The Essential Rosemary Clooney (2004) more music like this

by Rosemary Clooney

The rub concerning Rosemary Clooney is that, like Kay Starr, she was an excellent jazz singer who was unfortunately chained to novelty material that, equally unfortunately, became popular and branded her as such in the eyes of the listening public. Given the chance, she excelled at any role given her: a big-band singer initially, a pop industry ...

Black Coffee and Other Delights (1952) more music like this

by Peggy Lee

This attractive two-CD set is an anthology of Peggy Lee's 1952-1956 period with Decca. Much of the music is outside of jazz and more in the genre of period pop and novelties but Lee sounds cheerful about the whole thing and swings lightly throughout. Some of the later material does give her a chance to show off her jazz chops and among the ...

Ladies of the Silver Screen (2002) more music like this

by K.T. Sullivan

On her fifth album, recorded live at the Grandel Theatre in St. Louis, K.T. Sullivan salutes female movie stars of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s by performing the songs they sang or, as she is at pains to point out, were heard to sing even if the voices were dubbed in by others. Such information is typical of her humorous, informed, and personal ...

Love Is the Thing (2002) more music like this

by Joyce Breach

A superior cabaret singer, Joyce Breach (who is accompanied by pianist William Roy) mostly sticks to interpreting little-known songs on this set. Four of the 18 numbers are of fairly recent vintage, while the others are generally obscurities (other than "Where Are You" and "Something to Remember You By"). The interpretations are straightforward, ...

Live at the London Palladium (1955) more music like this

by Rosemary Clooney

At the risk of voicing a cliché, Rosemary Clooney is delightful and delicious on this live album, from beginning to end. Although she was a little nervous over the informality of some English audience members, you'd never know it from what we hear here -- she sounds not only bold and confident, but she makes it seem easy, and she's got the ...

And the Angels Sing: Divas of the Big Band Era (2008) more music like this

by Various Artists

In 2008, Dynamic Entertainment put out a series of hefty reissue compilations variously touching upon boogie-woogie, Dixieland jazz, and a 74-track anthology devoted to Divas of the Big Band Era bearing the title And the Angels Sing. Finding blues empress Bessie Smith in the mix is a pleasant surprise, and her presence is provocatively ...
