Skylark

Skylark (1956) more music like this

by Annie Ross

This little-known set (reissued on CD) from 1956 features singer Annie Ross four years after she originally recorded "Twisted" but a year before the formation of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. Based in London at the time, Ross avoids scatting and vocalese in favor of conventional swinging and jazz-oriented interpretations of standards. Backed ...

Swing Along with Me

Swing Along with Me (1961) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Recorded with Billy May, Sinatra Swings was Frank Sinatra's first straight swing album for Reprise Records. In terms of content and approach, the record is remarkably similar to his final Capitol swing effort, Come Swing with Me. In fact, Capitol thought the album, originally titled Swing Along with Me, was so close in its sound and title that ...

Songs I Like to Sing!

Songs I Like to Sing! (1960) more music like this

by Helen Humes

One of the high points of Helen Humes' career, this Contemporary set (reissued on CD) features superior songs, superb backup, and very suitable and swinging arrangements by Marty Paich. Humes' versions of "If I Could Be With You," "You're Driving Me Crazy," and "Million Dollar Secret," in particular, are definitive. On four songs, she is backed by ...

The Complete Verve Studio Master Takes (2005) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

One of the first box sets for completists only, 1993's ten-disc The Complete Billie Holiday on Verve 1945-1959 was considered nearly a necessity by anyone interested in jazz vocals. Verve returned to the catalog 12 years later with a much tighter, much smarter collection: The Complete Verve Studio Master Takes. Encompassing six discs, the set ...

The Paris Concert

The Paris Concert (1978) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson with Joe Pass and N.H.O. Pedersen

Pianist Oscar Peterson made so many recordings for Norman Granz's Pablo label (and was so consistent) that while all of his records are recommended, it is difficult to pick out any one as the definitive or essential release. This two-CD set (a straight reissue of the original two-LP release) features Peterson with an all-star trio, a unit ...

by Dean Martin

This British two-fer combines Dean Martin's fourth (This Time I'm Swingin'!, 1960) and second (Pretty Baby, 1957) regular studio albums onto one CD.

Voice of the Southland

Voice of the Southland (1997) more music like this

by Gene Austin

During the second half of the '20s, Gene Austin was the most popular singer in the U.S., his airy tenor and jaunty style generating dozens of hits with Roaring Twenties anthems like "Yes Sir! That's My Baby" and "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue," though his most popular songs were the ballads "My Blue Heaven" and "Ramona." Compiler/producer Peter ...

Live at the Roosevelt Grill, Vol. 2 (1970) more music like this

by Bobby Hackett

For a few months in 1970, cornetist Bobby Hackett led one of the finest working groups of his career, a quintet with co-leader Vic Dickenson on trombone, pianist Dave McKenna, bassist Jack Lesberg and drummer Cliff Leeman.

Something's Gotta Give

Something's Gotta Give (2006) more music like this

by Sammy Davis, Jr.

At age 23, Sammy Davis, Jr., undertook his first-ever recording session for Capitol Records on January 13, 1949, which means that on January 1, 2000, his recordings began to go out of copyright in Europe, where there is a 50-year copyright limit on recordings.

The Ultimate Billie Holiday (1997) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

Shirley Horn compiled The Ultimate Billie Holiday, a 16-track selection of her best-known songs that offers an excellent introduction to her Verve recordings. Although purists and collectors will have little use for this set, it suits the purposes of neophytes and curious listeners quite well. Among the highlights are "Lover, Come Back to Me," ...

Cool Too (1999) more music like this

by Count Basie Bunch

Although this reissue was released under the name the Count Basie Bunch, only a few of the selections actually employ Count Basie. Rather, Cool Too is a collection of excellent 1954-58 small-group recordings that are led by such Basie sidemen as trumpeters Buck Clayton & Joe Newman and drummer Jo Jones (not to be confused with Philly Joe Jones, ...

Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1990) more music like this

by Sammy Davis, Jr.

When it comes to music, some people fail to see the bigger picture. They will become fixated on the part without adequately examining the whole. In Sammy Davis, Jr.'s case, some people will point to his hit "The Candy Man" (a cute, lighthearted novelty number) and assume that everything he did was a cute novelty number. But Davis was multi-faceted ...

Originally the initial release from the Master Jazz label, this fine session was reissued on a New World CD in 1997.
