The Essential Glenn Miller [Bluebird/Legacy]

The Essential Glenn Miller [Bluebird/Legacy] (2005) more music like this

by Glenn Miller

This double-CD set should not be confused with the similarly named mid-'90s, 47-song compilation from BMG, which was good in its time but is outclassed by this entry in Sony Music's (now Sony BMG's) Essential series. Wisely ignoring a by-release-date-order approach, producer Barry Feldman has instead opted for a track lineup that, plain and simple ...

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 ...

Moonbeams

Moonbeams (1962) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

Moonbeams was the first recording Bill Evans made after the death of his musical right arm, bassist Scott LaFaro. Indeed, in LaFaro, Evans found a counterpart rather than a sideman, and the music they made together over four albums showed it. Bassist Chuck Israels from Cecil Taylor and Bud Powell's bands took his place in the band with Evans and ...

I Just Dropped by to Say Hello (1963) more music like this

by Johnny Hartman

The second Impulse! session for ballad singer Johnny Hartman followed his classic collaboration with John Coltrane. Hartman is heard in peak form throughout these 11 pieces, which include "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," "Sleepin' Bee," "Stairway to the Stars," and even "Charade." Tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet is on five of the songs, ...

Sonny, Please

Sonny, Please (2006) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

Most musicians would at least be considering the idea of retirement by the time they reach their mid-seventies, but most musicians aren't Sonny Rollins. After a five-year recording hiatus, Rollins returned from a Japanese tour and took his band into the studio to cut Sonny, Please. It's the first release on his own Doxy label, coming after a ...

The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection is exactly that, a four-disc box set of recordings hand-picked by Johnny Mathis, with an accompanying booklet filled with biographical information and his recollections about each song. The 86 selections are arranged in chronological order from Mathis' first recording, "When Sunny Gets Blue" from ...

Music for Lovers

Music for Lovers (2006) more music like this

by Dexter Gordon

Most of these nine tunes were recorded between 1962 and 1965, with one cut, the final one, taken from a very late date in 1985 with John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Billy Higgins, and Pierre Michelot. Over the course of his career in jazz, Dexter Gordon became one of its greatest balladeers. These tunes, all standards save one original, showcase ...

Dear Ella (1997) more music like this

by Dee Dee Bridgewater

Bridgewater's heartfelt tribute to Ella Fitzgerald is a resounding testament not only to the legendary jazz vocal icon, but also to Bridgewater's own faithful singing style, rich in Ella's tonal quality particularly on the high end. Her inflections are also quite natural, rather than self-effacing or forced. Some of the tracks vary in group size, ...

I'll Buy You a Star (1961) more music like this

by Johnny Mathis

The voice of Johnny Mathis is always distinctive and compelling but when blended with Nelson Riddle, whose magic made recordings by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, and so many others even more special, the results are extraordinary. I'll Buy You a Star puts Mathis' voice in a beautiful setting, something Linda Ronstadt would emulate ...

At Last (1990) more music like this

by Gene Harris With Scott Hamilton

This matchup by pianist Gene Harris and tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, in a quintet that also includes guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Harold Jones, is fun although it does not reach the excitement level one might expect. The ballads work best, while the stomps never really catch fire or explode. Harris and Hamilton always ...

Platinum Glenn Miller [RCA] (2003) more music like this

by Glenn Miller

After a long period of neglect, in 2001 RCA began doing right by Glenn Miller (via its rejuvenated jazz and swing arm Bluebird) with a four-disc set of 1943-44 performances by Glenn Miller & the Army Air Force Band. The 2002 compilation America's Bandleader was short and idiosyncratic but the following year, Platinum Glenn Miller offered the ...

A Twist of Lemmon/Some Like it Hot (2001) more music like this

by Jack Lemmon

Collector's Choice Music has released Jack Lemmon's two Epic releases from the 1950s onto a single CD. By coincidence released the week after Lemmon's death, Twist of Lemmon/Some Like It Hot is more than a novelty album. The new CD is a must-own for fans of the late, great actor. Lemmon developed a love for music around the same time he began ...

Priceless Jazz (1997) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

Priceless Jazz Collection is a budget-priced compilation that intends to give neophytes an affordable introduction to Ella Fitzgerald's Decca recordings. Although purists and collectors will find this sampler incomplete and inconsequential, it nevertheless gives new listeners a good idea of Fitzgerald's heyday by featuring such classic ...

A Handful of Stars (1992) more music like this

by Dave McKenna

This Dave McKenna solo piano session focuses on songs with a "star" theme to their titles, many of which are standards, though there are a few less familiar pieces included, too. The Brazilian pop song "Estrela, Estrela" serves as an effective if brief opening and closing theme to the CD. McKenna's lyrical side is frequently on display, especially ...

All My Life (2005) more music like this

by Barbara Rosene

On her first two recordings, Deep Night and Ev'rything's Made for Love, both made for the Stomp Off label, Barbara Rosene showed how comfortable and natural she is singing material from the 1920s. Rather than copying her predecessors, she sounds very much like herself. All My Life moves Rosene up to the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, displaying her ...

Complete Savoy Master Takes (1998) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

Does it get any better than this? The nearly two hours of music on this double CD set covers Erroll Garner's complete released output for Savoy from January 1945 -- where he was part of the Slam Stewart Quartet -- through the summer of 1949. All of it has been transferred off original acetate sources and very carefully CEDAR-ized to bring out the ...

Taken [DreamWorks] (2003) more music like this

Opening appropriately with Dinah Washington's "Stairway to the Stars," this collection of songs from the 2002 alien abduction-themed television miniseries Taken spans six decades of popular music. This hodgepodge of '50s novelty hits, Sheb Wooley's "Purple People Eater," and counterculture standards from the likes of Love, Bob Dylan, and the ...
