Shirley Bassey: Broadway Bassey's Way (1972)

This is a compilation EMI/Columbia issued in 1972. The 14 songs all from top Broadway shows were recorded between '64 and '68. The excellent orchestral backings were provided by some of the best arrangers and conductors in the UK at that time. Johnny Spence heads the list, followed byJohnny Scott, Kenny Clayton, Kenneth Moule and the Alyn Ainsworth Orch playing Johnny Douglas arrangements. A few years ago a local winery with a natural amphitheatre enticed Shirley to travel half way around the globe to appear here for a one-off concert. I was perched on the hillside that night. It was warm and balmy, and like the wine, Shirley was wonderful. A night to remember. Other years saw Ray Charles, Rod Stewart, Dionne Warwick , Eric Clapton, Kenny Rogers, Boney M, Tom Jones, Kiri Te Kanawa and others come "down under" to entertain us under the stars. For me they were all memorable -- but Shirley Bassey was special. Haven't found any evidence that this disc was reissued as a CD. There are still a few vinyls around, but very few. By the way -- don't be thrown by the name on my download file. It really is our Shirl.

Kelly's Kool Kompilations (1&2)

Da! Da! The inevitable compilation. Sooner than I had planned, but couldn't wait to give it a go. The files are chosen quite randomly from my MP3 library. Scan through the lists and you'll see it's a mixed bag. Oldest item is probably a snippet from the "Gershwin Plays Gershwin" CD which features piano roll recordings made by the great maestro from about 1916 to 1933. I understand he learnt to play the piano using a "Pianola" (as the instuments were called) owned by a neighbour. As a lad in the '30s I had access to one whenever we visited my aunty. I loved pumping away at the pedals. I see that there are 97 used and new copies of the CD available from Amazon for as little as $1.89!! Grab yourself one. The most recent item in my compilation is probably the Leonard Bernstein song "Some Other Time" sung by Ernestine Anderson with George Shearing at the piano. I love this song. Quoted the first few lines in a eulogy to my sister at her funeral last month. The only item I'm not sure about is track 12. Think it's the Verner Muller Orch, but can't recall the song title or where I ripped it from. Quality-wise it'll be pretty mixed too. Track 19 (Betty Grable) won't be too hot. It's from the soundtrack of the '47 movie "Mother Wore Tights" in which she was caste as a vaudeville dancer with Dan Daily. I've always liked the song for some reason. There's a high-quality clip from the film of Betty doing this number on YouTube. But all the tracks sound "reasonable", whatever that may mean, played on my home theatre equipment. I've ripped them off my master CD using VBR at 240-355Kbps. Haven't changed the format from the original WMAs. I'm very new to all this blogging bit so am keeping my fingers firmly crossed that my files aren't too awful (sound-wise that is).

Buddy Bregman: This Band Swings (1968)

This is my one and only Buddy Bregman disc. I know little of his background other than that has was blessed with a multi-faceted career (composer, arranger, TV and film producer/director, etc.). Can't find any evidence that this vinyl was ever transferred to CD which surprises me because it's a good example of the driving big band jazz sound of the 60s. Some of the tracks feature some good soloists too but there's no mention of who they are on the cover. There are still a few vinyl copies around on the Net and they're not el cheapos either. So there must still be a moderate demand for Buddy's music. Can't think why they lined up Fred Astaire to do the back cover blurb. I suppose Liberty records hoped it would sell as a dance disc as well. Did they dance to this stuff in the 60s? S'pose they did.

Jonah Jones: Hit Me Again! (1959)

Taken literally this is quite a whacky album title especially in these PC (politically correct) days. When I first saw the disc in the sale bin I pictured a dominatrix being spurred on by an over-zealous client! But maybe I'm the whacky one.Whatever, I found Jonah to be good value on my 9 to noon radio shows in the 60s. Big percentage of listeners in those days were what we labelled as "housewives" or "homemakers" (which probably sounds better). The "girls" as we called them seemed to dig his happy blending of jazz and pop. I could always depend on JJ to give the program a lift especially after a few slow-tempo ballads. He could swing. Capitol Records had a winner in Jonah. In the late 50s and 60s he came up with one hit album after another. Columbia had their Billy Butterfield, but JJ seemed to nail the market. His sidemen were very good too and he could even sing! On this album he voices "Blueberry Hill" and "I'll Always Be In Love With You".

Lee & Shearing: Beauty And The Beat! (1959)

This has been and still is one of my very special vinyls. I've always envied that bunch of noisy DJs at the National Disc Jockey Convention at Miami, Florida in 1959. This was a brilliant pairing of course never to be repeated. While Peggy had already made some impact on the US jazz scene with several solo albums and her earlier work with Benny Goodman, George had still to reach star status. But it's obvious Peggy found him so easy to work with . . . ."Shall we swing a little bit?". So sad this was their only recording date despite both being contracted to Capitol. Fav tracks are "Do I Love You" (George's brilliant key changes) and "Satin Doll".

Percy Faith Orch: Bim! Bam! Boom!! (1965)

A radio colleague of mine was a huge fan of Percy Faith. From memory he had every album the great maestro produced in the 60s and 70s and so on. I was a great admirer of his orchestrations too, but wasn't so one-eyed as Tony. The vinyl featured here had to be a winner for me. It combined the fab sounds of the orchestra with the addictive bossa nova rhythms grabbing us at that time. This was a showcase for Faith's Latin sound. As a bonus I really dig that cover too. How about you? Top tracks are - Tom Jobim's "Estrada Branca" ("This Happy Madness") (9), "Sim" (8) and Edu Lobo's "Reza" (6).

Les Baxter Singers: Voices In Rhythm (1962)

Les Baxter aficionados would probably consign this disc to the boring bin. In the 50s Les had a huge following mainly because of the Exotica albums ("Jungle Jazz", "Ritual Of The Savage", "Tamboo" etc) he recorded for Capitol. In fact he was Capitol's golden boy then and helped establish that label as a worthy competitor to CBS and the others. Later he was eclipsed by Liberty's Martin Denny, another but lesser exotica exponent, and eventually shunned by Capitol. Les's own music in the 60s was mainly soundtrack work and he made a few albums for Reprise. This is one of them. It's an attempt to cash in on the phenomenal run CBS was having pouring out dozens of Ray Conniff albums. It's another example of "anything you can do . . . ." Who better to do the job than the multi-talented Mr Baxter. If you haven't come across this album before do a download and take a listen. It's the bouncy, melodic stuff normally associated with Conniff, but this time it's a la Baxter.

Sarah Vaughan: Vaughan And Violins (1958)

Another one that slots in with the after dinner liqueurs and cigars. The word that says it all for me is "lush". Sure she could be sassy, but at this point in her performing career few could match Sarah's way with ballads. Throw in Quincy Jones' fab arrangements and the result is pure Mercury magic. The tracks were put down 50 years ago in Paris. Standout was Errol Garner's "Misty". With Johnny Burke's lyrics this tune became No.1 and Sarah's version was one if the first to hit the shelves. Listen out for the occasional tenor sax solos from Zoot Sims and the lovely lyrics of Otis Rene's "Im Lost" ("I'm lost because the telephone won't ring. I'm lost, my pet canary bird won't sing").

Garry Blake Orch: A Swinging Party (1968)

Whatever turns your wheels chances are you won't get too far down the road with this one. There's nothing wrong with it. In fact it makes quite pleasant listening. But it represents just one of thousands of light orchestral vinyls pressed in the 60s and 70s featuring popular tunes of the times and issued by most of the major recording companies. Google for background on Garry Blake and you come up with a big fat zero. At least I did. Reason I've still got the disc? Try track 2 and 9. But mainly 2. It's the theme from the TV series "The Odd Couple" which started life as a Neil Simon hit Broadway play in '65. It starred Walter Matthau and Art Carney. It became an Academy Award winning movie in '68 with Matthau and the incomparable Jack Lemmon. Then with this pedigree made a very successful transition to television in 1970 on the ABC network and remained one of ABC's comedy mainstays for the next five years. Roles of Oscar and Felix were taken by Jack Klugman and Tony Randall. But back to the show's theme on track 2. Neal Hefti originally wrote it for the movie version and it was wisely retained for the TV series. Hefti also supplied the all-time classic theme for the 60's cult series "Batman". I like this Garry Blake arrangement. Probably explains why I still have the disc. Used it a lot during my radio days. Sometime during 1970-75 TV series Klugman and Randall recorded a few songs released on a vinyl called "The Odd Couple Sings". I have a friend with this disc so I may borrow it sometime and blog it.

Tony Hatch Singers: Showcase (1967)

Have found that getting recognition for a new blog is like trying to push water uphill with a rake. But this figures. If folk don't want your goods they won't come into your shop. But they gotta know your shop exists. Trick is to have exclusive goods and plenty of them. There are so many music blogs just one more with the same old stuff can be a bit of a yawn and those wonderful big ones -- Loronix, Singin' And Swingin', CB Vocal Groups and Tuna Two -- to name only four, lead the way with such mind-blowing quality and selection. Anyhow, we must press on. As with the previous post, this one won't set the blog scene on fire. But I've put it on the turntable when feeling like a spot of light, melodic and well presented showtime music. Tony Hatch was a very good musician -- a professional who rose to the top in the 60s. His link with Petula Clark who revived her career with his song "Downtown" helped and later his teaming up with talented singer and lyricist Jackie Trent put them both on the musical map. I have two of Jackie's albums -- "The Look Of Love" and "The Magic Of Jackie Trent". Will post them both. By the way, Tony uses the Mike Sammes Singers for this session.

Ferrante & Teicher (compilation)

Billed as "The Grand Twins of the Twin Grands", the duo pianists Arthur Ferrante and Louis Teicher had a fantastic following in the 50s, 60s, 70s and he early 80s. They met while studying at Juilliard. In 1947 they launched a full-time career playing mostly nightclubs, but between 1950 and 1980 they became a top "easy listening" act scoring 4 big hits -- themes from "The Apartment", "Exodus" and "Midnight Cowboy" and "Tonight" from "Westside Story". They performed and recorded with several major US pops orchestras. It's claimed that they recorded 150 albums, sold 90 million of them and received 22 gold and platinum record awards. The duo also had a more avant-garde side. They experimented with prepared pianos, influenced by avant-garde composer John Cage. By adding paper, sticks, rubber, wood blocks, metal bars, chains, glass, mallets, and other found objects to piano string beds, they were able to produce a variety of bizarre sounds that sometimes resembled percussion instruments, and at other times resulted in special effects that sounded as if they were electronically synthesized. I have a recording of them doing this tricky-dicky type stuff. Must look it out and post it. They'd had enough by 1989 and both retired to Florida. I understand Louis died in August aged 83, but Arthur is still with us. He's now 86. "Although we were two individuals, at the twin pianos our brains worked as one," Art Ferrante recalled at the time of Teicher's death. Then, tongue in cheek, he added," . . . as pianists it's ironic how we both ended up living on keys" (Florida that is). Oh hardy ha ha!! This posting is of course a compilation, but it does include 3 of their biggest hits. Take a listen.

Rosemary Clooney & The Hi-Lo's: Ring Around Rosie (1957)

The "Ring Around Rosie" album as promised. William Ruhlmann of the All Music Guide comments: "Whoever at Columbia Records had the idea of matching Rosemary Clooney and the Hi-Lo's, the idea was a sound one, as is demonstrated on the opening track, "Doncha Go ‘Way Mad," as well as "Together," which starts the second side of the LP, "What Is There to Say," and especially the closing song, "How About You" (with its playful name-dropping of Columbia president Goddard Lieberson). On these numbers, the vocal group sparks Clooney to some spirited performances, and she grounds them somewhat, with the combination producing a buoyant, even giddy mood. That, of course, only represents four of the 12 selections on the disc. Elsewhere, Clooney gets four songs to herself ("Love Letters," "I'm in the Mood for Love," "Everything Happens to Me," and "I'm Glad There Is You") as do the Hi-Lo's ("Moonlight Becomes You," "I Could Write a Book," "Coquette," and "Solitude"). On this two-thirds of the album, each act reverts to type, Clooney turning in some effectively smoldering ballad renditions of standards, the Hi-Lo's bordering on vocalese in their efforts to jazz up some others. There's nothing wrong with either approach, of course. But the four songs that really contain collaborations by Clooney and the Hi-Lo's, justifying the joint billing on this LP, indicate that a full-length match-up would have been far superior". ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Bobby Darin - Love Swings (1961)

Before you get too green with envy that this album only cost me 47c, simmer down. Fact is it's not my cover. Mine is so shabby I borrowed this one just for the post. But hey -- I'm with you. Just 47c for this cracker? I love Bobby, I love the songs and I love the classy Torrie Zito backings. I was just one of a mass of mourners when, at only 37, Bobby died in December 1973 after eight hours on the operating table. He was having heart surgery. He had attracted a huge following in his relatively short career. Not only the R&R crowd, but types like myself who admired his ability to do justice to the Gershwin, Carmichael, Mercer and Rogers & Hart ballads listed here. The concept of this album is intriguing. The liner notes explain: "Yes, love swings, but like a pendulum: back and forth." So this Darin album has it all, the "moonlight and roses affair" and the "heartache and bittersweet memories." Side one contains songs that reflect the happier, giddier side of love. On it Bobby Darin's natural buoyancy as a performer shines through in six up-tempo, truly swinging tunes. "Long Ago and Far Away" has a loungey bongoland feel, with a "solid sock" brass section. "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," "How About You," and "It Had to Be You" are such good, romantic staples that they are anthologized on various collections including The Best of Bobby Darin, Vol. 2 and As Long As I'm Singin': The Bobby Darin Collection. The two unreleased songs on the "happy side" are "The More I See You" and "No Greater Love," which are both outstanding. Side two contains the more poignant, mature songs, including the heartbreaking "In Love in Vain" (written by Leo Robin and Jerome Kern), "Something to Remember You By" (by Howard Dietz and Arthur Shwartz), and "Skylark" (by Carmichael and Mercer), which are depressing ballads with beautiful, lush orchestrations. Love Swings is Bobby Darin's most interesting conceptual approach to an album. The sequence of songs takes the listener on an emotional journey from love's first stirrings and its delirious heights to the first disillusionments and melancholy lows. Love Swings plays like two separate albums. While both sides are cohesive thematically, it is hard to listen to the sweet swinging sounds of side one and then eagerly flip to the more haunting and moody songs on side two".

Doc Severinsen & the Tonight Show Band (1986)

Great sounds from the trumpet of Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band. It's had quite an impressive lineup. No wonder it sounds so cool. Here's what Wikipedia has to say:

The Tonight Show Band is the band which plays on the American television variety show, the Tonight Show. From 1962 to the 1990s, during the years the show was known as The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, it was an important outlet for jazz on American television. During the Carson era, the band was always billed as "The NBC Orchestra" and sometimes "Doc Severinsen and the NBC Orchestra."

The band was founded in 1954, and its first long-term director was Skitch Henderson (1954-57). Henderson was replaced by Jose Melis in 1957, when Jack Paar took over as host from Steve Allen. Henderson returned in 1962 when Johnny Carson took over from Paar. Carson increased the band budget, and Henderson created a major jazz big band by hiring some of the best jazz musicians from the touring big bands which were going out of business at the time, and by commissioning charts from top jazz arrangers. The new band included Clark Terry, Bobby Rosengarden, Doc Severinsen, Urbie Green, Ed Shaughnessy, and Ernie Royal, among others.

In 1966, Henderson left the show and was replaced by Milton DeLugg, who in 1967 was replaced by Severinsen. Severinsen continued to add important musicians to the band, including Louie Bellson, Allen Vizzutti, and Snooky Young. The show's move from New York to California effected a significant change in the band's personnel.

In 1992, when Jay Leno replaced Carson, Branford Marsalis took over as musical director, and a new smaller band was formed. Marsalis was succeeded in 1995 by Kevin Eubanks. ~ Wikipedia

Matt Monro: This Is The Life (1966)

Matt was born in 1930. His natural name was Terry Parsons. He had a tough upbringing in North London, left school at 14 and joined the army at 18. He was posted to Hong Kong as a tank driving instructor. On his return to the UK he tried to make a living as a singer, but recognition didn't come until pianist Winifred Atwell heard him, convinced her label, Decca, that he had talent and changed his name to Matt Monro. Next big break came after the death of Nat King Cole. Capitol needed a replacement and eventually chose Matt. With the Sid Feller and Billy May backings Matt's career really took off, but few were aware that he had a heavy drinking problem. Subsequently his liver was severely affected so much so that a transplant was recommended. But during surgery the doctors discovered that the cancer had spread so much they had to abandon the operation. Matt tried to continue his singing career but couldn't combat the spreading cancer. His last performance was at London's recently opened Barbican Centre and he died shortly afterwards at the Cromwell hospital in London, 7th February 1985, at the age of only 54. This album was released by Capitol in '66. Matt had moved to the US and his popularity was rising. The Sid Feller arrangements are excellent. Apologies for the tracking hiccups in "You're Gonna Hear From Me" and "On A Wonderful Day".

Battle Of The Big Bands (1954)

Capitol Records released a number of compilations. This one is tops with me. The company was riding high in the 50s and 60s and managed to entice some of the best big bands of these decades into their stable. Most if not all of these band leaders have passed on now, so the album is a kind of memorial to them all. Also Capitol were trail blazers. Their use of Neumann (right spelling?) microphones and acoustically designed studios produced some outstanding recordings. This disc was pressed 54 years ago.It still sounds fabulous on my equipment. Hope my rip has done it justice.

Alan Copeland Singers: If Love Comes With It (1966)

I bought this disc for the music. Yeh right!! She is a knockout isn't she? Reminds me a little of my neice. The Alan Copeland Singers was quite a cool group in the 60s. Bit old hat now I guess. But I used this album quite regularly in my radio shows. Alan Copeland had a great pedigree. After leaving school he joined the Navy in '44. Served for two years as an aerial gunner and between missions managed to continue with his piano playing. After demob he teamed up with the Mel-Tones headed by Mel Torme and wrote vocal and orchestral charts for The Modernaires. He was linked to this group for five years and performed daily on the CBS-TV's "Bob Crosby Show". He also performed as a singer at this time. He eventually joined the staff at Universal Studios where he worked with Henry Mancini. When The Modernaires joined the "Red Skelton Show" Alan went with them and worked as musical director/arranger. His compositions were sung and recorded by Jo Stafford, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Betty Hutton, Frankie Laine, Sarah Vaughan and so on. Quite a lineup. Count Basie chose the singers to join his band for the album "Basie Swingin' - Voices Singin'". I have this vinyl and plan to post it next. My fav. tracks are "If Love Comes With It" and "Funny Girl".

Basie Swingin' Voices Singin' (1966)

Apparently Basie was impressed by Alan Copeland's work as choral director of the "Red Skelton Show" and approached him to do this album. He was honoured of course and said 'yes'. The collaboration was quite successful as expected. Alan conducted and did all the arrangements. For Basie purists this wasn't seen as one of maestro's high points. But even Basie was a businessman and had to make a buck. On some tracks the rhythm section and voices are aided by some of the Basie sidemen. This album, in fact, contains the first fruits of Roy Eldridge's new association with the Count. His muted horn is a heard on "Until I met You", a number written by Freddie Green, whose guitar is a driving force on every track. There are also solos and obbligati by Lockjaw Davis, Al Grey and Roy on "One For My Baby" and "Call Me".

Bobby Sherwood Band: On Tour (1947?)

Saw this vinyl in a Hi-Fi shop sale bin. As it was a one-off and in mint condition I bought it. Haven't regretted it. Sounds great and the band really swings. Found little reference to it or the label on the Net and the cover tells me nothing other than the track titles and that the vocalist is Gale Landis. So here's some info from our trusty and erudite disc guru, Scott Yanow. "Born 30 May 1914, Indianapolis, USA. Self-taught on several instruments, Sherwood first appeared on stage as a child when he became a member of a vaudeville troupe. In the mid-30s he was hired by Bing Crosby as accompanist following the death of guitarist Eddie Lang. Through his association with Crosby, Sherwood readily secured work in Hollywood, mostly with MGM. In 1941, by this time mostly playing trumpet, he formed his own big band. Although he was also an accomplished arranger, again self taught, Sherwood lacked the qualities needed for band leadership; despite hiring outstanding young musicians such as Zoot Sims, his band was often under-rehearsed and, according to critic George T. Simon, "one of the most slovenly-looking crews" he ever saw on a bandstand. Thanks to the popularity of records such as "Sherwood's Forest" and "Elk's Parade", both of which he composed, he managed to keep the band afloat until the end of the 40s. Sherwood then became an actor, working in both the theatre and films. Towards the end of the 50s he again tried his hand at band leading, forming a small group and later a big band to work in hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and other gambling resorts. Highlights include swinging versions of "King Cotton" and "In a Mellow Tone," plus a feature for the English horn of Eddie Lucas on "Cape Horn." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Nat King Cole At The Sands (1960)

It's hard to believe, but this is the only Las Vegas recording in Nat "King" Cole's large discography. It was made at the glitzy Sands Casino in 1960, during the heyday of Sinatra and the Rat Pack, and it's Cole's elegant tenor voice, rather than his brilliant Earl "Fatha" Hines-inspired piano playing, that was the focus at this stage of his career. As a pop singer, Cole had the audience in the palm of his hand like no other entertainer of his era, save for the Chairman of the Board. Backed by a big band arranged by Dave Cavanaugh, Cole belts out some hip renditions of well-worn standards like "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" and "I Wish You Love," and the haunting "Miss Otis Regrets (She's Unable to Lunch Today)".

Dirk Bogarde: Lyrics For Lovers (1960)

OK -- Pure schmaltz or a vinyl treasure? You decide. If you are a Bogarde fan it'll probably be the latter although opinions were divided when the disc was released. When producer Marcel L. Stellman approached Bogarde to make the recording the actor backed off giving his busy filming schedule as an excuse. But Stellman didn't give up. Two years after the first approach Bogarde finally agreed, but what were the options? He declined to see himself as a singer. What about poetry? Maybe. Byron, Keats? Problem was that verse speaking was well represented on disc and Stellman wanted to do something different. Some song lyrics can be classed as a kind of poetry. Would Bogarde be prepared to speak them as verse with their related melodies reduced to incidental orchestral background? Dozens of songs were considered. A short list of 40 and finally the 12 featured on this album. You'll notice that all the lyrics used are ones whose tunes have stood the test of time and have, to some extent, overshadowed the excellence of the words. This kind of reverses the position. The background music is played by the Eric Rogers Orchestra.

Charlie Barnet: Town Hall Jazz Concert (1947)

This is another one from the Hi-Fi shop sale bin. Like the Bobby Sherwood album Google didn't dig out much info. I assume it was recorded in the New York town hall. Charlie's cover blurb is interesting. Doesn't explain why Columbia waited 8 years before releasing the concert in '55. It's out on the "Hep" label as well. (Hep Records was founded in 1974 by its present owner Alastair Robertson, whose aim was to issue albums of well known jazz musicians and bands of the mid 1940's drawn from radio acetates and transcriptions). As the swing era wound down, Barnet was one of the leaders hoping to keep big bands alive by pleasing the dancers while accomodating bebop developments. He had the right combination of elements; his adaptation of Elllingtonia, a smattering of bop-oriented young musicians, great arrangements by Andy Gibson, Neal Hefti and Billy May and--far from least--his own gutsy saxophone solos and charisma. The December, 1947, Town Hall concert is one of his enduring monuments. The trumpet work of 27-year-old Clark Terry--now thrilling, now endearing--is fresh 61 years later. This vinyl is very "toppy". I assume the original tapes were the same. I tried another rip with a different cartridge and reduced the bitrate to 192, but it's still a bit rough. If the disc interests you be my guest, but don't expect hi-fi sound. Have ripped each side without track breaks.

Jackie Trent: The Magic Of (1965)

A British singer/songwriter of the '60s whose voice was far better suited for reaching the back row of Broadway auditoriums than soul or rock, Jackie Trent nonetheless operated on the fringe of the U.K. pop scene in the manner of other femme belters like Cilla Black, though her efforts were usually even more in the middle of the road. Her one big triumph was her number one British single in mid-1965, "Where Are You Now (My Love)," which had the honor of bumping the Beatles' "Ticket to Ride" from the top position; that would be her only Top 20 entry. If she can often sound like Petula Clark crossed with Shirley Bassey, there's a good reason for that; she shared Clark's producer, Tony Hatch, who would become her songwriting partner and husband. Trent and Hatch, in fact, penned several of Clark's hits, though (with the exception of "Where Are You Now") the composers weren't nearly as successful when applying their songwriting/production talents to Jackie's discs. Trent recorded quite prolifically for Pye in the 1960s (including some duets with husband Tony), but it's as a songwriter that she'll be primarily remembered. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

The Four Freshmen: Voices In Fun (1961)

While The Four Freshmen recorded this album in 1961 for Capitol, it was also released in Australasia under the "Regal" label. The name was a shortened version of "Regal Zonophone". In the 60s Regal was a subsidiary of HMV/EMI. There was quite a complex tie-up between the major recording companies in those early days. I have always preferred the original Capitol cover so have included it as well as the Regal one. The Regal is OK I suppose but very busy and a bit boring. Very good pressing though. One of my favourite Four Freshmen vinyls. The Billy May backings are brilliant as usual.

The Benny Goodman Quartet: Made In Japan (1964)

From the earliest days of his career Goodman was marked out as a hot clarinetist. His dazzling technique, allied to his delight in playing hot jazz, made him one of the most exciting players of his day. Without question, he was the most technically proficient of all musicians regularly playing jazz clarinet. During the late 50s and in succeeding decades, Goodman made many appearances with small groups and with occasional big bands, but his days as a leader of a regular big band were over. Even as a small group leader, his appearances tended to be one-off only affairs, although he did regularly associate with musicians for whom he had high regard, among them Ruby Braff and Urbie Green. In Europe he led a big band for an appearance at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussells and in 1962 took a band to the USSR for a visit sponsored by the US State Department. Later, he fronted other big bands, including two formed from British musicians for concert tours in 1969 and again in 1970. But his days as a leader of a regular big band were over. In February of 1964 Tokyo jazz fans were treated to a one-off concert featuring one of his quartets -- Benny (clarinet), Dick Shreve (piano), Colin Bailey (drums) and Monty Budwig (bass). Venue was the Kosei Nenkin Auditorium. Toshiba (Capitol's Japanese affiliate) was on hand to record the performance. I realize this album has been posted on other blogs, but just in case you've missed them, here it is again from me to you.

Laurie Johnson Orch: New BIG Sound (1964)

I've been a fan of Laurie Johnson for more than 40 years. Don't recall the name of the album featuring his orchestra I owned in the 60s, but I'll never forget the impact it had on me. In this recording his arrangements called for the usual instrumental line-up but enhanced by a large ensemble of flutes. The effect was arresting to say the least. Like trombones, flutes sound great en mass. Haven't heard them used like this since. But in his heyday Johnson was considered one of the top composer/arrangers in the UK. I guess his style could be described as "dynamic". He was probably best known internationally for his title theme for the Diana Rigg/Linda Thorson seasons of "The Avengers". He also worked on dozens of feature films, including Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove", J. Lee Thompson's "Tiger Bay", Ray Harryhausen's "The First Men in the Moon", and Brian Clemens' "Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter".

Pete Fountain: Licorice Stick (1964)

One of the most famous of all New Orleans jazz clarinetists, Pete Fountain has the ability to play songs that he has performed a countless number of times (such as "Basin Street Blues") with so much enthusiasm that one would swear he had just discovered them. His style and most of his repertoire have remained unchanged since the late '50s, yet he never sounds bored. In 1948, Fountain (who is heavily influenced by Benny Goodman and Irving Fazola) was a member of the Junior Dixieland Band and this was followed by a stint with Phil Zito and an important association with the Basin Street Six (1950-1954), with whom the clarinetist made his first recordings. In 1955, Fountain was a member of the Dukes of Dixieland, but his big breakthrough came when he was featured playing a featured Dixieland number or two on each episode of The Lawrence Welk Show during 1957-1959. After he left, he moved back to New Orleans, opened his own club, and has played there regularly up until retiring from the nightclub business in early 2003. Fountain's finest recordings were a lengthy string for Coral during 1959-1965 (they turned commercial for a period after that). ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Toots Thielemans: The Very Best Of

This may not be what Richard had in mind when he asked me, via my Chat Box a few weeks ago, to post some harmonica music. But being a person of my word, I've ripped one my favourite Toots Thielemans discs for you Richard. Actually I would have almost walked over burning coals to get some "mouth organ" music for you. Why such selfless devotion? Because my friend you are the only visitor to my blog so far that has had the courage to make a comment. Brilliant!! Brickbats or bouquets. Don't really care. Some reaction is miles better than almost a big fat zero. In one of my earlier posts I likened getting some sort of reaction to pushing water uphill with a rake. I realize this is a "grab" generation, but some music blog owners have downloaders almost frothing at the mouth with thanks and enthusiasm. Maybe it's saying something about my kind of music. I may be a majority of one. Regardless I'll press on. All the other music bloggers will agree with me that it takes hours of preparation. But who cares. We love our music and get a real buzz presenting it as we do for you guys. So there! I've said my bit. But back to the harmonicas. The BBC "Goon Shows" of the 60s featured a brilliant Dutch harmonica player and I can't recall his name. Was it Max Gelder or a name like that. Anyone remember his musical interludes on each of the shows? The backing band was fantastic too. Does the name Wally Stott ring a bell? Even earlier was the master, Larry Adler. Anyhow that's enough of my ramblings for today. Here's the 'terrific Toots'. Enjoy!

Billy May: Naughty Operetta (1955)

Great early Capitol Billy May sounds (classical sax slurps and all). I make no secret of the fact that I'm a dedicated BM fan. He gave every manuscript, whether as backing arrangements or big band charts, his personal stamp. His "slurping saxes" was just one example. This idiosyncratic style of writing may appear as predictable, boring and kinda outdated to some listeners now, but I've never found them as such. This vinyl is dated 1955, about 2 years before stereo became the recording norm. But as mono it still packs a mighty punch. It has been described as "cutting edge mono". Those 50s Capitol engineers knew just how to show off Billy's punchy brass ideas to the full. I have a Peggy Lee album, "Pretty Eyes", which I plan to post shortly. Here's Billy's writing for strings that can only be described as tender, lyrical. Versatility is the sign of a great arranger. Watch for it soon.

Peggy Lee: Pretty Eyes (1960)

This is Peggy at her most sexy and seductive. The song choice is quite interesting. Besides "I Remember You" and "Fly Me To The Moon" some of the other ballads were not too well known in 1960. But Miss Lee had an instinct for songs that suited her style, famous or not. She was born Norma Deloris Egstrom in North Dakota. She performed with Benny Goodman's orchestra before going on to record and write songs of her own. Hollywood beckoned, too. She earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of an alcoholic singer in 1955's Pete Kelly's Blues. When she died of a heart attack at age 81 in 2002, artists from K.D. Lang to Diana Krall noted her influence on their own singing. Billy May's on the podium again, but unlike my previous post, there's no brass, just woodwinds, strings and rhythm. To my ears his backings complement Peggy's ballad style perfectly. But then I would say that wouldn't I? Sorry to say this vinyl is not one of Capitol's better pressings. It's a bit flat. But it must be noted that it was pressed and released down here in Australasia by HMV. Quality-wise if "Battle Of The Big Bands" is my best Capitol album, this one is the worst. But hey! Technical considerations aside, it's a nice album. Jerome Kern's "Remind Me" always gives me goose-bumps.

George Shearing Quintet: On The Sunny Side Of The Strip (1958)

This is one of five live George Shearing Quintet LPs. This set is quite bop-oriented with such songs as "Jordu," "Confirmation," "Bernie's Tune" and "Joy Spring" being given the Shearing treatment. The quintet was selling so many albums during the 1950s that they pretty much stopped cutting jazz records in favor of pop. By 1958 fans were missing the Bop-streaked Cool jazz that made the quintet so popular in the first place. The answer was to start recording Shearing's hot live show, and this set may well be the best of the bunch. The George Shearing Quintet was to last 20 years until it was disbanded in 1978. As George explained: "The main reason for this change was that I found myself putting the music on automatic pilot most of the time." Over that 20 years period, "The Shearing Sound" manifested itself in quintet settings such as this album which was recorded in performance at the Crescendo on Sunset Strip with a group that featured the immensely talented Jean "Toots" Thielemans on guitar, Emil Richards on vibes, Al McKibbon on bass and Percy Brice on drums. Shearing preferred his drummers to use brushes and Percy's marvelous work with these is on display throughout this recording.

Count Basie Band: This Time (1963)

Is this Basie with his commercial hat on again? You'd think so by reading the track titles -- "Moon River", "Nice 'n' Easy", "Fly Me To The Moon" and so on. But this is great big-band Basie. Even with these hit tunes of the 60s, with a lineup such as this -- Thad Jones, Al Grey, Henry Coker, Marshall Royal, Frank Foster, Frank Wess, Sonny Payne and the ever-present Freddie Green -- he just couldn't miss. And with the Quincy Jones Music Company writer, Billy Byers, doing the charts! I'll say no more. Some of these arrangements are still being played by present day bands. The album was later reissued with 5 bonus tracks added. But this one of mine is the original.

Joe Williams: A Swingin' Night At Birdland (1962)

In 1961, after six years as one of the main attractions of Count Basie's orchestra, Williams (with Basie's blessing) went out on his own. One of his first sessions was this live recording, cut at Birdland in June,1962, with a strong quintet that featured trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, Jimmy Forrest on tenor, Sir Charles Thompson (piano), Joe Benjamin (bass) and Charlie Persip (drums). In this collection, just as in all his club appearances, Joe wails the blues as well as some standards in the style that won him fame with the Basie band.

Lisa Ono: Dream

Slotting this in here for one reason. Exposure. If you haven't met Lisa before this, now's your chance to say 'hello'. Download and take a listen. If you like what you hear put her on your shopping list. She has recorded a number of albums most of which are available on the major CD outlets. I "discovered" her about 3 years ago. She may not be everyone's "cuppa tea", as we anglophiles say, but if she appeals -- go for it. She was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1962 but moved with her family to Tokyo at the age of 10. From that time on she spent half
of every year in Japan, and half in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Her dad owned a club in Rio. After moving to Japan, Lisa's dad opened a new venue called Saci-Pererê, a Brazilian restaurant where she started performing mainly bossa nova and samba. Besides singing, Lisa
plays the guitar and is a songwriter. Her first album, Catupiry, was released in 1989. She hasn't stopped recording since then, releasing one disc a year, mostly in Portuguese.
She soon became famous in Japan after appearing in several TV commercials. For this 1999 CD, Lisa teams up with Oscar Castro-Neves, one of Brazil's best known bossa nova arrangers and composers. For this album the two decided to explore famous American songs and film music from the 1940s/50s, and recorded them with upbeat jazz and bossa nova arrangements. Songs are sung in English and Portuguese. "Pretty World" is another of her releases you may dig.
