Customer Reviews:

Joy of Living/Love Is a Game of Poker.......2006-11-11

As an admirer of Nelson Riddle, I can only state that this CD is just great.

Fantastic Nelson.......2006-02-19

These various cds I bought show what a student of harmonics & theory Riddle must have been.I would have to say that he & Billy May must have fed from one to the other their years at Capitol.The originality & the use of the different insturments
merely emphasize the talent & knowledge Riddle had.

THE JOY OF LISTENING.......2002-02-12

might have been a better title considering who was writing the charts and swinging the baton here! Nelson Riddle's contributions to music in his lifetime are peerless. His charts for almost every singer who's recognized speak for themselves (Nat King Cole's UNFORGETTABLE, the countless sides of perfection for Frank Sinatra that ressurected his fading career in the 50's would span some 20+years, not to mention Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Al Martino, Peggy Lee, Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald, to name a meager few) As a trombone player with Charlie Spivak's big band, he was admittedly just OK, but as an arranger he had no equal. He could easilly chart a ballad or a swinger; or make one of the other. Here are two of Nelson's orchestral outings from the good people across the pond at Capitol's UK arm, EMI. Among the standouts here : JUNE IN JANUARY, with an infectious yet ever so slight swing to it, YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG, another chart he did with Sinatra, and Nelson's personal favorite song, INDIAN SUMMER. The overall mood on these first 12 sides is playful, gentleand light hearted swing. It is on the second half of the program, the GAME OF POKER sides that Mr. Riddle and the boys really let us have it. The sizzling speed of INDISCREET will have you amazed. And there is no tighter arrangement of brass in the world after you hear the flawless rendition of WITCHCRAFT here. Riddle himself penned a few of the tracks here (the elegant QUEEN OF HEARTS and the dazzling TWO HEARTS WILD, namely) and again, these sides were recorded almost three years after the first 12,(1959) so, if possible, Nelson was even MORE talented by this time (1962).
The good news for we Riddle fans is that EMI plans a similar "2fer" in late March featuring Nelson's two TV Theme albums on one great CD...watch for it! These EMI packages are among my favorite CDs in my collection; painstaking work on remastering is a given, and reproduction of liner notes and original artwork as always. Enjoy listening!

Nelson Riddle and 1960's Mood Music At Their Best!.......2000-07-18

This is an excellent album. Riddle's orchestrations of these beautiful songs only adds to their richness. I especially enjoy the "Love Is A Game of Poker" half of the album. Many up-beat tunes with swinging tempos.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE GREATEST NELSON RIDDLE CD........1999-04-02

I HAVE A LOT OF NELSON RIDDLE CDS AND THIS BY FAR HAS TO BE HIS GREATEST CD, I MEAN THE PORTION OF THE CD THAT APPLIES TO "THE JOY OF LIVING" , NOT THE PORTION THAT APPLIES TO "LOVE IS A GAME OF POKER" . OUT OF THE 12 SONGS LISTED I LIKED 10. I WISH THERE COULD BE MORE GREAT CDS LIKE THIS ONE!

proper pop music.......2002-12-26

I heard the title cut once on the radio and thought ' if the flaming lips were as good as critics tell us, this is what theyd sound like'. a gem.

rockin'!!.......2001-05-02

the title cut off this disc is probably the most enegetic thing the captain has done since the boo radleys "c'mon kids" record all those years back... so, in that way it's more like the boos than the other two brave captain records, but this little disc also furthers the captain's cause.. the two middle tracks are nice acoustic-based numbers while the fourth, "stronger" is ultra funky and... well, it's damn good! - - distorted basses, crazy dubby effects, moogie synths.. what more could you want? songs by the best song writer ever? well, here you go kids - worth the $$ and worth the wait.

Customer Reviews:

A good start but..........2006-02-01

As other reviewers have mentioned, this isn't quite complete. All of the grand marches, dirges, and (understandably as this was recorded in the 1950s) unavailable-at-the-time marches are missing. Some non-marches have been substituted, confusing the issue. However, this is the largest and most readily available compilation that goes beyond the "greatest hits" sets that so permeate the CD bins. (There IS a truly complete set, but it's only available in Japan, and for whatever reason, it's not being mass-imported to the States at the moment. Go figure.)
For now, I would recommend this to someone who has not purchased a lot of other Sousa CDs so as to avoid the inevitable overlap. You won't have everything, but there's a lot to enjoy here.

another march is missing.......2003-08-03

Hi
This album also lacks The Honored Dead
Bob Morecook

Close, but not QUITE complete.......2002-10-16

A very nice collection, with crisp performances. It is, however, not complete. There is at least one march, The Wedding March," missing, and it is one that is VERY hard to find. Perhaps the set should be called "The Almost, But Not Quite Complete, Sort Of, Marches....."
