Modern Antique

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Robin Mc Kelle

Release Date August 19, 2008
I was wandering through a local bookstore the other day and heard this amazing music playing in the background. I immediately stopped in my tracks and asked the first employee that I saw who it was. I was directed towards the music section and was shown this CD of Robin McKelle.

I had never heard of this singer before, but after listening to just a couple of the tracks I was immediately hooked. I remember telling the sales clerk that the "vibe" I was getting was simply intoxicating.

If you're into vocal jazz or big band music, you will not be disappointed!

Joni Mitchell - Collectors Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
starring: Joni Mitchell

Release Date January 11, 2005
I first heard Joni Mitchell's music when I was 16, and my admiration for her talent has never wandered away. I suspect most fans would admit, even unconsciously, that her art is an integral part of our lives. This dual edition is wonderful -- to actually hear her speak at some length and view chunks of her personal history. I have waited many years for this. It is like finally meeting a life-long pen pal in the flesh, and discovering you appreciate them more than before. The display of her paintings, combined with her music, convinced me she is channeling little chunks of Van Gogh, Beethoven, and all the inquisitive and brilliant hearts that have ever roamed the earth. If you are a fan, you should get this. If you aren't one yet -- you should ... Read More:

The Best of the Song Books

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Ella Fitzgerald

Release Date September 21, 1993
I've listened to the other songbooks and this CD is the only one I can listen to without skipping around. I loved this CD from the first time I heard it. Ella Fitzgerald has one of the best singing voices I've ever heard and I never get tired of this album. I've had it for about ten years and it's still one of the CD's I play the most.

Ella and Louis

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong

Release Date March 07, 2000
...this would be one of the 5 CDs I'd take with me out of the 700+ I own. This is standards jazz at its greatest. It not only features two of the best and most iconic jazz vocal interpreters of all time, but also people like Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown and Herb Ellis as the swinging and relaxed musicians, with Armstrong on the trumpet, of course. Jazz takes many forms as it evolves, but this is the sweet, plain vanilla flavor that never goes out of style. The joy that went into making it is palpable and you can see it just on the cover picture. This is great to play in any setting: car, home, dinner. A great introduction to anyone who is interested in learning about jazz.
