Collection: 1947-1972 (1998) more music like this

by Johnny Hartman

Just where Johnny Hartman's name ends up in the pantheon of great jazzy pop singers is still left open to debate. But his talents and mastery of a lyric come to the fore on this marvelous two-CD set of tunes cherry-picked from his long, if not particularly prolific, career, leaving no doubt about his prodigious talents. Hartman went through label ...

Jo + Jazz

Jo + Jazz (1960) more music like this

by Jo Stafford

The closest Stafford ever came to being a jazz singer. This early '60s release had instrumental touches and a jazz tone, and Stafford sang with more energy and less gimmickry. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

For Trane

For Trane (1972) more music like this

by Johnny Hartman

This CD combines together parts of two sessions recorded in Tokyo by the warm ballad singer Johnny Hartman. Although titled For Trane, the vocal recital only has three songs associated with John Coltrane ("My Favorite Things," "Violets For Your Furs" and "Nature Boy") and the majority of the selections are actually taken from an unrelated session ...

The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions [Box Set]

The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions [Box Set] (2006) more music like this

by Miles Davis

What you get on Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions is a rather unwieldy four-disc box set (in a longbox; remember those?) containing the complete recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet with Red Garland, Paul Chambers, John Coltrane, and Philly Joe Jones recorded for Prestige, and remastered and repackaged according to chronology rather than ...

Last Recordings: Rare and Unreleased

Last Recordings: Rare and Unreleased (1954) more music like this

by Artie Shaw

The first of two double-CD sets contains a healthy share of the recordings the clarinetist made with his final Gramercy Five, a unit that included pianist Hank Jones, either Tal Farlow or Joe Puma on guitar and usually Joe Roland's vibes. Unlike his longtime competitor Benny Goodman, Shaw felt perfectly comfortable with younger modernists. In fact ...

Politely! (1958) more music like this

by Keely Smith

Joining the Louis Prima band at the age of 16, Keely Smith's main role was to be the foil for Prima's often loony antics on recordings and at live performances, like on their big hit "That Old Black Magic." The result was that she was given little opportunity to sing ballads. That ended when she and Prima signed on with Capitol Records, which had ...

Trio Classics, Vol. 1 (2004) more music like this

by Shirley Scott

Although the title gets you geared for a compilation, in fact all 16 of the tracks on this CD came from a single session on May 23, 1958. It was Scott's first session as a leader, in fact, yielding her two albums Great Scott! and Shirley's Sounds, and everything from those two LPs is on this single-disc reissue.
