Frank Sinatra
Originally, Frank Sinatra had planned to record Only the Lonely with Gordon Jenkins, who had arranged his previous all-ballads album, Where Are You.

The Gentle Side of John Coltrane

by
John Coltrane
"Gentle" is a relative term, for while this collection of material is mostly pitched at a slower set of tempos and a more lyrical frame of mind, John Coltrane was no less passionate in a ballad as he was in a roaring frenzy. Originally issued on two LPs, and now as an excellent value on a single CD, The Gentle Side draws nine tracks from the ...

by
Frank Sinatra
Culled from a number of different live performances recorded during the '80s (as well as an awkward outtake from the Duets sessions: a version of "My Way" recorded with Luciano Pavarotti), Sinatra 80th Live is a surprisingly moving document of Frank Sinatra in the final stages of his career. By the time this material was recorded, Sinatra's voice ...

The Art Tatum Solo Masterpieces, Vol. 4
(1953)

by
Art Tatum
On the fourth volume in this eight-CD series, Tatum sounds at his best on "Ill Wind" and "The Man I Love." Taken from the 119 piano solos he cut for Norman Granz in four lengthy recording sessions during 1953-55, these performances are concise, relaxed, and surprisingly predictable, if virtuosic.
