Compositions

Compositions (1990) more music like this

by Anita Baker

On Rapture and Giving You the Best That I Got, Anita Baker embraced a blend of technology and "real instruments" -- a definite contrast to the completely high-tech approach of so much '80s and '90s R&B. But on Compositions, producer Michael J. Powell moved even closer to a '70s-like approach to R&B -- recording Baker's vocals live in the studio, ...

Trilogy

Trilogy (1979) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

By the time the triple-record set Trilogy was released, Frank Sinatra had become somewhat of a recluse from the recording studio. An audacious, ambitious way to stage a comeback, each of the album's three records was conceived as an individual work, and each was arranged by one of Sinatra's major collaborators -- Billy May (The Past), Don Costa ...

Heavenly

Heavenly (1959) more music like this

by Johnny Mathis

Heavenly is Johnny Mathis' most successful regular album release, exceeded in his catalog only by the compilation Johnny's Greatest Hits and the seasonal Merry Christmas collection. It's not hard to understand why; this record is the epitome of Mathis' approach to music. Standards like "More Than You Know" and "Moonlight Becomes You" are joined by ...

Timeless Love

Timeless Love (2006) more music like this

by Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson hasn't had much use for making records since his records stopped selling in significant numbers, which happened as of the early '90s; after that, his only regular album has been 1999's Intimate. But Universal Music's New Door imprint exists for the purpose of making new recordings with veteran artists for whom the major label is ...

Remixed & Reimagined

Remixed & Reimagined (2007) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

The second in Columbia/Legacy's Remixed & Reimagined series, this time it's blues legend Billie Holiday who is reinvented for modern audiences. But how well does Lady Day translate to modern times and climes? Unlike Nina Simone, who opened the series, not so well.Holiday oozed emotion, while the music had a rawness around the edges, far removed ...

Toy Soldiers: The Best of Martika

Toy Soldiers: The Best of Martika (2005) more music like this

by Martika

Resurrecting Martika from teen idol pop obscurity, Eminem took Kanye West's style of production and appropriated large chunks of her "Toy Soldiers" chart hit for the "Like Toy Soldiers" single from his 2004 Encore record. This sent red flags around Sony BMG, which has now reissued 1997's More Than You Know greatest-hits compilation with different ...

Simply Streisand

Simply Streisand (1967) more music like this

by Barbra Streisand

After three albums related to television specials and one of French songs, Simply Streisand was Barbra Streisand's first "regular" new album since People three years earlier and her first new release of any kind in a year. (Before, her albums came regularly every six months.) By now, the singer was spending her time in Hollywood shooting movies, ...

The Ballad Style of Stan Kenton

The Ballad Style of Stan Kenton (1958) more music like this

by Stan Kenton

Stan Kenton's early arrangements set the tone for his orchestra, but through the years, he generally farmed out the writing chores to other talented arrangers who could move the big band forward. However, he did arrange occasional ballad charts, and this 1958 album (reissued on CD in 1997) showcases Kenton's writing. The Ballad Style of Stan ...

In 2002, S&P released Judy in Love/Alone, which contained two albums -- Judy in Love (1958, originally released on Capitol) and Alone (1957, also originally on Capitol) -- by Judy Garland on one compact disc. Tim Sendra, All Music Guide

Maysa

Maysa (1995) more music like this

by Maysa

Maysa showed a lot of promise on this self-titled debut album, which recalls the late-'70s and early-'80s output of soul divas like Chaka Khan, Alicia Myers and Phyllis Hyman, and sometimes shows quiet storm leanings. Most of the songs that the big-voiced, expressive Maysa turns her attention to are straight-up R&B, although she ventures into jazz ...

Recorded at the famous New York City restaurant on the 65th floor of Thirty Rockefeller Plaza, Live at the Rainbow Room features jazz vocalist Jane Monheit backed by a 31-piece orchestra conducted by Alan Broadbent along with a solid small jazz ensemble featuring, among others, pianist Michael Kanan, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Kenny ...

Like Someone in Love (1957) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald was accompanied by an orchestra arranged by Frank DeVol for this fine studio session; the CD reissue has been augmented by four selections recorded a month later. Most of the songs are veteran standards, Stan Getz's warm tenor helps out on four tunes, and -- although this is not an essential release -- her voice was so strong and ...

Martika (1989) more music like this

by Martika

Not just the Madonna wannabe she is often remembered as, Martika had songwriting skills and enough savvy to choose some of the best hooks of the '80s for her debut album. You'll find yourself singing these songs months after you've heard them. And that's a good thing. Her voice is thin and a bit limited, but she surrounds herself with producers ...

Everything's Coming Up Rosie (1977) more music like this

by Rosemary Clooney

Rosemary Clooney's first album for the Concord label set the standard for her work of the next 20 years. Long associated with middle-of-the-road pop music, Clooney really excelled in the jazz-oriented settings with the Concord All Stars. Although she does not really improvise, her very pleasing voice and subtle phrasing should appeal to most jazz ...

Just You, Just Me (1994) more music like this

by Dave Brubeck

It had been nearly 40 years since Dave Brubeck's last solo piano recording when he recorded this relaxed set. Brubeck sounds typically creative yet often wistful on the seven standards, four originals, and a "Tribute to Stephen Foster." This is a fine addition to Brubeck's extensive yet consistently satisfying discography. Scott Yanow, All Music ...

In a Sentimental Mood (1989) more music like this

by Dr. John

On Dr. John's first major-label effort, and first vocal studio album in ten years, he performs a set of pop standards including Cole Porter's "Love for Sale" and Johnny Mercer's "Accentuate the Positive." After starting out with a wild stage act and unusual costumes, Dr. John has evolved into a vocal stylist and piano virtuoso, which makes the ...

The Hawk Relaxes (1961) more music like this

by Coleman Hawkins

While Hawkins's recordings in the early '60s for Swingville tended to swing (not too suprisingly), his Moodsville dates were dominated by overly relaxed treatments of ballads. That is the case with this CD which finds the great tenor-saxophonist sounding alright on melody statements of such tunes as "When Day Is Done," "More than You Know" and ...

How Long Has This Been Going On? (1978) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan

This CD reissue features the great Sarah Vaughan in a typically spontaneous Norman Granz Pablo production with pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Louie Bellson. Sassy sounds wonderful stretching out on such songs as "Midnight Sun," "More Than You Know," "Teach Me Tonight," and "Body and Soul," among others. ...

And So Is Love (2005) more music like this

by Rita Coolidge

It seems increasingly common for once-popular artists to resurface years after their heyday. What's so interesting is how they resurface. Who would've imagined Rita Coolidge, like other popular '70s singers, re-emerging 30 years down the line as a singer of jazz classics? But Coolidge, like Debby Boone before her, has done exactly that, releasing ...

First Lady of Song (1949) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

This attractive three-CD set gives listeners an overview of Ella Fitzgerald's Verve recordings, although the inclusion of seven previously unissued cuts (in addition to 44 that are mostly available in more complete form elsewhere) will frustrate some completists. However the careful selection of representative performances along with the ...

Other than a pair of sessions for the French Barclay label during 1955-1956, this set (which has been reissued on CD) has pianist-vocalist Blossom Dearie's first recordings as a leader. Teamed up with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jo Jones, Dearie is heard in her early prime. Although her voice has always been an acquired taste, its sincerity and ...

Having displayed a knack in the past for reinterpreting both pop and jazz tunes, jazz vocalist Diane Schuur once again succeeds in bringing together an unexpected mix of compositions on Schuur Fire. Featuring the Caribbean Jazz Project, the album finds Schuur's clarion vocals melding nicely with vibist Dave Samuels' superb Latin jazz ensemble -- ...
