Champagne Charlie

Champagne Charlie (1978) more music like this

by Leon Redbone

From the opening track, "Champagne Charlie," to the dazzling finale, "T.B. Blues," Leon Redbone presents an introspective collection of blues and big band melodies in timeless fashion, a rare feat because of its release date in 1978. The record was highly acclaimed and regarded as the purest of jazz and classic blues by a remarkable legend and ...

Swingin' with Dino

Swingin' with Dino (2002) more music like this

by Dean Martin

There are by now enough Dean Martin hits compilations, so Capitol Records, which administers virtually Martin's entire catalog, must figure. And yet the label has an incentive to try to continue to exploit that catalog; thus this is a collection of up-tempo material that ranges from one of Martin's first Capitol sessions, back in 1948 ("Powder ...

Precious Friend

Precious Friend (1982) more music like this

by Arlo Guthrie/Pete Seeger

Recorded in late summer of 1981, Precious Friend, the second of Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger's live collaborations, is pretty much what you would expect. Seeger is his usual folksy self, leading the crowd through a series of folk tunes ranging from the traditional African chant "Wimoweh (Mbube)" to Harry Chapin's "Circles," while Guthrie mixes his ...

Love Letters from Ella

Love Letters from Ella (2007) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

Observing what would have been Ella Fitzgerald's 90th birthday, Concord and its Starbucks partner raided Concord's Pablo vaults and patched together this somewhat brief (40-minute) collection of outtakes and virtual collaborations, hoping for another synergetic success. Ella is in fine late-period (1973-1983) form (some shakiness in the later ...

20 (1988) more music like this

by Harry Connick, Jr.

On a set of mostly unaccompanied piano solos and vocals, Harry Connick, Jr., shows a great deal of potential. His renditions of 11 standards are highlighted by collaborations with singer-organist Dr. John on "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans" and especially a memorable vocal duet with Carmen McRae on "Please Don't Talk About Me When I ...

Forever Cool

Forever Cool (2007) more music like this

by Dean Martin

The concept of the artificially created duets collection -- in which newly recorded vocal or instrumental performances by an array of big-name contemporary artists are spliced with existing tracks from another artist, living or dead -- is hardly a new one. Now it's Dean Martin's turn: Capitol Records, Martin's home throughout most of the 1950s, ...

A Perfect Match

A Perfect Match (1979) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald with Count Basie

Although Count Basie gets cobilling with Ella Fitzgerald on this concert recording from the 1979 Montreux Jazz Festival, the veteran pianist is only on the final of the 11 songs. His big band, along with pianist Paul Smith, backs the veteran singer for a set of standards and, although Fitzgerald was beginning to fade, she could still hint strongly ...

The Best of the Big Bands

The Best of the Big Bands (1990) more music like this

by Sammy Kaye

Here's a pure nostalgic trip down memory lane for many, as Sammy Kaye leads his syrupy big band and vocal choirs though 16 songs that reflect the overly romanticized era of the mid-1900s. The unfortunate thing about Kaye's sound is that he is drowned out by the singers and string arrangements, so you never really get to hear his faux Benny Goodman ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ...

Tammy Grimes/The Unmistakable Tammy Grimes (2004) more music like this

This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print LPs by vocalist Tammy Grimes, Tammy Grimes and The Unmistakable Tammy Grimes, both originally issued on Columbia in 1962 and 1963, respectively. Highlights among the 24 tracks include several standards, including "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Time After Time," and "Bye Bye ...

Ballads (2002) more music like this

by Derek Bailey

It's not as though Derek Bailey hadn't given a hint or two before. On his wonderful Drop Me Off at 96th (on Scatter), he tantalized listeners with a couple of bars of "I Didn't Know What Time It Was." Even those who might have preferred that he stood steadfast and true to the non-idiomatic free improv "tradition" might have wavered slightly. Still ...

Let Me Entertain You (1996) more music like this

by Ann-Margret

No one would argue that Ann-Marget's principal entertainment skill was as a vocalist. So it may seem a bit finicky to point out that this well-packaged, 21-track retrospective of recordings from the early and mid-'60s actually is not the best anthology of her music. That honor belongs to The Many Moods of Ann-Margret (on the Australian Raven ...

Flappers, Vamps & Sweet Young Things (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

Valuable as an index of theatrically inclined or jazz-addled female pop vocalists, this rosy little compilation mingles famous and relatively obscure singers in a sequence of pleasantly old-fashioned performances recorded from 1924 to 1931. Jane Green, Helen Kane, Annette Hanshaw, the Brox Sisters, Ruth Etting, Zelma O'Neal, and Esther Walker come ...

All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology (1993) more music like this

by Jerry Lee Lewis

The Sun material stops 12 songs into Rhino's double-disc, 42-track collection, All Killer, No Filler: The Jerry Lee Lewis Anthology. Since Jerry Lee's legacy is built on his scintillating sides for Sun -- they're among the fiercest rock & roll ever recorded -- that could seem to be a problem, but the Killer didn't stop making great music when he ...

The Incomparable Ethel Waters (2003) more music like this

by Ethel Waters

A major and influential force on other singers and the first African-American jazz singer to cross over to white audiences, Ethel Waters had a very significant career. This single disc barely scratches the surface of her productive career with 17 selections, mostly from 1925-26, 1931-35 and 1940. Surprisingly, there are only two selections from ...
