Breakin' Away

Breakin' Away (1981) more music like this

by Al Jarreau

Released in 1981, Breakin' Away is not only a great follow-up to This Time, it all but perfected the effort. With an amazing batch of songs, producer/artist chemistry, and top-level players, Breakin' Away became the standard bearer of the L.A. pop and R&B sound. "Closer to Your Love" comes off as a tougher, more confident version of the songs from ...

Concert by the Sea

Concert by the Sea (1955) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

Concert by the Sea was arguably the finest record pianist Erroll Garner ever made, and he made many -- a few outstanding -- good recordings. But this live recording (September 19, 1955) with his trio (Eddie Calhoun, bass; Denzil Best, drums) presented a typical Garner program; it was a mixture of originals, show biz, and pop standards delivered ...

Very Best of Phoebe Snow

Very Best of Phoebe Snow (2001) more music like this

by Phoebe Snow

This is an improvement on the similarly titled The Best of Phoebe Snow, from the early 1980s, in that it has virtually everything from the earlier anthology, but has sixteen songs, where the previous compilation has but ten. The emphasis is still on her mid-to-late-1970s work with Columbia, though it does include some tracks from other labels and ...

The Columbia Hits Collection

The Columbia Hits Collection (2001) more music like this

by Jo Stafford

Not long after Jo Stafford's arranger (and future husband) Paul Weston moved from Capitol to Columbia in 1950, she followed him, preferring to work with an understanding producer (surely their budding relationship played a part as well). During the first half of the '50s, Stafford continued gracing the Hit Parade with the same balance of sedate, ...

Collection

Collection (1986) more music like this

by Diane Schuur

Released in 1989, Collection sums up Diane Schuur's first five GRP albums, a period when she achieved a level of acclaim that tailed off somewhat in the '90s. What has been gathered together here is often very impressive, her rich, full voice keening over carefully wrought, beautifully recorded lush backdrops (with real or electronic strings), ...

L.A. Is My Lady

L.A. Is My Lady (1984) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra's final studio album of the '80s -- arguably the last true original album Sinatra recorded -- was an uneven but surprisingly enjoyable set that tried to adapt the singer's style to contemporary pop standards. Under the direction of arranger/producer Quincy Jones, the album incorporated more synthesizers and slick production ...

The Best of Phoebe Snow

The Best of Phoebe Snow (1982) more music like this

by Phoebe Snow

Best of Phoebe Snow contains most of the singer/songwriter's biggest hits from the '70s, as well as several key album tracks that make this a good introduction to her work. Among the highlights are "Poetry Man," "Shakey Ground, " "Love Makes a Woman, " "Two Fisted Love," and "Never Letting Go." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Classikhan

Classikhan (2004) more music like this

by Chaka Khan

Although the misleading title doesn't indicate it, Classikhan can be seen as a follow-up to the Echoes of an Era album Chaka Khan made with her all-star cast of jazz musicians in 1982. The disc is neither a best-of nor a bunch of re-recordings. Instead, it's a set of jazz standards and traditional pop that she recorded with the London Symphony ...

Yes I Can! The Sammy Davis Jr. Story

Yes I Can! The Sammy Davis Jr. Story (1999) more music like this

by Sammy Davis, Jr.

It's hard to believe that a Sammy Davis Jr. box set retrospective was not released until 1999. One simple reason for the delay is that Davis' discography is a licensing nightmare, so the initial triumph of Warner Archives/Reprise/Rhino's four-disc Yes I Can! The Sammy Davis, Jr. Story is that it brings together material controlled by Time Warner, ...

Music for Loving (1995) more music like this

by Ben Webster with Strings

Combining two string albums by Ben Webster and one from Ellington sideman Harry Carney, the two-disc Music With Feeling delivers over two hours' worth of incredible ballad interpretations. Webster, of course, made his name with many an after-hours gem, and he predictably shines here amidst the lush yet tasteful orchestral charts penned by Ralph ...

A Classy Pair (1979) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald with Count Basie

This studio album matches together Ella Fitzgerald and the Count Basie Orchestra 16 years after they first recorded together. Basie's sidemen are unfortunately restricted in the Benny Carter arrangements to backup work but Basie has a few piano solos and Fitzgerald is in good voice and in typically swinging form. Highlights include "Just a Sittin' ...

Greatest Hits & Rare Classics (1991) more music like this

by Kim Weston

All her singles (including many of her B-sides) are on this collection, though some of her best duet work with Marvin Gaye is missing ("It's Got To Be a Miracle (This Thing Called Love)" is one such example). Had Weston got the major promotional push that many of her counterparts at Motown received, she would have been a much bigger star than she ...

How Long Has This Been Going On? (1978) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan

This CD reissue features the great Sarah Vaughan in a typically spontaneous Norman Granz Pablo production with pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Louie Bellson. Sassy sounds wonderful stretching out on such songs as "Midnight Sun," "More Than You Know," "Teach Me Tonight," and "Body and Soul," among others. ...

Yakety Sax [Bear Family] (1994) more music like this

by Boots Randolph

Tenor saxophonist Boots Randolph released numerous instrumental country-pop albums throughout the '60s and '70s. Randolph's choice of instrumentals were geared toward both the country and easy listening audiences. This Bear Family compilation focuses on Randolph's early recordings, featuring "Hey Elvis," "Blue Guitar," and "Estrellita," and his ...

The Jaki Byard Experience (1968) more music like this

by Jaki Byard

Pianist Jaki Byard and the wondrous Roland Kirk (here switching between tenor, clarinet, and manzello) were two of the few jazz musicians who could play in literally every jazz style, from New Orleans to bop and free form. If only they had recorded a history-of-jazz album. Fortunately, they did meet up on a few occasions, including this brilliant ...

It Looks Like Snow (1976) more music like this

David Rubinson's production of Phoebe Snow on the 1976 release It Looks Like Snow is an overpowering collection of pop-jazz-funk-folk that puts this amazing vocalist's talents in a beautiful light. Whether it's the Bowen/Bond/Hazel blues classic "Shakey Ground," which Elton John, Etta James, and so many others have explored, or her exquisite ...

by Ray Brown Trio w/Gene Harris

This album is important as an early milestone in pianist Gene Harris' second career. Harris, who had led the popular Three Sounds in the 1960s, had been living in obscurity in Boise, ID, for several years before he was urged by bassist Ray Brown to come to the West Coast for some recording sessions. Harris became a permanent member of Brown's ...

A Swingin' Night at Birdland (1962) more music like this

by Joe Williams

In 1961, after six years as one of the main attractions of Count Basie's orchestra, Williams (with Basie's blessing) went out on his own. One of his first sessions was this live recording, cut at Birdland with a strong quintet that featured trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and Jimmy Forrest on tenor. Williams mostly sings standards and ballads, but ...
