Everything I Have Is Yours: The Best of the M-G-M Years

Everything I Have Is Yours: The Best of the M-G-M Years (1991) more music like this

by Billy Eckstine

This two-CD set improves upon the original two-LP package by adding 14 more songs. The pop side of Billy Eckstine was emphasized during his period with MGM and many of these selections (including hit versions of "Everything I Have Is Yours," "Blue Moon," "Caravan," "My Foolish Heart," and "I Apologize") feature his warm baritone backed by string ...

Ella and Louis [Master Edition]

Ella and Louis [Master Edition] (1956) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong make for a charming team on this CD. Accompanied by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Buddy Rich, Fitzgerald and Armstrong perform 11 standards with joy and swing. There are touches of Satch's trumpet, but this is primarily a vocal set with the emphasis on tasteful ...

The Best of Santo & Johnny

The Best of Santo & Johnny (1997) more music like this

by Santo & Johnny

This features "Sleepwalk" and others by the twosome who carved a niche for themselves by bending notes like rubber bands. Mellow mood music that will fit many sets and situations. Besides many originals, they also delight on popular tunes like "A Thousand Miles Away," "Over the Rainbow," and "Crying in the Chapel." Andrew Hamilton, All Music ...

Lady in Autumn: The Best of the Verve Years

Lady in Autumn: The Best of the Verve Years (1946) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

There are many jazz lovers, even dedicated ones, who cannot afford to part with the 150 dollars or so that the ten-disc Complete Billie Holiday on Verve commands, so this two-disc distillation will do very nicely as a detailed summary of her troubled, soulful Verve period. Set out in chronological order with a mighty overreaching sweep, this mini ...

20th Century Piano Genius

20th Century Piano Genius (1950) more music like this

by Art Tatum

This double album was taped at a private party in 1956, featuring the amazing Art Tatum on solo piano. Tatum, who died the following year, never did decline, and he is in prime form throughout this highly enjoyable and frequently exciting set of standards. There are no real romps a la "Tiger Rag" but the 27 performances contain plenty of ...

The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong (1997) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong from Verve contains a selection of 15 duets the two jazz legends recorded for the label over the years. Clearly, this set isn't of particular interest to hardcore collectors, since they'll already own much of the material, but as a sampler targeted at casual fans, this is quite nice indeed, since it ...

That Old Feeling

That Old Feeling (1987) more music like this

by Cleo Laine

More elaborate, mid-'80s session that accents Cleo Laine's interpretative abilities. It showcases both her immaculate technique and her ability to build and create moods, pace songs, and embellish lyrics. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

The Very Best of Bert Kaempfert

The Very Best of Bert Kaempfert (1995) more music like this

by Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra

Bert Kaempfert may have signed and lost the Beatles, but this CD is a reminder that he never lacked for hit records of his own, and had his own influence on popular culture around the world. The Very Best of Bert Kaempfert isn't quite a comprehensive collection of Kaempfert's hits, but it will have special resonances to listeners of a certain age ...

Late Night Guitar

Late Night Guitar (1980) more music like this

by Earl Klugh

This is the perfect setting for acoustic guitarist Earl Klugh, playing strong melodies (including such standards as "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "Laura," "Mona Lisa" and "Two for the Road") while joined by strings and several horns in an orchestra arranged and conducted by David Matthews. As usual for a Klugh session the guitarist sticks mostly to ...

Sings for Two in Love (And More)

Sings for Two in Love (And More) (1954) more music like this

by Nat King Cole

Nat King Cole Sings For Two In Love was Nat King Cole's first album to be specifically for the new 12-inch LP format. Like Frank Sinatra, with whom he shared a record company and a conductor, Nat King Cole made a thematic album with Sings for Two in Love, in this case a set of 12 romantic ballads. (The original version, released on a 10" LP in ...

Hand-Crafted Swing (1991) more music like this

by Howard Alden with George Van Eps

The master of the seven-string guitar, George Van Eps, joins the rising young jazz guitarist Howard Alden, which works perfectly in spite of a 45-year difference in age and different approaches to the guitar. Van Eps' chordal style meshes perfectly with Alden's single note lines in part because of the younger man's study of the senior's recordings ...

Anita Sings the Most (1957) more music like this

by Anita O'Day

Anita O'Day recorded many rewarding albums in the 1950s when her voice was at its strongest, and this collaboration with the Oscar Peterson Quartet (comprised of pianist Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer John Poole) may very well be her best. Not only is the backup swinging, giving a Jazz at the Philharmonic feel to ...

The Very Best of John Gary (1997) more music like this

by John Gary

The best of crooner John Gary is collected on this 20-cut anthology, which runs the gamut from show tunes to romantic ballads and country favorites over the course of songs including "My Foolish Heart," "Once Upon a Time" and "If Ever I Would Leave You." Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

The Heart of a Woman (1999) more music like this

by Etta James

Heart of a Woman is a great idea for an album. Etta James chose 11 love songs from her favorite female singers -- Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn, and Carmen McRae -- augmenting the album with a new version of her signature song, "At Last." She has recorded several of these songs before (including Alice Cooper's "Only Women Bleed," ...

Playing by Heart (2000) more music like this

by John Barry/Chris Botti/Chet Baker

In his 1996 review of the indie film Caught, movie critic Rex Reed paid the ultimate compliment to trumpeter Chris Botti -- who wrote the score and whose horn graced the soundtrack -- by comparing the young upstart's smoky style to that of a young Chet Baker. Botti has since gone on to great success in smooth jazz by combining a laid-back demeanor ...

King of the Tenors (1953) more music like this

by Ben Webster

This 1953 date matched Webster with such peers as alto saxophonist Benny Carter, trumpeter Harry Edison, and pianist Oscar Peterson for a series of elegant yet soulful and exuberant small group dates. With no cut longer than four and a half minutes, the players didn't have time for excess statements or overkill; they had to quickly get to the ...

The Classic Singles (2003) more music like this

by Nat King Cole

If you add up all the songs Nat King Cole placed in the various Billboard singles charts -- including not only the pop and R&B charts, but also the adult contemporary and even country ones, as well as the lists of discs "bubbling under" the main pop chart -- the total comes to a remarkable 123, and that's not including the many repeat appearances ...

Other than four songs apiece released by Onyx and Verve, the CD reissue of Easy Like, Vol. 1 has guitarist Barney Kessel's first sessions as a leader, performances which launched his longtime association with the Contemporary label. Augmented by two "new" alternate takes, the set features Kessel in boppish form with quintets in 1953 and 1956 ...

The Complete Verve Studio Master Takes (2005) more music like this

One of the first box sets for completists only, 1993's ten-disc The Complete Billie Holiday on Verve 1945-1959 was considered nearly a necessity by anyone interested in jazz vocals. Verve returned to the catalog 12 years later with a much tighter, much smarter collection: The Complete Verve Studio Master Takes. Encompassing six discs, the set ...
