42nd Street [Original Broadway Cast]

42nd Street [Original Broadway Cast] (1980) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

In a reversal of usual practice, producer David Merrick turned to the 1933 movie musical for this stage musical, which uses Harry Warren and Al Dubin's venerable songs -- such as "You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me," "We're in the Money," "Lullaby of Broadway" -- and the chorus-girl-becomes-a-star storyline. The result was new and exciting, ...

If I'm Lucky

If I'm Lucky (1977) more music like this

by Zoot Sims with Jimmy Rowles

Tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims recorded quite a few albums with pianist Jimmy Rowles during his Pablo years; all are recommended. Rowles assisted Sims in coming up with obscurities to interpret, and this CD reissue is highlighted by such little-performed songs as "If I'm Lucky," "Shadow Waltz," "Gypsy Sweetheart" and "I Wonder Where Our Love Has Gone ...

42nd Street [2001 Broadway Revival Cast]

42nd Street [2001 Broadway Revival Cast] (2001) more music like this

by 2001 Broadway Revival Cast

It took 42nd Street 47 years after the appearance of the movie musical in 1933 to become a hit Broadway musical in 1980, even though the storyline is a tribute to the Great White Way, the quintessential backstage story of a musical producer and the chorus girl who becomes a star. It may have been the impossibility of recreating choreographer Busby ...

Fifty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett

Fifty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett (2004) more music like this

by Tony Bennett

When the first version of this impressive box set was originally released in 1991 (as Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett), it put the capstone upon Tony Bennett's remarkable return to prominence by looking back at a legacy that had been overshadowed by that of the colossus Sinatra. The collection methodically traced his career from his ...

Sketches on Standards

Sketches on Standards (1953) more music like this

by Stan Kenton

This LP contains six Bill Russo arrangements, five from Stan Kenton, and one by Lennie Niehaus. The repertoire features many songs not associated with Kenton (such as "Sophisticated Lady," "Pennies from Heaven," and "Over the Rainbow"), but the inventive yet melodic treatments certainly sound like the Kenton band. The main soloists are altoist Lee ...

Shadows 'N Dreams

Shadows 'N Dreams (1990) more music like this

by Dave McKenna

Nine of the selections on this solo piano CD by the great swing pianist Dave McKenna have "dream" in their titles (such as "I Had the Craziest Dream," "You Stepped Out of a Dream," etc.) while the remaining five are built around the word "shadow." All of the thoughtful performances on McKenna's relaxed set are taken slow to medium-tempo, including ...

Too Marvellous for Words: The Top Fifty of His Many Greatest Hits [2002]

Too Marvellous for Words: The Top Fifty of His Many Greatest Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this

by Bing Crosby

The two-disc, 50-track collection Too Marvellous for Words boasts virtually all of Der Bingle's massive hits of the 1930s and '40s, beginning in 1931 (his first chart-topper, "Out of Nowhere") and ending in 1948 (his last, "Now Is the Hour"). And though producer Geoff Milne ignores the usual standby for compilation track listings (straight ...

Restless (2007) more music like this

Guitarist Joe Cohn is joined by pianist Hod O'Brien, alto saxophonist Dmitry Baevsky, bassist Dennis Irwin, and drummer Chuck Riggs on Restless, a small jazz band outing grounded in the past. Five of the songs, including "Two Marvelous for Words," the title track, and "Shadow Waltz" date back to the '30s, and another, "I Wonder Where Our Love Has ...

In Hollywood (1933-1935) (1995) more music like this

by Dick Powell

Not to be confused with Dick Powell in Hollywood, the double-LP compilation released by Columbia Records in 1966, Columbia/Legacy's 1995 single-CD/cassette compilation of Dick Powell recordings In Hollywood (1933-1935) nevertheless draws upon the same body of recordings, originally made for Brunswick Records. Powell cut 28 sides for Brunswick ...

42nd Street/Guys and Dolls (1998) more music like this

by Forty Second Street Singers

Intersound's variant on 42nd Street and Guys and Dolls is performed by the 42nd Street Singers, an okay but not overly professional group. Though they give stirring renditions to the bevy of classic songs (including "I've Never Been in Love Before," "You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me," "Shuffle Off to Buffalo"), there's just a bit lacking ...

Lullaby of Broadway: The Music of Harry Warren [RCA Victor] (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Perhaps the most prolific Hollywood song composer of the 1930s and '40s, Harry Warren is represented here in a sampling of some of his biggest hits, primarily from the '30s, including "You're Getting to Be a Habit With Me," "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby," "Jeepers Creepers," and "I Only Have Eyes for You," in recordings made between 1924 ...

Brass Menagerie: Big Band Brass of the Sixties (1992) more music like this

Brass Menagerie delivers just what the title promises, collecting classic brass-band versions of standards like "Frenesi," "When the Saints Go Marching In," and "Isn't It Romantic?" Performances from the Jerry Fielding Orchestra, the Mel Davis Orchestra, the Jim Tyler Orchestra, and the Hugo Montenegro Orchestra round out this collection of brassy ...

Nice Work If You Can Get It... (1996) more music like this

by The Hi-Lo's

This doesn't have anything from their most popular albums (made for Columbia in the late 1950s), drawing from LPs they cut for Starlite between 1954 and 1956 (as well as their 1953 debut EP for Trend). The Hi-Lo's had already hit their artistic stride in the mid-1950s, however, and this album is jammed with their energetic adaptations of standards ...

This two-fer CD combines the Hi-Lo's' 1955 album, The Hi-Lo's, I Presume, with Under Glass, which was released the following year. These LPs were originally released on Starlite and had been out of print until being reissued in 2003 on Universal U.K. This pleasant vocal set includes standards like "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top," "Jeepers ...

ASV/Living Era packaged this (mostly) chronological collection of early Bing Crosby material, including all but one of his 22 chart-topping hits of the '30s. During the decade, Crosby refined his youthful approach to jazz singing and transformed himself from the plaintive high tenor of his 1931 breakthroughs "Out of Nowhere" and "Just One More ...
