Close Your Eyes

Close Your Eyes (1995) more music like this

by Kurt Elling

For his debut recording, Chicago vocalist Elling pushes the envelope, challenging listeners and his musicians with beat poetry, ranting, and his Mark Murphy-ish singing. There's quite a bit of dramatist/actor in Elling, although the romantic in him is also pretty prevalent. Acting much like a tenor saxophonist, Elling can wail and shout, expound ...

No One Is Alone

No One Is Alone (2007) more music like this

by Barbara Cook

Barbara Cook, a Broadway star in the 1950s and '60s and one of the major cabaret singers since the '70s, was nearing 80 when she recorded No One Is Alone. Her very clear and friendly voice, however, could easily pass for someone's half her age. Accompanied by a drumless rhythm section, she performs 15 songs (including a pair of two-song medleys) ...

Broadway to Hollywood -- And Back (2006) more music like this

by Mary Martin

Mary Martin went back and forth between the West Coast world of movie entertainment and the East Coast world of the legitimate stage several times before finally settling in New York in the mid-'40s to be a major Broadway star for the next two decades.

This Bud's for You (1984) more music like this

by Bud Shank

Originally known as a cool-toned altoist and occasional flutist, Bud Shank's playing from this recording forward surprised many listeners. There was a forcefulness and a passion to his alto solos (he had given up the flute) that had not been heard that much from him previously. Assisted by pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Al ...

Look No Further (2000) more music like this

by Diane Hubka

This is Washington, D.C. based Diane Hubka's second album for The Netherlands' A-Records. Even more than on her first album, she avoids the classic standards favored by many contemporary singers.

by Polly Podewell

Like Rosemary Clooney, Polly Podewell does not improvise all that much but she uplifts every song she sings.

Bird on the Wire (2005) more music like this

by Joan Crowe

It was only a matter of time before the versatile New York club singer Joan Crowe translated her live show to disc, and though listeners aren't given glimpses of her much heralded humor, her soothing, crystal vocals do quite enough to enrapture even the hardest jazz cynic. Her sweet renditions of "The Way You Look Tonight" and the cleverly merged ...
