Charlie Parker with Strings
When producer Norman Granz decided to let Charlie Parker record standards with a full string section (featuring Mitch Miller on oboe!), the purists cried sellout, but nothing could be further from the truth. There's a real sense of involvement from Bird on these sides, which collect up all the master takes and also include some live tracks from ...

by
Faron Young
While this budget double-disc of hits is fine and has many of Faron Young's hit singles, it's far less definitive than Capitol's double-disc set The Complete Capitol Hits of Faron Young, or the Country Music Foundations' Live Fast, Love Hard: Original Capitol Recordings, 1952-1962. The AIM marketing recordings also fare less well in sound quality ...

The Concert Sound of Henry Mancini

by
Henry Mancini
The Concert Sound of Henry Mancini is not a live album. Mancini embarked on a national tour before the album was recorded, for which he wrote new arrangements of signature and popular tunes organized into thematic medleys. The concerts were well-received, but instead of releasing a live recording from the tour, Mancini assembled a 70-piece ...

by
Johnny Costa
Johnny Costa's obscurity is due to his decision to spend his career playing background piano for many years on the children's show Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. This CD was his first unaccompanied solo session, and it makes one wonder what took so long. Nearly 70 at the time, Costa proves to be a virtuoso whose florid technique could be mistaken for ...

With 22 tracks split between Rosemary Clooney, Helen O'Connell, and June Christy, this set features three of the classiest jazz and pop singers of the 1950s, and although it might have been better had each of the singer's songs been grouped together (it's all mix and match here), it's still a pleasant collection. Highlights include Christy's "Love ...

Looking In
(1998)
more music like this
by
Mike Denny
A nice solo album from guitarist Mike Denny. Very light, warm jazz emerges from his fingers with a series of classic ballads from the songbook. Partially due to the choice of ballads, the tone remains particularly calm throughout the proceedings, with some flights of imagination, but only subdued flights. The subtlety of Denny's playing is a key ...

Carmen McRae
Much of the music on this excellent (but obscure) Carmen McRae LP has not been reissued, and certainly not in complete form. Accompanied by an orchestra arranged and conducted by either Tadd Dameron or Jimmy Mundy, McRae performs both standards and obscurities, ballads and medium-tempo tunes. The big band is pretty anonymous but fine in ensemble ...

A reissue of the original 1952 Clef recording session, this is one of the few instances in Charlie Parker's later career where he played with something other than a small bebop group. Under contract at the time to Clef's Norman Granz, Parker was encouraged by the label to make recordings that took him out of his familiar settings and put him in ...
