When one thinks of musicals from Hollywood's golden age, the initials MGM come almost instantly to mind. Indeed when veteran song-and-dance man George M. Cohan was negotiating a film based on his colorful life story, his first choice was Metro--until a falling out with studio chief Louis B. Mayer. But L.B.'s loss eventually became Warner Brothers'--and film history's--gain when the Burbank studio's Cohan musical became a massive, patriotic hit in the opening months of World War II. As chronicled in this vibrantly restored, first-ever complete soundtrack for the film, it was a compelling twist of fate. James Cagney turns in one of the screen's most ostensibly unlikely--and ultimately indelible--musical performances (netting him his only Best Actor Oscar ®), teaming with studio music director Roy Heindorf to update Cohan's once-quaint turn-of the-century patriotic ditties ("You're a Grand Old Flag," "Over There," "Yankee Doodle Boy") and infectious vaudevillian chestnuts ("Give My Regards to Broadway," "Harrigan") with bracing dollops of the studio's '40s orchestral sass--and, just months after Pearl Harbor, some crucial historical parallels. Also included are four bonus tracks that remarkably survived the film's preproduction, including an outtake of "You Remind Me of My Mother" and voice-and-piano-only rehearsal versions of "Give My Regards to Broadway" and "You're a Grand Old Flag" that further underscore Cagney's deceptively effortless ability to sell a song despite his limited musical gifts. It's a long overdue showcase for a true American film musical gem. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:
Yankee Doodle Dandy Review.......2006-11-03
Yankee Doodle Dandy.......2006-06-30
Amazing! Wonderful! Just buy it - you won't be sorry!.......2005-03-05
I am so very glad I bought this CD. I own the DVD of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and watch it all the time, so I almost didn't buy this, wondering if I really needed yet another CD.
Well, thank God I didn't pay any attention to that dumb idea!
If you love "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and Cagney, you just have to buy this soundtrack. It's like being able to take the movie with you anywhere ... it's not just the songs - as others have said - but also includes bits of Cagney's voice-overs, even the tap-dancing from the end of "Little Johnny Jones." And since the audio system in my car is better than my TV's, it all seemed even bigger, richer and better. (George M. would love that!)
Wonderful, wonderful stuff!
What a find!!.......2003-06-15
Monumental effort must have gone into this soundtrack, given the age of the original recordings. The tracks here are crisp, clear, and bright, with no evidence of how long ago they were first put down. The editors were also generous in their inclusion of dialogue that ties some of the tracks together (for example, we hear the man tell Johny Jones to watch for the skyrocket, then we hear the skyrocket as it leads into "Give My Regards to Broadway"). There are a couple of places where the endings are slightly abrupt but this is because, in the movie, the music fades into extended dialogue.
The only bit of dialogue I expected to hear in a song, but didn't, is in "Over There" near the very end of the film, when Cagney/Cohan has fallen in step with the soldiers going off to WWII, as they're singing "Over There", when the soldier nearest him says something like, "What's wrong, old timer, don't know the words?" and Cagney says, "Seems to me I do" and starts singing along. That's minor and pales next to how wonderful the rest of this soundtrack is.
One of the biggest treats on this CD is that we get to hear some of Cagney's tapping, notably in "Give My Regards to Broadway", "You're a Grand Old Flag", and - one of my favorite moments in movie history - when he dances down the White House stairs to "Yankee Doodle" near the end).
The outtake is not a humorous one, simply a track they decided not to use. It and the rehearsal tracks are all just the performers voices with piano accompaniment. I especially enjoyed hearing Cagney rehearsing "You're a Grand Old Flag".
If you like Cagney, if you like Cohan's music, if you like movies "the way they used to make them", or if you're not ashamed to get a little choked up with patriotism once in a while, you will not be disappointed in this CD!

Wynton Kelly was a relatively new member of the Miles Davis band when he made this 1959 session, but he had already formed a strong musical partnership with bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb. The trio would stay together long after their departure from the Davis band and a further tenure with Wes Montgomery. Kelly was an original stylist, who had a lyrical and economical approach and a way of insinuating the blues into everything he touched. You can feel it here in the moving "Willow Weep for Me" and the bright takes on "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise" and "On Green Dolphin Street," just getting established as standards in the jazz repertoire and getting distinctive treatments here. His light, flowing lines are well matched by Cobb's spare accents and Chambers's own melodic bass. Benny Golson on tenor, Bobby Jasper on flute, and Nat Adderley on cornet join in to make up a powerful sextet on the extended title tune and two takes of another Kelly original, "Keep It Moving." It's apparent how much Kelly's comping could add to a soloist's work. --Stuart BroomerCustomer Reviews:
Outstanding.......2007-06-19
pinch hitter gets to start a game, for once.......2006-12-10
Real blues by the masters...... what more can we expect........2005-09-29
is earthly and Wynton Kelly sound very rich and vibrant.Accompanied by two of other members from Miles band.The outstanding bassit P.Chambers and the most promising drummer J.Cobb.The band displays a notable blues feeling and added,Bobby Jasper offers the warmest flute sound in jazz today.A must for this rare talent by the best fine jazzmen....
My first Wynton disc!.......2002-11-21
"Softly As the Morning Sunrise" begins with a beautiful bass ostinato compliments of ubiquitous 50s/60s bassist Paul Chambers. The rest slowly join in and Kelly sets the tone with his appealingly bouncy accompaniment. Likewise, "On Green Dolphin Street" works well around Chambers' two-note vamp and walking bass line. Jimmy Cobb is solid -as always- in his restrained and graceful timekeeping. "Willow Weep For Me" and "Old Clothes" are also great tunes; very earthy, very relaxed. Not a dull note is struck here, everything fits together in swinging fashion. It's funny how some albums and artists are so overshadowed by others; Kelly has crafted an album every bit as good as Sonny Clark's COOL STRUTTIN', yet I'm betting most people -even Jazz fans- are not familiar with KELLY BLUE. Well there's no time like the present.
Highly recommended.

On this recording your listening to a very young Wynton Kelly.Considered by many as probably the greatest sideman in the buisness,and amoung a handful of the great pianist in Jazz History.After making a name for himself working with Dinah Washington(1955-57),the word spread quickly about Wynton's talents.He worked with the Dizzy Gillespie orchestra during 1957.Then came his famous stint with Miles Davis between 1959-1963.After leaving his tenure with Miles he took the rest of the rhythm section,Paul Chambers(bass)and Jimmy Cobb(drums),to form his own trio,frequently backing Wes Montgomery(quitarist).Always a finesse accompanist,he frequently took on freelance work until his untimely and premature death at age 39.It is very refreshing to here Wynton at the age of 20 performing these classics standards.This album is a unique listen.A genius in the early stages of his illustrious career.Wynton always has that optimistic aura about him,regardless of the tempo.Enjoy.Health and Happiness
Wynton Kelly was born in Jamaica of West Indian parents on December 2,1951.

Perhaps I should start by admitting a bias: Many years ago, lying on Boston's grassy Esplanade by the Charles River on warm summer nights, I learned what a symphony orchestra should sound like, with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra. Those concerts were free; these seven compact discs are not--not quite. But for any lover of light classical music, they are certainly one of the best buys available. The orchestra (essentially the Boston Symphony) is one of the world's greatest; the music, from Smoke Gets in Your Eyes to the Goyescas Intermezzo and Ride of the Valkyries is instantly enjoyable and permanently valuable; the conductor is at the same time genial and exacting, convinced that any music you play, no matter how frivolous, deserves the best you can give it. --Joe McLellanCustomer Reviews:
