Album Description

The multitalented and beautiful Lena Horne kicked off her illustrious career in 1933 at age 16. She has recorded and performed with such legendary figures as Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw and Tony Bennett. The glamorous singer/actress was a sensation in Stormy Weather (1943); her rendition of the film's title track was her biggest hit and remains her signature song. A three-time Grammy winner, including a Lifetime Achievement Award, Horne made Broadway history with her electrifying one-woman show Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music, and was honored with a special Tony Award.

Warm and wonderful with a touch of history..........2002-04-12

I've always felt that the vibraphone was an even better way to introduce the skittish listener to jazz than say, the piano. There is something about vibes that just works for me, and has ever since I began to explore jazz recordings in my early teens. Who better on the vibes than Milt Jackson, who has been perfecting his craft for about 60 years? This collection was done in 1997, and the man does not sound "old", just skilled. The CD does not have the most interesting cover art, but the music is great. Jackson pays tribute to some of his favorite female vocalists by including their signature tunes, with singer Etta Jones frequently "subbing" for Ella, Dinah, Sarah, Billie and the rest. The drums, bass and piano parts are also handled well. A glance at the track listings tells you there are some great songs on here: "Lady Be Good" and "What a Difference a Day Made" and Ella Fitzgerald's first hit "A Tisket A Tasket" and even "Send in the Clowns." Good for a serious first listen with headphones, then great for background while you read or do housework or sit at a computer. If you like Milt Jackson, or the vibes in general, or the songs identified with those great vocalists mentioned above, you can't go wrong with this item.

Just for the song 'Only You'.......2002-09-30

I bought this album as soon as I saw it contained the song 'Only You'. It is their best song and one of my all time favorites. It is a post-Lionel Ritchie ballad with a soft piano intro and exit. It's worth the price of the cd just for this song. The lead vocal is great as well as the backup.

Great Price Great Music.......2000-08-16

Billie Holiday, Ages 18-22. Outstanding Collection!.......2006-10-25

It's a darn good thing that Billie Holiday didn't stop with the "Your Mother's Son-in-law," the first cut on this collection of Billie Holiday from 1933-1939/ That November 1933 track gives the impression that Ms. Holiday is a singer, limited to novelty music. Although `Son-in-Law' was performed with the Benny Goodman Orchestra, this was before Goodman became the "King of Swing" --only Jack Teagarden on trombone solos Contrary to the otherwise excellent liner notes, she's not really very "recognizable," she's actually stresses the final syllables rather than the usual slur or drop-off. It's a great historical track though: It was her first recording, arranged by the man who "discovered her," John Hammond. Holiday was just 18 years old.

Skip ahead to July 1935, and, oooo-ooo-oooo, what two little years can do. The album presents records 3 classic tracks from that month with Lady Day fronting the Teddy Wilson Orchestra, comprised of such greats as Roy Eldridge (who sounds superb here), Benny Goodman, Ben Webster (tenor sax), and some ahead of its time drumming by Cozy Cole (Chu Berry replaces Webster on an October 1935 recording of "If You Were Mine.) The horn soloists are in top form, and Holiday sounds confident and swinging, sounding even more ebullient than Wilson's usual thrills and trills piano. By the time of "A Fine Romance," in September 1936, Billie Holiday is in full form, using a coarser, somewhat flatter delivery that conveys the song's ironic, downbeat lyrics perfectly. Moreover, she's fronting the "Billie Holiday Orchestra," highlighted by Bunny Berigan (trumpet), Artie Shaw (clarinet), and Cozy Coles (drums).

Except for the opening number, all the tracks on performed by various permutations of either the Teddy Wilson or the Billie Holiday Orchestra. While "Lady" might sing the blues, she actually didn't perform too many numbers in a traditional blues-form. "Billie's Blues" is a little disappointing in its conventionality. Bunny Berigan gets an interesting sax growl out of his trumpet, and Artie Shaw on clarinet does little but hit some screaming high notes at the conclusion. "I Can't Give YOU Anything But Love" finds Teddy Wilson In a more decorous mood in his extended opening, but Holiday turns the song inside out, singing behind the beat, and conveying emotion with just the slightest bended note or a subtle gravelly sound.

The remaining 12 tracks feature her famous, simpatico partner, trumpeter Lester Young. His soft, flowing trumpet lines complement Billie's loose flowing style, as she and Young blend together on such songs such as "This Year's Kisses," "Mean to Me" and "Foolin' Myself," lifting them to extraordinary heights. Only her more mature voice of the mid-1940's is as well regarded as this period. "I Must Have That Man," sounds more like the later Billie, her voice is more smoky/raspy as she sings the role of the woman bound to her abusive man. "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," is a sheer delight, and Holiday seems to enjoy singing the Gershwin song. Joe Thomas replaces Young on this number. Billie how well she meshes with the band on "Mean to Me," which has Young on tenor, Johnny Hodges on alto, and Buck Clayton on trumpet. The last six cuts feature the rhythm section from the Count Basie Band (Basie was another Hammond discovery): Freddie Green (guitar), Walter Page (bass)) and Jo Jones. Most of the songs are 3 minutes or under , and they one wanting more. "Easy Living" is especially memorable, with almost continuous solo-like backing from Lester Young and clarinetist Buster Bailey. The band cooks just as much on the slightly hokey "Me. Myself, and I."

The album concludes with an excellent, archetypal recording of "He's Funny That Way," featuring extended backing by Lester Young and Holiday singing with great poignancy and vulnerability. Her control, dynamics, emotional expression, and phrasing are outstanding and unmatched. This is a glorious CD with excellent sound quality, brief, not particularly well-written, but informative liner notes by Scott Yanow, personnel and recording dates for each song, and a beautiful picture of the young Billie Holiday gracing the back cover. Add some later Holiday (Yanow recommends her mid- to late-1940's Decca sides in a short bio he wrote for "The American Music Guide), and you've got the start of a decent collection.

Gems- quite literally.......2000-03-02

This CD features a number of works which are quite simply stunning. The arrangement of Morricone's "Gabriel's Oboe" is hauntingly beautiful, and is sympathetically played by the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines. A surprisingly interesting track is the music from "Independance Day" which has a strong harmony and a "right good tune"! Enjoy!
