Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Frank Sinatra

Release Date October 25, 1990
There are two occupations where retirement announcements mean very little, music and boxing.

And for Frank Sinatra, it would have made sense that his retirement from the music business in 1971 to truly be the final chapter. At that point, the singer - who single-handedly created modern pop phrasing and had been an entertainment icon since the 1940s - had no more mountains to climb, since he created the high peaks & easily scaled them, while others watched in wonderment.

But he returned with a flurry in 1973, with these nine numbers that were recorded between June and August. Four songs were penned by Joe Raposo, including the bittersweet, There Used to Be a Ballpark, with the arrangements by Gordon Jenkins and Don ... Read More:

Playin' with My Friends: Bennett Sings the Blues

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Tony Bennett

Release Date November 06, 2001
Playin' with My Friends: Bennett Sings the Blues is a great CD. This album has wonderful duets between Tony Bennett and many of his best contemporaries. This is a fine album for Tony Bennett fans; and the quality of the sound couldn't be better. The artwork is very nicely done and the duets feature a broad diversity of artists with whom Tony performs.

"Alright, Okay, You Win" has Tony Bennett singing with the great Diana Krall; together they make this number shine more brightly than ever before! Diana is in excellent form and her vocals complement Tony's performance very well; and the jazzy arrangement works wonders for this classic tune. Great! "Everyday (I Have The Blues)" features Tony Bennett singing with Stevie Wonder; they both sound ... Read More:

Recently saw the London show which was fantastic and remember the original well. Not as good as the original but I still get lost in the great music and singing. Can't get the original? This is the next best thing.

My Way

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Frank Sinatra

Release Date October 25, 1990
This is probably Frank Sinatra's best during his second wind. Not only does he do a few standards, but also a few songs that were popular at the time the album was release. 5 out of 5 stars.

The Complete Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Release Date June 16, 1997
This 3-CD set is in my collection because I didn't have any Louis Armstrong or any Ella Fitzgerald at the time I bought it, so I envisioned my purchase of this compilation as a "two birds with one stone" sort of acquisition. I didn't know what to expect because, while I knew enough about the artists, I couldn't help but think any Louis Armstrong recording was going to bring on images of a hand-cranked Victrola and scratchy, one dimensional sound. This is anything but. The recordings are, for the most part, crisp and clear. No one will ever mistake them for modern recordings, but no music fan could turn his or her nose up at the more than adequate renderings achieved here. In addition to a lot of great Louis, great Ella, and some classic versions of a number of jazz and swing era standards, ... Read More:
