by Frank Sinatra

Combining Frank Sinatra's first two ten-inch albums for Capitol, the compact disc Songs for Young Lovers/Swing Easy! not only contains some of the best music Sinatra recorded, it captures a turning point in popular music.

Who Can I Turn To

Who Can I Turn To (1964) more music like this

by Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett returned to the Top 40 in late 1964 with his version of the Leslie Bricusse-Anthony Newley anthem "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)," from Newley's Broadway show The Roar Of The Greasepaint, The Smell Of The Crowd. That song, like the rest of this album, was arranged and conducted by George Siravo, who made detailed ballad ...

Swingin' with Pee Wee

Swingin' with Pee Wee (1961) more music like this

by Pee Wee Russell

During the last dozen years of his life before passing away in 1969, clarinetist Pee Wee Russell recorded and performed in a variety of surprisingly modern settings. It was not that Russell was not modern himself, for his eccentric style had long been quite distinctive, but he had previously been content to mostly play in freewheeling Dixieland ...

In a Soulful Mood (1960) more music like this

by Charles Mingus

The music on this CD has been reissued several times in more complete fashion. These Candid recordings feature bassist Charles Mingus in a variety of settings. His remarkable quartet of the period (with altoist Eric Dolphy, trumpeter Ted Curson and drummer Dannie Richmond), which was in the process of breaking up, stretches out on a lengthy ...

Jazz Moods: Jazz at Day's End

Jazz Moods: Jazz at Day's End (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Jazz Moods: Jazz at Days' End is a collection of upbeat jazz for the end of the day. Tracks like Scott Hamilton's "Jump for Joy," Carol Sloane's "Take Your Shoes Off, Baby," the Gene Harris Quartet's "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams," and Al Cohn's "When Day Is Done" define the compilation's joyful, relaxed air.

The Best of the Concord Years

The Best of the Concord Years (2003) more music like this

by Rosemary Clooney

The fact that one of the most successful pop singers of the '50s went on to become one of the most acclaimed jazz singers of the '80s and '90s shouldn't be marked up to the simple attrition of the WWII generation of jazz vocalists. Rosemary Clooney was comfortable (and skilled) singing in many different circumstances, and the fact that she could ...

The Uncollected June Christy with the Kentones (1946)

The Uncollected June Christy with the Kentones (1946) (1946) more music like this

by June Christy

The well-recorded radio transcriptions on this album predate all of singer June Christy's regular solo recordings; she had only been with Stan Kenton's Orchestra for about a year at the time. The identification of the backup personnel has been lost to history (despite the anonymous title of "the Kentones"), but Christy is the star of the 14 ...

Live with the Mel-Tones, Vol. 2 (1998) more music like this

by Mel Tormé

The second and final volume in Mr. Music's series on one of the best vocal groups of the '40s, Live With the Mel-Tones, Vol. 2 unfortunately includes only six performances by the group, but they are fine. "What Is This Thing Called Love?," a group specialty, proceeds with a radically different arrangement (probably by Tormé himself), while "How ...

Swing That Music (1969) more music like this

by Ruby Braff & Red Norvo

This two-record set combines separate sets by Ruby Braff and Red Norvo from the same 1969 Paris studio session, though both musicians use the identical rhythm section of pianist George Wein, bassist Larry Ridley, drummer Don Lamond, and guitarist Barney Kessel, who has many nice solos in both sessions. Braff, playing cornet, pays tribute to Louis ...

Uptown (1985) more music like this

by Maxine Sullivan and the Scott Hamilton Quintet

The first of her two Concord CDs, this set features veteran singer Maxine Sullivan performing ten of her favorite songs, all of which originated from the swing era or before. Sullivan sounds quite happy to be joined by tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton's very complementary quintet (which also includes guitarist Chris Flory and pianist John Bunch). ...

Swing Easy! (1955) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

As the title implies, the record concentrates on up-tempo swingers. Again, the songs were all standards -- "Just One of Those Things," "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams," "All of Me" -- that benefitted from the new thematic setting, the new arrangements, and, of course, Sinatra's increasingly playful and textured vocals. Sinatra plays around with the ...

by Art Tatum

This fantastic group of radio performances from 1940 captures the piano genius in classic form. Playing a couple of piano solos each week on a radio show entitled California Melodies, Tatum runs through two dozen absolutely amazing turns on classics like "Caravan," "Begin the Beguine," "Stompin' at the Savoy," "Where or When," "Tea for Two," "All ...

Spotlight on Dean Martin [Great Gentlemen of Song] (1995) more music like this

by Dean Martin

Unlike many in Capitol's Spotlight On... series, Dean Martin's volume isn't quite the all-encompassing hits collection it appears to be from the package. Of the 18 tracks, each was recorded at either of two sessions -- January 1959 and May 1960 -- just over a year apart, which doesn't exactly make the album a career retrospective. Still, it ...

Songs of the Depression: Boom, Bust & New Deal (1999) more music like this

Bear Family Records presents an 88-track anthology of what are now termed Depression Era phonograph recordings cut between May 31, 1929, and April 10, 1940. This stretch of time takes in the last few months of the U.S.A.'s already flawed and disintegrating prosperity, the devastating Wall Street crash of October 29, 1929, and the nation's ...

This is a collection of early-to mid-'50s recordings by Stan Getz on the Giants of Jazz label. While it's true this is a budget collection, it doesn't mean that the material here is any way substandard. It's true that there are some sketchy details in terms of personnel, but that's hardly a real deterrent, especially since it's made up of live ...
