The Benny Goodman Story [Capitol]

The Benny Goodman Story [Capitol] (1955) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

Consumer advisory: In 1955, Universal Pictures released The Benny Goodman Story, starring Steve Allen. Goodman himself played the music in the film (which consisted of re-recordings of his old hits), rounding up such former band members as Harry James, Martha Tilton, and Lionel Hampton, and a successful soundtrack LP was issued by Decca. But ...

Jazz

Jazz (1978) more music like this

by Ry Cooder

Beginning with his self-titled debut in 1970, Ry Cooder's records seemed to be as much history lesson as they were entertainment. Not because Cooder was trying to club you over the head with this stuff; he simply gravitated to great songs, no matter what the era or genre. Released in 1978, Jazz seems to be his first conscious attempt at a concept ...

The Judge at His Best (2001) more music like this

by Les Elgart

The sessions for these two Les & Larry Elgart albums, originally released on Columbia in 1959, didn't differ much, with a focus on standards like "Biding My Time," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," "Strike Up the Band," "That Old Black Magic," and "How Deep Is the Ocean (How High Is the Sky."

by Stephane Grappelli/David Grisman

One of the most exciting of the many Stephane Grappelli recordings, this live session (a straight CD reissue of the original LP) teams the veteran violinist with mandolist David Grisman's band, an ensemble that (in addition to its leader) boasts hot solos from Mike Marshall on violin, guitarist Mark O'Connor (who switches to violin to battle ...

The Fabulous Sidney Bechet

The Fabulous Sidney Bechet (1958) more music like this

by Sidney Bechet

As producer Michael Cuscuna explains in a helpful addendum, The Fabulous Sidney Bechet is a reissue of a reissue. The 1958 release combined two earlier 10" LPs recorded in New York in 1951 and 1953 during short visits by Bechet, who at that time was already living as an expatriate in France. This new package includes two previously omitted tracks, ...

The 1930's Recordings

The 1930's Recordings (2000) more music like this

The Mills Brothers recorded most of their popular material -- and all of their most innovative sides -- during the 1930s, making this five-disc JSP collection a treasure trove for fans of tight harmony vocal music. It may not be the right choice, however, for anyone but the most vigilant of listeners, since the group often recorded multiple ...

Big Band Blues (2001) more music like this

by Pete Fountain & the New Lawrence Welk Orchestra

Pete Fountain has been synonymous with Dixieland jazz since the late '50s, and it makes sense that he would record with the New Lawrence Welk Orchestra, since he originally rose to fame playing his music during special features on The Lawrence Welk Show between 1957 and 1959. This ghost band is not that similar to its predecessor, as it features ...

Verve Jazz Masters 8 (1994) more music like this

by Stan Getz

Vol. 8 of the Verve Jazz Masters series features Stan Getz in a wide variety of settings. Of the many recordings he did for the label, it would be hard to pin down his greatest tracks, but what is included on this collection has depth and substance, if not being altogether familiar. The CD is bookended by his most famous bossa nova hits, ...

16 Most Requested Songs (1992) more music like this

This is by no means the best hits compilation available (it is one of the most prevalent), but these pre-Decca recordings from the early '30s are interesting for those with a bit more knowledge of Crosby's career than most. Selections include "Dinah," "Brother Can You Spare a Dime," "Let's Put Out the Lights," "Did You Ever See a Dream Walking?," ...

Body and Soul (2000) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

This album features live recordings from 1937 and 1938, when Benny Goodman's quartet was one of the most popular bands in the world. Partially fueled by Goodman's appearances on national radio shows, the quartet's concerts caused near-riots among his legions of teenage fans. Early examples of his swinging style are heard here, on some of the first ...

Although it is implied with its title that this was the first collaboration between cornetist Ruby Braff and tenor-saxophonist Scott Hamilton, they had recorded a date back in December 1983 for the Swedish Phontastic label. Accompanied by Hamilton's regular quartet of the period (pianist John Bunch, guitarist Chris Flory, bassist Phil Flanigan and ...
