What a Diff'rence a Day Makes!
(1959)
more music like this
by
Dinah Washington
One of the more notorious albums in the history of vocal music, What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! is the lush session that bumped up Dinah Washington from the "Queen of the Blues" to a middle-of-the-road vocal wondress -- and subsequently disenfranchised quite a few jazz purists. Washington had been praised in the same breath as Holiday and ...

Chet Baker
Trumpeter Chet Baker was an up-and-coming star when he recorded these three sessions during 1953 and 1954 with a full string section. Reissued on CD in 1998 with two additional alternate takes (this music last came out in 1991) and updated liner notes, Chet Baker & Strings is strictly instrumental; Baker had not begun to sing very extensively yet. ...

I Love John Frigo...He Swings

more music like this
by
Johnny Frigo
Johnny Frigo spent most of his professional life as a jazz bassist, but in the mid-'80s he picked up his first instrument, the violin, and started what amounted to a second jazz career on that instrument. Frigo biographies frequently refer to an obscure album release from the 1950s that prefigured this change, and this is it, a session Frigo ...

Introducing Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 20
(1994)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
At least this pocket-sized, budget-priced trip through 22 years of jazz doesn't pretend to be a definitive primer on jazz. It is simply and purely a sampler from the first 19 issues of Verve's Jazz Masters series; in other words, a sampler of a sampler. There is some clever segueing; the opening track, Louis Armstrong's "Just One of Those Things" ...

Although purists and collectors will have little use for this set, it suits the purposes of neophytes and curious listeners quite well. Among the highlights are "What a Diff ...

Cugat Cavalcade

by
Xavier Cugat
The most significant thing about Cugat Cavalcade is the famous jacket photo of Xavier Cugat holding one of his chihuahuas. But it's also a treat to have a Columbia album recorded in stereo. Unfortunately, the album is really nothing more than another collection of old singles. The new stereo versions are not a significant departure from the ...

50's Soul

more music like this
by
Various Artists
Rebound's '50s Soul contains nine songs (eight on cassette), all of which were quite popular at the end of the '50s. It's a good mix of classic hits and excellent lesser-known singles, all of which adds up to a fun, worthwhile budget-line disc. Among the featured songs are the Platters' "Only You," James Brown's "Please, Please, Please," Dinah ...

Hank Crawford & Leo Wright
The labels "soul" and "blues" don't exactly tell the story on this reissue of a 1960 session by saxophonist/flutist Leo Wright and a 1961 date by alto player Hank Crawford. The Crawford set is actually a pleasant, Kansas City-influenced swing date, while Wright's is, essentially, a session for bop quintet. Crawford's serviceable arrangements on ...
