Gold (2005) more music like this

by Connie Francis

In the late '50s and early '60s, there were few bigger stars in the world of music than Connie Francis. Able to sing many different styles convincingly, from rock & roll to country, from lush adult ballads to Italian love songs and girl group sounds, Francis had hits galore and created a very impressive body of work. 2005's Gold rounds up 50 of ...

Adventures in Jazz

Adventures in Jazz (1961) more music like this

by Stan Kenton

This excellent outing by the 1961 edition of Stan Kenton's orchestra has one classic (Bill Holman's arrangement of "Malaguena"), a superior solo by altoist Gabe Baltazar on "Stairway to the Stars," a feature for Ray Starling's Mellophonium ("Misty"), a good workout by veteran tenor Sam Donahue on "Body and Soul," Holman's reworking of "Limehouse ...

Horns of Plenty, Vol. 3

Horns of Plenty, Vol. 3 (2003) more music like this

by Stan Kenton

The third of three volumes of double CDs put out by the Stan Kenton-oriented Tantara label is the most exciting of the trio. The first disc features the 1962 Kenton Mellophonium Orchestra playing at its best, mostly playing standards and a few numbers from West Side Story in addition to Gene Roland's "The Blues Story," Dee Barton's "Waltz of the ...

Horns of Plenty, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this

by Stan Kenton

The second of three double CDs in this series has a disc from Stan Kenton's 1961 Mellophonium Orchestra (heard during two different engagements) and a concert from the University of North Texas Neophonic Orchestra under the direction of Leon Breeden in 1966. Ironically the Kenton performances are mostly of standards and are concise while the ...

Leap Frog

Leap Frog (2007) more music like this

by Texas Christian University Jazz

Many college bands around today sound quite professional in their ensembles, although their soloists tend to be erratic and justifiably immature since they are relative youngsters. While the soloists are much better than usual on this two-CD set, Leap Frog is a typical outing by a college orchestra. Actually several bands are represented since the ...

Finger Style Guitar/Stringin' Along With Chet Atkins

Finger Style Guitar/Stringin' Along With Chet Atkins (1998) more music like this

by Chet Atkins

If you look at Chet Atkins' album discography, it appears as if Stringin' Along With Chet Atkins and Finger Style Guitar follow each other in release in 1956, which may explain why they are paired together on this two-fer release issued 42 years later, if not why they are presented in reverse order. But the two albums do not both represent the ...

Rhapsody in Rhythm

Rhapsody in Rhythm (1962) more music like this

by Ray Conniff

Rhapsody in Rhythm is one of several albums in Ray Conniff's "In Rhythm" series. The very concept of the album reveals Conniff's sense of humor and calculated middlebrow approach to music-making as he pairs the complex, linear melodies of rhapsodies with the pop and youth orientation suggested by "rhythm." Conniff regarded Rhapsody in Rhythm as a ...

King Plays Some Aces/Cugat in Spain (2003) more music like this

by Xavier Cugat

The Best of Stan Kenton [Capitol]

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 ...

Latin Fever (1958) more music like this

by Jack Costanzo

Typical of most Liberty products of the era, Latin Fever features a gorgeous, if perfectly lewd, jacket, which of course has no particular relevance to the musicians. Costanzo gets to reprise "The Peanut Vendor" ("El Manisero"), which was one of his three big spotlight numbers under Stan Kenton. Better are the five originals, however, including a ...

With the Danish Radio Big Band (2003) more music like this

by Stan Kenton

This CD is a bit unusual, for it features Stan Kenton in Copenhagen without his orchestra, lending his repertoire and his piano playing to the Danish Radio Big Band. This performance from 1966 was important in gaining recognition for the orchestra, and it also showed that the power of Kenton's music could be transferred to a completely different ...

Originally issued in 1958 and 1961, respectively, each of the two-dozen tracks has a seamless continuity dominated by the romantic theme including "Love Is a Many ...
