Lush Life (1984) more music like this

by Linda Ronstadt

What's New illustrated that Linda Ronstadt was no longer interested in contemporary pop, and since it was a surprise success, there was no reason not to repeat the formula on Lush Life. Working again with Nelson Riddle, Ronstadt runs through several pop standards -- "When I Fall in Love," "Sophisticated Lady," "Falling in Love Again," "It Never ...

My Romance

My Romance (1990) more music like this

by Carly Simon

On her second album of pop standards, Carly Simon was a little less interested in the lovelorn songs that had filled 1981's Torch, although she did soldier through "By Myself" and "When Your Lover Has Gone." For the most part, the theme was romantic, with classics like "My Funny Valentine" and "Bewitched" handled in Simon's sexy, plaintive style. ...

Live and Swingin': The Ultimate Rat Pack Collection [CD & DVD]

Live and Swingin': The Ultimate Rat Pack Collection [CD & DVD] (2003) more music like this

by The Rat Pack

As a double-dose audiovisual document of the Rat Pack, this two-disc package -- one a CD, one a DVD -- more than lives up to its title. Disc one is an audio-only CD culled from performances given by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis, Jr. at a Chicago nightclub between November 26 and December 2, 1962, over half of which is previously ...

Beyond the Sea

Beyond the Sea (2004) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

For years, Kevin Spacey's dream project was a biopic on '60s crooner Bobby Darin, starring himself as the lead. After over a decade of struggling to get it made, he finally got a green light in the early 2000s to start production, not just as the lead actor, but as the director and producer of Beyond the Sea.

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 ...

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.

Tenor Madness (1956) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins Quartet

At a time when he was a member of the legendary Clifford Brown/Max Roach sextet, Sonny Rollins was still the apple fallen not too far from the tree of Miles Davis. Tenor Madness was the recording that, once and for all, established Newk as one of the premier tenor saxophonists, an accolade that in retrospect, has continued through six full decades ...

I Wish You Love (1957) more music like this

by Keely Smith

Although known primarily as one-time partner and wife to Louis Prima (vocals), Keely Smith (vocals) also had a measurable amount of success on her own.

by David "Fathead" Newman

This program of tunes so closely associated with Charles features the tenor saxophonist in the company of vibist Steve Nelson, John Hicks ...

The Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason (1996) more music like this

by Jackie Gleason

This is a fine compilation of Jackie Gleason's output for Columbia. Gleason's objective was to make "musical wallpaper" that should never be intrusive, but rather conducive. He was not musically literate, but never had a problem articulating what he wanted to hear from his orchestra. The music here is quiet, melancholy, and often somber, played at ...
