A small but great collection of big band and crooner hits.......2003-03-09

It is bad enough that on every one of these Billboard albums put out by Rhino that they draw the line at only 10 tracks when you are dealing with a particular year (e.g., 1956) and a particular music genre (rock, pop, R&B, etc.). But when they put together one CD to represent an entire decade as they do for the 1930s for this second volume in the "Billboard Pop Memories" series, this self-imposed 10 song limit can be absolutely maddening. In the 1930s the big bands were on the rise and crooners like Rudy Vallee and his "Stein Song" were being replaced by the velvet tones of Bing Crosby and the classic "Pennies from Heaven." Look at what you have on this album: Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Artie Shaw. Fred Astaire singing "Night and Day," backed by Leo Reisman And His Orchestra, and the "studio" version of Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow." Out of these ten tracks there is only one that is less than stellar ("Deep Purple"), but the rest are gems. By the standard of these Billboard albums this is a great collection and hopefully at some point they will go back and offer up a second volume for the 1930s.

Album Description

JAZZ MEMORIES takes a trip back to the Golden Age of jazz. Clifford Brown and Max Roach were wailing away over at Basin Street. Thelonious Monk was holding court at the Five Spot. Count Basie's mighty orchestra was raising the temperature to the boiling point up at Birdland. It was a miraculous time when everyone from Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, to Swing Era sages like Roy Eldridge and Lester Young to bop innovators like Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker to second generation modernists like Miles Davis, Stan Getz and Clifford Brown were all alive and well and playing at their brilliant best.

A beautiful 72-page book offers unforgettable images of these jazz masters by the great photographer Herman Leonard, who was always there when the action was going down. Two CDs overflowing with extraordinary music, complement the sensitivity and artistry of these photographs, forming an audio-visual gallery of some of the finest, most soulful jazz ever recorded by over 30 of its greatest practitioners. Intimate session stories about each performance enrich the listener's experience by detailing exactly what went down in the studio while these recordings were taking place.

We are sure that all jazz fans will appreciate the extraordinary effort and love that have gone into the making of Jazz Memories.

Album Description

This Innerhythmic (Universal Special Markets) box set includes Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, Sarah Vaughn and more + 70 page book featuring renown jazz photographer Herman Leonard. Packaging dimensions - 10 x 8 x 1 inches.

Very Good Intro to American Art Songs.......2006-04-02

'My Native Land', a collection of 30 pieces sung by mezzo soprano Jennifer Larmore, accompanied on piano by Antoine Palloc is an excellent tutorial in the American art song. As the introduction states, the art song is as much or more at home in America than any other form of 'classical' music. This became quite clear to me the moment I realized that Stephen Foster's songs were as much of the style of Shubert as they were of native American gospel songs.

This makes it especially odd that there are no Stephen Foster songs on this album. I take this to be an effort on the part of the artist and her producers to focus on less familiar material and thereby educate us about Jake Heggie, Lee Hoiby, John Duke, Richard Hundley, Lora Aborn, John Jacob Niles, Robert Abramson and Charles Naginski and thereby concentrating on 20th century composers joining the better known Charles Ives, Samuel Barber, and Aaron Copeland.

Larmone is not my favorite mezzo and, like another reviewer, have found her doing things I did not totally enjoy, but it seems as if the material in this album fits her to a Tee. It makes me wish she would do a Stephen Foster album.

Recommended.

Excellent recording, lots of photos, partial texts........2005-06-09

I defer to the excellent review below, and to that in the December 1997 Gramophone 12/1997. Just a brief note for purchasers that, for reasons not totally justified by copyright concerns, only nine of the thirty sung texts are reproduced in the original Teldec release booklet - and none at all in the Elatus reissue. Generous total timing 74'58.

Terrific Songs, Great Artistry.......2000-09-25

In an effort to promote American culture abroad, I purchased this CD as a gift for a European friend. After two weeks of previewing it in my home, I'm keeping it for myself! Simply put, I can't remember the last time I have enjoyed a disc of songs as much as this one. No one is more surprised than me, since in the past I haven't always warmed to Larmore's singing, live or on record. Even here there are times when her vocal idiosyncrasies get in the way of what she wants to do. The lower register often takes on a strangely occluded quality, while some of her high notes slice the air with piercing shrillness. It's a highly accomplished voice that, to my ears, lacks consistent beauty. But to be fair, for much of this disc she sounds perfectly fine: a handsome, pleasingly dark sound, notable for its flexibility and legato.

What earns her five stars, however, is her artistry. She brings an arrestingly broad range of responses to this music. Like the nation that produced them, American songs are highly diverse, drawing from folk, European, religious, and pop idioms, to name just a few. Larmore is in full command of this diversity and alters her tone and delivery to bring each number home. Furthermore, she seems really to have read and thought about the texts. Every word counts. When the music can handle it, she lays it on thick and "acts" her way through the song, such as in Copland's "Ching a Ring" or Heggie's "Barb'ry Allen." But she wisely knows when to to hold back and let the melody carry the point, as in Barber's famous "Sure on this Shining Night" or Ives's "My Native Land." (Many accomplished Lieder singers never learn this lesson.) Once or twice she's a little off target (the first track, unfortunately), but this disc gave me a new respect for her art.

It helps that she's chosen such a fascinating group of songs. The Copland and Barber are well known, and recently Heggie is on everyone's lips, but much of the rest rarely makes it to disc. I particularly liked the gorgeous Aborn numbers, with their wistful sentimentality, and the quirky Duke pieces. Hundley's "Astronomers" is a haunting, unforgettable piece. Her inclusion of three Ives songs reminds us that it's time singers of her caliber returned to his oeuvre. Many of her choices stress different kinds of longing, that most American of emotions, but there's enough of a variety to prevent sameness. She also shines in several "patter songs," delivered with lightning wit. Palloc performs his role admirably.

I enthusiastically recommend this disc. Brava Jennifer!

Use Caution Before Purchasing***.......2005-07-17

There is no doubt that the MEMORIES Collection is a great budget source for classic tunes from the Best of The Best. However, heed caution before purchasing. This is one of the Biggest headaches in trying to get the correct title.

Samba Entertainment used the Same UPC [5028464000041] for most of the catalog, so you can actually receive any title. Anything from Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, Duke Ellington, etc... Before ordering from any Marketplace vendor, be sure to inquire the actual title they are offering as many vendors list there inventories by UPC only. This way you are not disappointed that you received the wrong title and it will prevent an unfaulted headache to the marketplace seller.

There is no blame to the seller, only the label. Regardless of the labels farst, they do offer a great product for a budget price. Collect them all... and enjoy!
