The Best of Pete Fountain [GRP]
(1961)

by
Pete Fountain
Although this CD draws its 22 selections from clarinetist Pete Fountain's best period (his years on the Coral label), the selections picked are sometimes a bit eccentric. Fountain is heard playing Dixieland with some of his bands, but is also joined by -- choral groups and occasional strings; no personnel listing or even recording dates are ...

by
Booker T. & The MG's
There's not a note or a nuance out of place anywhere on this record, which was 35 of the most exciting minutes of instrumental music in any category that one could purchase in 1962 (and it's no slouch four decades out, either). "I Got a Woman" is the single best indicator of how superb this record is and this band was -- listening to this track, ...

Classics in the Key of G

by
Kenny G
Some jazz critics may point to Classics in the Key of G as proof of Kenny G's lack of jazz substance, but it really is proof of how well he makes instrumental pop albums. Yes, Kenny G has reworked a predictable set of pop classics, from "Summertime" to "The Look of Love," to fit his signature smooth sound, but that should be expected from an album ...

by
Herb Alpert
The unbelievable sales success of this record is a testament to Herb Alpert's extraordinary ability to keep his ear to the ground -- no doubt aided by his position as vice-chairman and co-owner of A&M Records -- and adapt to the times. At a time when A&M's Janet Jackson was blazing up the charts, Alpert journeyed to Minneapolis and cut some tracks ...

Best of Acker Bilk [GNP]

by
Acker Bilk
Another European Trad (traditional jazz) man, Acker Bilk, updates (I think). We'll give the chap credit for an original tone (clarinet), but with the strings and non-jazz material there is little else here...There were ten tracks, including a medley of his hit Stranger on the Shore.

Collectables' Up on the Roof/Under the Boardwalk contains two original early albums from the Drifters on one disc. Up on the Roof features Ben E. King on lead vocals; Under the Boardwalk features Johnny Moore on lead vocals. Both albums aren't just hits with filler, like many R&B albums of their era -- while they're not as strong as the justly ...

If Rhino's Very Best of the Drifters is a fine R&B snack, then All-Time Greatest Hits & More: 1959-1965 is a three-course gourmet meal with dessert built on the same ingredients. Forget about the higher price and the fact that 40 songs might seem to be more Drifters than most casual listeners would want -- All-Time Greatest Hits & More: 1959-1965 ...

Warm and Willing/Newest Hits

more music like this
by
Andy Williams
As welcome as Collectables' modestly priced two-fer CD reissues of Andy Williams' original LPs are to Williams fans, the label's decisions about which albums to couple are sometimes curious. Here is a good case in point. Warm and Willing was Williams' third Columbia Records LP, recorded in the spring of 1962. It consists largely of pop standards ...

It's Trad, Dad

by
Various Artists
It's Trad Dad! compiles 20 songs that document the strange British trad jazz scene of the late '50s and early '60s. For some strange reason, the sounds of jazz as played by the originators from New Orleans were a huge deal and scads of trad jazz groups flooded Britain. The most famous of the lot was Acker Bilk, who had a big hit in 1962 with the ...

Five years after their previous recording, the Firehouse Five Plus Two came together for one last record date, celebrating their 20th anniversary as a group. This CD reissue has two numbers from 1966 ("Mame" and "Winchester Cathedral"), but is otherwise from 1969. Rather than emphasizing standards (only "High Society" qualifies as a true dixieland ...

This 150-minute, two-disc set is one of the best overviews of classic reggae available. Volume 1 focused on ska and rock steady tracks from the 1960s, and this one consists primarily of material from the '70s and '80s, reggae's classic period. Though Trojan has a reputation for mediocre production quality and shady business dealings with its ...

With only so many saxophone timbres to go around, many of the lesser known players searching for their own identity must keep the rest of their presentation unique while uncovering a sonic dynamic all their own. Case in point, Bryan Savage, who on first listen still brings Richard Elliot's rich, soulful tenor to mind. Savage is slowly improving ...

Pete Fountain
Although this Laserlight release does list the correct personnel and songs (which puts it a cut above some of the other Laserlight budget sets), there is no mention on this 1998 CD that the music is from 1977 and that it was formerly put out as a First American LP. The liner notes only deal with Fountain's early days (pre-1960) and are therefore ...
