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. ...

16 Most Requested Songs

16 Most Requested Songs (1992) more music like this

by Doris Day

16 Most Requested Songs contains some, but not all, of Doris Day's biggest hits. Consequently, it's more of a sampler for casual fans than a definitive retrospective, but it still highlights some of her very best performances, including "A Bushel and a Peck," "You Won't Be Satisfied," "Till the End of Time," "In Love in Vain," and "Black Hills of ...

Lush Life

Lush Life (1984) more music like this

by Linda Ronstadt

What's New illustrated that Linda Ronstadt was no longer interested in contemporary pop, and since it was a surprise success, there was no reason not to repeat the formula on Lush Life. Working again with Nelson Riddle, Ronstadt runs through several pop standards -- "When I Fall in Love," "Sophisticated Lady," "Falling in Love Again," "It Never ...

Lady in Autumn: The Best of the Verve Years

Lady in Autumn: The Best of the Verve Years (1946) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

There are many jazz lovers, even dedicated ones, who cannot afford to part with the 150 dollars or so that the ten-disc Complete Billie Holiday on Verve commands, so this two-disc distillation will do very nicely as a detailed summary of her troubled, soulful Verve period. Set out in chronological order with a mighty overreaching sweep, this mini ...

Cool Struttin' [Bonus Tracks] (1958) more music like this

by Sonny Clark

Recorded in 1958, this legendary date with the still-undersung Sonny Clark in the leader's chair also featured a young Jackie McLean on alto (playing with a smoother tone than he had before or ever did again), trumpeter Art Farmer, and the legendary rhythm section of bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, both from the Miles Davis ...

Greatest Hits (1958) more music like this

by Doris Day

Although a might slim, the 12-track set includes most of the key songs ("Secret Love," "Que Sera, Sera," "Teacher's Pet") and spotlights Day at her vivacious best. Featuring fine ...

You Can Depend on Me: The Complete Recordings, Vol. 1

You Can Depend on Me: The Complete Recordings, Vol. 1 (2001) more music like this

by Bea Wain

Bea Wain is mostly remembered as Larry Clinton's girl singer, whose "My Reverie" was to become a classic from the big-band era. But she recorded a string of songs with Clinton that made the Top Ten hit list. Tired of the long road trips and the low salary, Wain left Clinton in 1938, signing up with RCA Victor. In the first of a projected multi ...

Sketches on Standards (1953) more music like this

by Stan Kenton

This LP contains six Bill Russo arrangements, five from Stan Kenton, and one by Lennie Niehaus. The repertoire features many songs not associated with Kenton (such as "Sophisticated Lady," "Pennies from Heaven," and "Over the Rainbow"), but the inventive yet melodic treatments certainly sound like the Kenton band. The main soloists are altoist Lee ...

Kenton in Hi-Fi (1956) more music like this

by Stan Kenton

After years of big band experimentation, Stan Kenton seemed to settle into a more grounded groove on 1956's In Hi-Fi. To his credit, Kenton did keep things swinging before, even in the midst of high brow bombast like the string-laden, 39 piece Innovations in Modern Music orchestra and numerous jazz meets Stravinsky projects. This uncanny balance ...

Music for Loving (1995) more music like this

by Ben Webster with Strings

Combining two string albums by Ben Webster and one from Ellington sideman Harry Carney, the two-disc Music With Feeling delivers over two hours' worth of incredible ballad interpretations.

Tenor Madness (1956) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins Quartet

At a time when he was a member of the legendary Clifford Brown/Max Roach sextet, Sonny Rollins was still the apple fallen not too far from the tree of Miles Davis. Tenor Madness was the recording that, once and for all, established Newk as one of the premier tenor saxophonists, an accolade that in retrospect, has continued through six full decades ...

The Best of Stan Kenton [Capitol] (1995) more music like this

by Stan Kenton

Between 1943-1961, the Stan Kenton Orchestra paved the way for a progressive style of big-band jazz that marked a departure from previous groups. For many, they epitomized their generation of jazz music, with Duke Ellington's bands and an emerging Gil Evans being clear exceptions. As a centerpiece for the Capitol label, Kenton's hitmaking machine ...
