Twentysomething

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Jamie Cullum

Release Date May 11, 2004
Jamie has a voice like silk and considering he is at the beginning of his career, well he's definately one to watch.
I've been listening to his album for months and there are a few songs that grow on you and you end up loving even though the initial impact isn't earth-shattering. On the other hand there are a great many songs that just bowl you over the first time you hear them. The covers he does are great and doing covers is always risky since they are rarely better than the original... but not a problem for Mr Cullum. He just breathes new life into them.

Having also seen him live at Kenwood House (and anyone there will tell you)- I haven't walked away from a gig feeling so inspired and with such a huge grin on my face. ... Read More:

Dinah's style and execution are amazing and Quincy Jones' orchestra is about the tightest thing I've ever heard. You should have this album!

Imagina: Songs of Brasil

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Karrin Allyson

Release Date March 25, 2008
.............never heard of Karryn Allison until just now? I am nearly 60 years old and love love love "musica brasileira" from almost anyone who can pull off a good recording. This CD is just amazing, and I've heard lots of artists try to record these songs.
I spent 2 years in Brasil many years ago and loved what I heard so have always loved the music. Karryn has a great voice and I am going to go seek out other things she has done.
Great CD!!

Betcha Bottom Dollar

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Puppini Sisters

Release Date May 01, 2007
The Puppini Sisters' debut album "Betcha Bottom Dollar" is a great throwback to the sounds of such groups as the Andrews Sisters or the King Sisters. What is amazing about these ladies is not only do they do the standards that are most loved, but they take contemporary pop tunes, such as "I Will Survive" and "Heart Of Glass", and apply the 1940's style to them. If you like such singers as Diana Krall or Renee Olstead, then you should check these ladies out. They multiply those singers to the power of three.

Songs for Swingin' Lovers!

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Frank Sinatra

Release Date September 08, 1998
Yep I love Frank, just about anything he has ever done sits well with me BUT, this CD here, well it ranks right at the top. Nelson Riddle and Frank were perfect together. The cooking chemistry between these two was nothing short of brilliant and it all fit perfect in this collection of songs. The two cranked out many albums together in the mid and late 50s, all wonderful in their own way (Moonlight Sinatra is my favorite mid 60's), but this one has to be the at the top. Franks chops were in their prime, the selection of songs and Riddles orchestrations, perfect fit.

With a Riddle/Sinatra song you know right off before the singing starts if Riddle arranged the song. Just the introduction speaks volumes. Don't get me wrong, Billy May ... Read More:

Robin Trower - Living Out of Time: Live

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
starring: Robin Trower

Release Date February 21, 2006
I was pleasantly surprised--yeah, even shocked--at Trower's near perfect delivery. This recording is like discovering classic Trower all over again. Beware: you may be tempted dawn headphones and blow some eardrums out. Simply put, a must-have. Save for Pink Floyd's PULSE, Trower's LIVING OUT OF TIME: LIVE is my favorite live DVD.

-------------------

ASIDE: "Living Out of Time: LIVE", which is also issued in CD form, is NOT a live version of the studio CD "Living Out Of Time." That said, the latter ("Living Out Of Time") is a fantastic CD, saturated with classic Trower energy. I got the two confused, but I'm glad I did--I mistakenly wound up with both wonderful recordings.

Songs of Sinatra

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Steve Tyrell

Release Date November 08, 2005
If you're a Steve Tyrell fan (I am - I have all his stuff now), you'll appreciate this one. No big surprises, just smooth, solid performances.

The only reason he doesn't get five stars is purely out of respect for Frank.
