Elton B yodelling.......2005-05-18

A good cd with many earlier recordings, as expected! Elton was a cracking good Yodeller in his hey day, there are some suprising yodelling tracks on this cd. I gained some new yodels to my collection although one may not realise that the songs are yodelling songs by the song titles. I was surprised & pleased to find new ones, well done even though this cd is not all yodelling, awaiting volume 2 - maybe there will be more yodelling tracks than on vol.(1)

Crooner or later..........2004-04-08

"Sinatra Rediscovered" the flash on the wrapper around this CD proudly proclaims. "Never-before-released tracks from Sinatra's early period newly discovered and available for the first time."

The striking cover of the CD has the word SINATRA in capitals, the singer's figure making the `I' of `Sinatra.' Reminiscent of a neon marquee sign, it looks like a scene from `Las Vegas Nights.'

`Birth of the crooner' is a clever title, too, with its pun intended, no doubt, on Miles Davis' `Birth of the Cool.' The whole point about Sinatra, though, is that he is most emphatically not a crooner. One of the most apposite adjectives I have ever heard applied to Sinatra's singing technique is the word `airless' because that is exactly what it was. Sinatra's revolution was to overturn the breathy, pigeon-chested delivery of the crooners - most notably Bing Crosby himself, of course - and to push all the air out of his vocals. This pneumatic delivery allied to a new, more naturalistic phrasing of the lyric was what was so new about Sinatra in 1940.

What we have here is the fourth volume of newly-released air-checks of Sinatra with Tommy Dorsey and his band released in the past ten years. The trend began with an additional disc of radio air-checks appended to the complete studio recordings of Sinatra-Dorsey released in 1994. Then we had two CDs of material released three or four years ago on the BMG subsidiary Buddha and now this latest volume which has been appropriated by Bluebird, the jazz label of BMG.

The disc is not as exciting as the previous two Buddha releases in terms of either content or sound quality which on the Buddha issues was astonishing. There are some very good quality recordings here too, though, particularly the opening number `You Walk By.' I have long associated this number with Glenn Miller since an air check version of the song was released by his band in the 1950s as part of the excitement generated by the release of The Glenn Miller Story. The Dorsey version is new to me, though, and - as is the case in virtually all of the songs both vocalists attempted - Sinatra's version far outshines that of Miller vocalist Ray Eberle who certainly was a crooner of the old school.

Actually, this is part of the problem for me with listening to Sinatra's recordings with a dance band. With Ray Eberle and Glenn Miller or Sinatra's predecessor Jack Leonard with Dorsey, this was as good as it was going to get. Those two singers were of their time and of that era. They were `on song' as part of that dance band package. When one listens to a pre-war Sinatra recording, in contrast, one usually listens with the knowledge of `Songs for Swingin' Lovers,' `...sings for Only The Lonely' or even Columbia's `The Voice.' Because of my early fascination with Glenn Miller's music, I heard all of Sinatra's recordings with Dorsey before I ever came to Capitol and Reprise. As someone once said, though, you can't go back and having subsequently heard Sinatra's mature work, it's a difficult job then going even further back. In the exercise of your historical imagination, you can give yourself a hernia if you're not careful!

`You Walk By' is one of the highlights of the collection, though. So, too, for different reasons is `This Love Of Mine.' The studio recording is notoriously `boxy' in its sound even when filtered on CD for the digital age. To hear Dorsey-era Sinatra sing this standard with the clarity of a good off-the-air acetate is astounding. Sinatra fans would want this disc in their collection for this recording alone.
`Stardust' achieves similar breath-taking clarity and having heard the familiar studio version so many times on countless compilations, it is quite disorientating to hear it in an - albeit only slightly - different version. Too many of the tracks on this set, though, are `live' versions of studio material which sound neither sufficiently different from the originals to be worth hearing nor are they in any higher fidelity than the studio takes. Why, then, include ` The One I Love' yet again or fluff like `I'll Take Tallulah.'

True, the version of `Snootie Little Cutie' is immeasurably improved by the substitution of Jo Stafford for Connie Haines. Having heard Miss Haines in decent fidelity for the first time ever, though, elsewhere on this disc, singing in one of several medleys included, I will have to revise my opinion of her singing which - again on poor quality studio recordings of the period - usually sounds so nasal and annoying. Her singing is much better than that! Another non-Sinatra gem from a complete medley is Jo Stafford singing `You're a Sweetheart' in a full band arrangement redolent of the Clambake Seven original.

Annoyingly, the Sinatra-only portion of the medleys is included once or twice, editing out the other two tunes, which is taking devotion to The Voice to its extremes. Sinatra addict as I am, I would prefer to hear him in context. RCA's original `Sentimental Gentleman' LPs of many years ago is the model for dance-band issues such as this. At one point, Tommy Dorsey himself says, `It's not Frank Sinatra and his Orchestra yet.' `Yet,' the announcer echoes ominously. Yet. Looking at the billing on this CD (`with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra' in small letters at the bottom of the cover - not even Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra, already!) - TD's worst fears were confirmed. He is all set in the twenty-first century to be just a footnote in the Frank Sinatra story.
Compiled and annotated by Sinatra authority Will Friedwald, this disc adds a valuable new chapter to that story and is a must-have for the serious Sinatra collector.

One of America's Best Crooners.......2007-05-12

Alan Dale had a beautifully mellow voice which is nicely showcased on this album. He was so talented. We would be very interested in any other collection of his. We know he was a band singer with Carmen Cavallero's Orchestra for a while. Are there any recordings from that era?

Album Description

In the 40s and 50s, at the legendary Forbidden City nightclub in San Francisco, which featured all-Asian entertainers, Larry Ching was a star attraction, dubbed "the Chinese Sinatra." Now, just six decades later, he makes his first CD, with Ben Fong-Torres, the former editor and writer at Rolling Stone, serving as producer. Backed by a stellar three-piece combo, Larry sings personal favorites from the great American songbook, plus several that evoke his native Hawaii. The CD includes four bonus tracks, songs Larry recorded as demos sometime in the 40s that were never released ... until now.

Decepcionante.......2001-04-06

Gosto muito do trabalho do Milton Nascimento mas este CD em particular eh algo que nao vai ficar na minha memoria. As interpretacoes em Ingles constrangem. As demais refletem o comportamento burocratico de quem faz um trabalho sem se empenhar, sem raca, sem brilho. Do Milton requeiro mais.

Milton se dió un gusto.......2000-06-19

Todo lo que canta Milton es hermoso. Cualquier melodía, en su voz, es espléndida. Aquí se dió el gusto de elegir un repertorio muy diverso (desde "Frenesí", de Alberto Domínguez hasta "Beat it" de Michael Jackson), de contratar un gran arreglador y orquestador (Wagner Tiso), de grabar en Londres con la orquesta de Graham Preskett, de ponerse un smoking y dedicarse sólo a cantar. El resultado es un disco de una calidad indiscutible, pero un poco frío, con un Milton no tan suelto al cantar en español o en inglés. Se extrañan sus composiciones y su sonido más "brasileiro". Pero "Bituca" se quiso dar el gusto de ser Crooner y se lo merece. Lo mejor: la versión de "Mas que nada" de Jorge Ben.
