
Charlie Ventura
The main reasons to investigate the recordings of Charlie Ventura are of course his wonderful handling of the tenor saxophone and the excellent ensembles he led. Ventura's recordings were predominately instrumental in 1945 and 1946. As the decade drew to a close, singers dominated the recording industry and many bandleaders chose to feature more ...
