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 ...

How Long Has This Been Going On?

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.

Blossom Dearie (1956) more music like this

by Blossom Dearie

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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

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 ...

First Lady of Song

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 ...

Like Someone in Love

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 ...

Ella and Oscar

Ella and Oscar (1974) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald with Oscar Peterson

For this Pablo set (reissued on CD), Ella Fitzgerald is heard on half of the program in duets with pianist Oscar Peterson and for the remainder in trios with Peterson and bassist Ray Brown. In general the performances are memorable (particularly "How Long Has This Been Going On," "More than You Know," "Midnight Sun" and "April in Paris") with the ...

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 ...

Complete Prestige Recordings (2000) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk

Thelonious Monk was only with Prestige from 1952-1954, which explains why Fantasy's The Complete Prestige Recordings contains only three CDs. But Monk's Prestige output is noteworthy and generally rewarding, if imperfect at times. Not everything on The Complete Prestige Recordings is essential, but for the serious Monk collector, its rewards are ...

Keepin' Time (1994) more music like this

by George Van Eps

Guitarists George Van Eps (a veteran of the 1930's) and Howard Alden (36 at the time of this recording) had made three prior CD's before cutting a fine quartet date with bassist Michael Moore and drummer Jake Hanna. The two guitarists can easily be told apart for Van Eps (the inventor of the seven-string guitar) plays some of the most beautiful ...

The Tatum Group Masterpieces, Vol. 6 (1956) more music like this

by Art Tatum

For this CD, the sixth volume of Art Tatum's eight group recordings for Norman Granz in the 1950s, the remarkable pianist is teamed with bassist Red Callender and drummer Jo Jones. Due to the presence of his sidemen, Tatum is slightly restricted as far as changing keys and tempoes at will, but his playing is still often stunning. Highlights of the ...

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, ...

Never Never Land (2000) more music like this

by Jane Monheit

Jane Monheit, at 22 years old, has made a stunning debut with the help of some of the finest players in the world: Kenny Barron, Ron Carter, Lewis Nash, David "Fathead" Newman, Hank Crawford, and Bucky Pizzarelli. From her first entrance on the supremely swinging "Please Be Kind," Monheit makes clear that she's the boss, even in such illustrious ...

All My Tomorrows (2003) more music like this

by Crystal Gayle

While it's true that Crystal Gayle has never stopped recording, she has virtually disappeared from the public eye. One of the most gifted singers ever to come out of country music, Gayle successfully crossed over into the mainstream because of her signature phrasing and sophisticated material. In fact, since the 1970s, she has transcended all ...

Professional Dreamer (1994) more music like this

by Kenny Rankin

Kenny Rankin sings like Chet Baker would have if Baker had had a voice. His tone is high (Rankin's speaking voice is actually fairly low) and he has a subtle, cool style. It is a bit of a surprise, but Rankin (whose previous output has been in pop music) is actually a fine jazz singer. He always sticks to the lyrics when performing veteran ...

The digital marketplace contains a large number of Billie Holiday compilations with the phrase "Lady Sings" in the title. The one you are looking for is surprisingly inexpensive and intelligently presented. The Proper label specializes in affordably priced box sets that contain enough music -- usually around 100 tracks -- to impart a strong ...

Sylvia Is! (1965) more music like this

by Sylvia Syms/Kenny Burrell

Sylvia Syms was one of the top cabaret singers, uplifting a wide variety of interesting songs throughout her career. For this unusual pianoless date she is heard with either Kenny Burrell or Buck Pizzarelli on guitar, bassist Milt Hinton, drummer Osie Johnson and occasionally percussionist Willie Rodriguez. The emphasis is on Brazlian songs and ...

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 ...

Timeless (2002) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

This Savoy jazz compilation features previously issued tracks by piano great Erroll Garner. While this is a nice single-disc budget collection of Garner's work in the 1940s and '50s, it by no means represents the scope of his career. Collectors need not bother. Matt Collar, All Music Guide
