It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook

It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook (2002) more music like this

by Rod Stewart

It's the kind of concept that seems brilliant on paper: revive the career of one of the great vocalists of the rock era by having him sing the great American pop songs of the pre-rock era. It was done before with Linda Ronstadt, and it worked well, so why not Rod Stewart, whose career was in shambles in 2002 following the disastrous modern R&B ...

Standard Time

Standard Time (2001) more music like this

by Steve Tyrell

Steve Tyrell has had a long journeyman's career in the music business, serving as record company executive, songwriter, and producer. But no one could have predicted the twist his career took in the late '90s. After he sang standards on the soundtracks of the films Father of the Bride (1991) and Father of the Bride 2 (1995), he was signed up by ...

The Best of Chet Baker Sings

The Best of Chet Baker Sings (1953) more music like this

by Chet Baker

To much of the pop (as opposed to the jazz) audience, Chet Baker was known not as an able cool jazz trumpeter, but as a romantic balladeer. The two classifications were not mutually exclusive; Baker's vocal numbers would also feature his trumpet playing, as well as fine instrumental support from West Coast cool jazzers. For those who prefer the ...

Nice 'n' Easy

Nice 'n' Easy (1960) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Breaking slightly from his pattern of a swing album following the release of ballads set, Frank Sinatra followed No One Cares with Nice 'N' Easy, a breezy collection of mid-tempo numbers arranged by Nelson Riddle. Not only is it the lightest set that he recorded for Capitol, it is the one with the loosest theme. Sinatra selected a collection of ...

Portrait of Sinatra: Columbia Classics

Portrait of Sinatra: Columbia Classics (1943) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

The beauty of any Frank Sinatra collection is that, depending upon how it is put together by the producers for whatever purpose they have in mind, each one allows the listener to focus on a different aspect of the singer's work and pick out new and varied details. On one level, this double-CD set is a good compromise for listeners who aren't ...

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

Songs for Lovers

Songs for Lovers (1997) more music like this

by Chet Baker

Although it is not obvious from the cover of this 1997 CD, all twelve selections from Chet Baker's Pacific Jazz period are currently available elsewhere (although a few are only on Mosaic limited-edition box sets). The material is almost random and is not programmed in chronological order. Baker takes vocals on five numbers, including three from a ...

Chet Baker Sings

Chet Baker Sings (1956) more music like this

by Chet Baker

As Gerald Heard's liner notes point out, it's difficult to decide whether Chet Baker was a trumpet player who sang or a singer who played trumpet. When the 24-year-old California-based trumpeter started his vocal career in 1954, his singing was revolutionary; as delicate and clear as his trumpet playing, with a similarly bright and vibrato-free ...

Kindred Spirits (2006) more music like this

by Gary Urwin

While it is nearly impossible for jazz musicians to tour much at all as a big band, from time to time, units are assembled for memorable studio sessions such as the ones heard on Gary Urwin's Kindred Spirits. Most of the leader's charts were written to showcase veterans Bill Watrous (trombone) and Pete Christlieb (tenor sax, though he plays ...

Smooth Operator (1999) more music like this

by Dorothy Dandridge

Smooth Operator explores a little-known aspect of the beautiful, troubled African-American actress Dorothy Dandridge: her vocal abilities. Most of this album comes from a 1958 recording session featuring Dandridge's lovely interpretations of "When Your Lover Has Gone," "Body & Soul" and the title track. That her backing band is an augmented ...

The Great American Songbook (2005) more music like this

Released as part of Columbia/Legacy's 2006 series The Great American Songbook -- which spotlighted the label's classic artists singing classic pop songs of the 20th century -- this collection contains 14 highlights from Frank Sinatra's classic recordings for Columbia in the '40s. These weren't necessarily Sinatra's biggest hits, but they are among ...

One Alone (1997) more music like this

by Dave Brubeck

Dave Brubeck rarely recorded as a solo pianist, but beginning in the late '90s, he started performing occasional solo pieces in concert and recorded two first-rate solo dates for Telarc. His third solo CD for the label is full of rich harmonies that any Brubeck fan can identify as his in seconds, including a mix of memorable but overlooked songs ...

I'll Take Romance (1991) more music like this

by Susannah McCorkle

The plot behind this project by the wonderful singer Susannah McCorkle is that she performs fresh interpretations of familiar standards that deal with love; all but the comparatively recent "Where Do You Start?" were at least 35 years old at the time and some were of much earlier vintage. Backed by a quintet including Frank Wess on tenor and flute ...

Radio Days [Original Jive Soundtrack] (1990) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

Even more so than with most of the soundtracks to Woody Allen's movies, Radio Days is filled with a strong nostalgic tone, comprised as it is of material from the heyday of the swing era, which coincides with the movie's era and setting. Its appeal is, thus, not limited to fans of the movie Radio Days -- rather, owing to the care with which Allen ...

The Art Tatum Solo Masterpieces, Vol. 5 (1953) more music like this

by Art Tatum

The fifth volume of this eight CD-series features Tatum interpreting 15 of the 119 standards he recorded during four marathon solo recording sessions for Norman Granz. He sounds typically wondrous in spots even though there are few surprises throughout this generally relaxed set. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

The second of three duet albums by Ella Fitzgerald and guitarist Joe Pass (which has been reissued on CD) finds the duo uplifting 14 superior standards with subtle improvising and gentle swing. Highpoints include the wordless "Rain," "I Ain't Got Nothin' but the Blues," "That Old Feeling," "You Took Advantage of Me" and "The One I Love"; even ...

The third entry in Ray Conniff's series of neo-swing easy listening albums, 'S Awful Nice followed 'S Wonderful! and 'S Marvelous into hit status, reaching the Top Ten and spending a year in the charts. As ever, Conniff's writing was danceable, with his wordless choir carrying the melodies, doubled by the horn and reed sections. The song selection ...

Eddie Fisher Sings/I'm in the Mood for Love/Christmas With Eddie Fisher (2002) more music like this

By means of this discount-priced compilation, it is possible to trace Eddie Fisher's triumphs on the album charts in 1952, the year of his greatest popularity. (This is not, however, the same thing as tracing his equal success on the singles charts. In the 1950s, record companies usually did not include singles on albums, but treated the two ...

The Original Great American Songbook (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

The idea behind The Original Great American Songbook is a simple one: to collect great American singers doing the greatest songs from some of America's greatest pop and jazz composers, and the end result is a disc that should go up into space in a time capsule. Highlights are constant, but include Billie Holiday's version of Dizzy Gillespie's "You ...

Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson (1957) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong with Oscar Peterson

An unusual set with Louis Armstrong singing a variety of popular standards in a relaxed and easy-going manner, he is backed by the Oscar Peterson trio and drummer Louis Bellson. Few fireworks occur but the change of pace for Armstrong (who also contributes some brief trumpet solos) is refreshing. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
