Golden Greats

Golden Greats (2002) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

Dutch reissue label Disky's three-CD, 74-track Golden Greats compilation of Ella Fitzgerald recordings runs more than three and half hours, which is about the best thing you can say for it. The double jewel box lists song titles and accompanying performers in small print on the back, and that's it for annotations; there isn't even a CD booklet. So ...

The Best of the Big Bands [1990 Sony] (1989) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

Best of the Big Bands is a solid 16-track collection that contains a smattering of Goodman's familiar work, including "Riffin' the Scotch," "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)," "Serenade in Blue," "It's Only a Paper Moon," "Symphony," "Blue Skies" and "A Gal in Calico." Despite the high quality of the music, many of his biggest hits are missing, ...

No More Ouzo for Puzo

No More Ouzo for Puzo (1988) more music like this

by Dave McKenna Quartet with Gray Sargent

Despite the ambiguous meaning of the title cut (Puzo is for a jazz fan, Charlie Puzo, but "ouzo" is never defined), the music on this quartet set is easy to understand. Pianist Dave McKenna teams up with guitarist Gray Sargent (a new discovery at the time), bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Jimmie Smiths for memorable renditions of a few standards ...

Sinatra: Soundtrack To The CBS Mini-Series

Sinatra: Soundtrack To The CBS Mini-Series (1992) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

This is the two-disc soundtrack to a 1992 television miniseries about the life of Frank Sinatra. There is no musical scoring, and there are no re-recordings. Rather, this is a collection of 30 songs recorded between 1931 and 1979, most by Sinatra, although Bing Crosby, Benny Goodman, and Billie Holiday also make appearances. What is notable about ...

Jump, Georgie, Jump

Jump, Georgie, Jump (1940) more music like this

by Georgie Auld

This CD features the talented but underrated saxophonist Georgie Auld (heard on tenor, alto and soprano) during three different periods. When Artie Shaw temporarily fled from success to Mexico in late 1939, Auld took over his big band and tried his best to keep it together. In Jan. and Feb. 1940, the remnants of the Shaw Orchestra recorded ten ...

The Keith Ingham New York 9, Vol. 1 (1994) more music like this

by Keith Ingham

This, the first of two CDs, features pianist Keith Ingham and a variety of top mainstream players heard in different combinations, exploring mostly obscurities from the 1920s and '30s. Such tunes as Alex Hill's "Madame Dynamite," "I'm Gonna Stomp Mr. Henry Lee," "Too Busy," "Learn to Croon," and "Mood Hollywood" are not exactly recorded on a ...

The Radio Years 1940 (2001) more music like this

by Bob Crosby & His Orchestra

Bob Crosby's 1940 big band is showcased on two radio broadcasts heard on this CD. At the time, Crosby's orchestra was just beginning to de-emphasize their roots in Dixieland (which in retrospect was a mistake), although this CD does include two versions of "Jazz Me Blues" (one unfortunately cut off) by the Bobcats and worthwhile versions of "Over ...

The Early Years, Pt. 2 (1939) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

GRP on this two-CD set reissues 42 of the 69 recordings that Ella Fitzgerald cut during a two-and-one-half-year period. Not as valuable as the European Classics "complete" series, this set does give one a good introduction to the classic singer's music during a time when she led Chick Webb's Orchestra after the drummer's death. Highlights include ...
