Frank Sinatra

by
Miles Davis Quintet
Although they had made a few slightly earlier cuts that would later be issued on Columbia, the first full-length album by the Miles Davis Quintet is quite intriguing in that it gives one a look at tenor saxophonist John Coltrane when he still had a hesitant style. This audiophile CD reissue has the same music that is currently available on an ...

more music like this
by
Perry Como
So Smooth from 1955 and We Get Letters from 1957 were Perry Como's first two albums to be recorded for the 12" LP format, so Collectables Records' pairing of the two on a single CD is appropriate. At the time, the album market was viewed as being entirely different from the singles market, so these recordings do not feature Como's hit singles of ...

by
Ray Conniff
Ray Conniff was a remarkable artist who received too little respect for his innovations, and it isn't hyperbole to note that his dreamy, echoey arrangements -- which placed the voices alongside rather than in front of the instruments -- laid a philosophical foundation for dream pop and other fusions of conventional pop songcraft with ethereal ...

Fletcher Henderson's Unrecorded Arrangements for Benny Goodman

by
Bob Wilber & the Tuxedo Big Band
Fletcher Henderson was always Benny Goodman's favorite arranger. He contributed many charts for BG's big band from 1934 up until 1947, and Goodman revived quite a few of the arrangements in later years. However along the way, the clarinetist did not have the opportunity to record all of Henderson's charts for his band, which numbered 300-400. Many ...
