The Definitive Collection [Geffen]

The Definitive Collection [Geffen] (2006) more music like this

by Bing Crosby

The chief drawbacks to this album lie in its title and its marketing, not its contents. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Universal Music, repository of the largest catalog of vintage music in the world, embarked on several reissue programs with different price points aimed at different consumers. There was the 20th Century Masters/The ...

Pure Ella

Pure Ella (1950) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

In 1950, six years before her acclaimed Song Book series for Verve, Ella Fitzgerald recorded eight George and Ira Gershwin classics in intimate duets with the sensitive and lightly swinging pianist Ellis Larkins. Four years later she recorded a dozen more songs (this time by a variety of composers) with Larkins, and all 20 performances are ...

by Art Tatum

Classic Early Solos (1934-1937) contains solo performances of 20 songs Art Tatum recorded in the beginning days of his career. These invigorating performances demonstrate that Tatum was already considerably accomplished at this early stage, and the performances are continually breathtaking.

It Had to Be You

It Had to Be You (1994) more music like this

by Peter Nero

When Peter Nero served as musical director of the Philadelphia Pops Orchestra, his musical outlook wasn't unlike that of the sweet bands of the '20s, '30s, and '40s -- essentially, he was giving you orchestral pop that incorporated jazz and classical elements. Nero, like the old-time sweet bands, usually doesn't appeal to jazz purists. But then, ...

40th Anniversary Edition

40th Anniversary Edition (1999) more music like this

by The Skyliners

More than one person has called the Skyliners the greatest vocal group of all time, and although every act has their fans, that kind of praise is telling. The group's 1959 hit "Since I Don't Have You" is one of the most sublime, mood-setting singles of its era, and it's no wonder it has been so widely used in motion pictures. 40th Anniversary ...

The Nearness of You/John Gary Sings Your All-Time Favorite Songs

The Nearness of You/John Gary Sings Your All-Time Favorite Songs (2002) more music like this

by John Gary

Vocalist John Gary had much in common with the laid-back vocal styles of Perry Como, Andy Williams, and Jerry Vale. Unfortunately he never gained the reputation or financial stability they did. In the early '60s Gary covered a wide variety of music that appealed to the easy listening audience. Somehow he got lost in the shuffle when record ...

25 (1992) more music like this

by Harry Connick, Jr.

This 1992 CD is a throwback to Harry Connick's earlier sets for it mostly features the pianist-vocalist on a solo set of standards. Ellis Marsalis drops by to back Connick's vocal on "Stardust," Connick accompanies Johnny Adams' singing on "Lazybones," and "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" is a trio outing with tenor saxophonist Ned Goold ...

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 ...

An Evening with Mel Tormé (1996) more music like this

by Mel Tormé

This was singer Mel Tormé's last recording before he was stricken with a serious stroke. Remarkably, Tormé had gradually improved both as a singer and as a jazz improviser all throughout his sixties (his voice was in phenomenal shape), and he is heard on this live set, filmed for a television special, in peak form despite being 70. Joined by his ...

This Is Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, Vol. 1 (2001) more music like this

by Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra

The first of two volumes (both double LPs) in a 1971 series from RCA Victor, This Is Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, Vol. 1 provided a response to the many big-band recreations making the rounds during the late '60s and early '70s. The album presented proof of the Dorsey band's superiority simply by reissuing 20 of Dorsey's most famous recordings -- ...

Swing Time! The Fabulous Big Band Era 1925-1955 (1925) more music like this

by Various Artists

This three-CD box set does an excellent job of covering the big-band era through 66 recordings (by almost as many orchestras) owned by Columbia. The selections (programmed in chronological order), although emphasizing the 1934-45 era, also include 18 earlier and six later recordings. The 60 Columbia/Okeh sides, which include the real rarities, are ...

Billboard Pop Memories: 1940-1944 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

Billboard Pop Memories: 1940-1944 is a fine retrospective of the era in question -- although it contains only ten tracks, each is a gem, and for baby-boomers onward it's a solid introduction to the music of the war years. Highlights include such perennials as Glenn Miller's "In the Mood," Bing Crosby's "Swinging on a Star," Artie Shaw's "Stardust" ...

Here's to Ben: A Vocal Tribute to Ben Webster [Groove Note SACD Bonus Track] (2001) more music like this

by Jacintha

When you link your musical objective to a jazz icon like Ben Webster, certain expectations are created and, like here, rarely are these expectations met. Certainly, Jacintha sings songs Webster played and she sings them very nicely. But there's none of the raspy timbre in her voice that made Webster's saxophone immediately recognizable. Jacintha ...
