Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Irresistible.......2005-07-29

From beginning to end this CD is pure delight. A great recording has great music, a great performance, and great sound; this one scores on all three counts.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals dominated Broadway in the 1940s and 1950s, and American musical theater has produced no more consistently eloquent and durable voice than Richard Rodgers. From his fertile genius flowed a surprising number of memorable songs, many of which have passed into and become an accepted and beloved part of modern American culture.

This well-filled CD (77:36) features symphonic arrangements (all but two by Robert Russell Bennett) of the music from Oklahoma (1943), Carousel (1945), State Fair (1945), South Pacific (1949), The King and I (1951), Flower Drum Song (1958), and The Sound of Music (1959). All the great tunes are here in suites from each musical that average 10-12 minutes in length. The arrangements are expert: rich, varied, and colorful. The performances are polished, idiomatic, and irresistible; Kunzel and this orchestra are thorough masters of this kind of material. And Telarc's sound (recorded 1991) is state-of-the-art (engineer Michael Bishop deserves to take a bow).

In short, there's nothing here to cloud your listening pleasure (the only quibble I can imagine is that some of your favorites may not last long enough), so it's hard for me to envision anyone with ears and a taste for music who wouldn't enjoy this CD. Warmly recommended. Finally, if you like this one as much as I do, you might want to know that the same team has produced a companion volume, the Lerner & Lowe Songbook for Orchestra.

"Some Enchanted Evening" with Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops.......2003-12-26

Erich Kunzel's Rodgers and Hammerstein anthology with the Cincinatti Pops Orchestra is one of the best and most ravishing instrumental Rodgers and Hammerstein albums of all time. With sumptuous arrangements and warm, natural Telarc recording, this glorious 77-minute CD presents sweeping, melodic arrangements of over 60 Rodgers and Hammerstein selections, spanning eight scores, and Kunzel allows the Pops to play with a characterful and polished understanding of the Rodgers and Hammerstein idiom. The disc is enough to cheer you up on a dull day and make you smile, and it might even want to make you feel like a convert to Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals.

This CD has all the scores arranged chronologically. The OKLAHOMA! suite that opens this disc promises a feast for the senses, Kunzel ably evokes the territory's "bright, golden haze" in the way he conducts the various excerpts, until you feel the atmosphere of the country charm of the show, and the love-affair between Curly and Laurey. Then, in CAROUSEL, he ably evokes the pathos of this tragic R&H masterwork, especially in the truncated Waltz, but he leads a wonderfully melodic "June is Bustin' Out All Over" and a devotional "You'll Never Walk Alone." Although this suite does not include Billy's pivotal Soliloquy, it includes "If I Loved You" as an expression of his love for Julie, and within minutes you could be soaked in the ups and downs of the show's mood.

After a brief STATE FAIR suite, with sweeping renditions of "It Might As Well Be Spring" and "It's a Grand Night for Singing", we are brought into the disc's showstopping highlights. These highlights are the excerpts from SOUTH PACIFIC, THE KING AND I, and THE SOUND OF MUSIC. But yet Kunzel conducts the rest of the disc until the various suites amount to a series of showstoppers. These three suites present wonderfully-arranged versions of their many familiar classic songs, with well-played solos. The SOUTH PACIFIC suite presents the songs in chronological order, yet preserves the atmosphere of the show at the same time. Kunzel ably brings out the romance in "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Younger than Springtime," and contrasts it with the exotic and dreamlike "Bali Hai'i" and the comic "There is Nothing like a Dame" and "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair". Although the suite ends quietly with a reprise of "Dites-Moi" rather than the reprise of "Some Enchanted Evening," within minutes we are swept into the KING AND I suite. Kunzel ably brings out the Oriental pathos in this score, and he captures the warmth of Anna's rapport with the King's Siamese children in "Getting to Know You", and with the King himself in "Shall We Dance." There is also romance in the love ballads "I Have Dreamed" and "We Kiss in a Shadow." Similarly, in the selection from THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Kunzel conducts this until the orchestra soaks itself in the atmosphere of this Austrian R&H score. This SOUND OF MUSIC suite has more of a feel of the score compared to the bonus track on Sony's reissued version of the Broadway recording. You can almost feel as if you are following the progress of the Trapp family and how it lifts its spirits with the joy of music. Kunzel gives us a soaring version of the title song, and spirited versions of "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favourite Things." He balances it with the open-air quality of "Edelweiss" and "The Lonely Goatherd." Although this suite could have included "Something Good," the love ballad written for the film, the three recollections of the songs that were cut from the movie only last for a while. And, the towering version of "Climb Every Mountain" crowns this portion of the disc, and this sumptuously-produced recording. But, I should also mention the infectuous FLOWER DRUM SONG medley, where Kunzel turns this underrated score into a work of art, until it convinces you to buy the cast recording. And, don't forget about the brief CINDERELLA WALTZ, too, when Kunzel conducts it magically, until you feel like you are in the company of Cinderella and the Prince. He is able to show how this R&H score marked a comeback for R&H after the failiures of Me and Juliet, and Pipe Dream.

Overall, this glorious Rodgers and Hammerstein recording is guarunteed to make you want to pucker your lips out for a whistle or sing along (to paraphrase another revew for Kunzel's Disney Spectacular disc) - even if this recording is music only, and as long as you know the words to the songs (and you might know a large handful of them already.) There is always a certain magic in this fine CD that makes you feel like you're sitting in the theatre watching these musicals, until it makes you feel like it is truly, to borrow two R&H song titles, "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Something Wonderful" to be in Kunzel's company for this R&H offering. It would certainly be one recording that could make you feel willing to buy the complete cast recordings of the shows. And I guaruntee that it will make you feel willing to pull out your existing copies of the cast recordings to listen to them again. I also guaruntee that it will be a cornerstone in any Rodgers and Hammerstein collection, just as it is in mine. Recommended heartily to any Rodgers and Hammerstein enthusiast and to fans of Erich Kunzel's work. And, you can play it while reading the Richard Rodgers biography, Musical Stages, until Rodgers himself would count this as his favourite disc in the afterlife.

By the way, most of the arrangements for the suites on this CD were done by the veteran R&H orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett, and it surely adds to the appeal of this recording. This itself is enough to amount to the icing on the cake, since Kunzel conducts them well on here, and since this recording still allows the suites to have the original theatrical atmosphere. And, although this recording is like the Mauceri collection of the Rodgers & Hammerstein overtures in compiling orchestral suites of Rodgers & Hammerstein, I think that I like the Kunzel recording even more because Kunzel has more magic in his conducting of these suites.

Excellent!.......2003-04-08

This is one of the best Erich Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops collections we own! A must for Rodgers and Hammerstein fans, too.

Great Arrangments.......2001-09-02

Amazon.com

This 1961 date is one of the genuinely classic Blue Note hard-bop sessions. Trumpeter Dorham is joined by tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, once his frontline partner in the original Jazz Messengers, the underrated pianist Kenny Drew, and one of the finest rhythm teams ever to play jazz, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The immediate distinguishing mark is Dorham's writing. Though only his "Blue Bossa" has become a jazz standard, he was a serious writer, not someone who merely dashed off casual heads. His tunes here have substance, like the sparkling blues "Buffalo" and the evocative, modal "Sunset" with its sudden piano punctuations under the theme. The title tune contrasts eerie dissonance with a snapping bop line, and "Sunrise in Mexico" orchestrates bass and piano into the theme. The concluding "Dorham's Epitaph," at little more than a minute, has an unadorned majesty. Dorham and Mobley shared a forceful lyricism and a rare camaraderie, and there are moments in "Sunrise" when Dorham's half-valves even suggest Mobley's round tenor sound. Jones makes a special contribution, adding a propulsive spark and a constant stream of detail. --Stuart Broomer

Customer Reviews:

one of the best.......2006-09-29

many blue notes start out strong but don't quite finish at the same level. this is an album that gets better as it goes along and better with every listen (though different sounding, it's kinda like 'page one' is this regard). definitely in the top handful of records on this label. composed entirely by the leader.

For Musicians (and Listeners Who Think Like Musicians).......2006-05-23

Kenny Dorham was the thinking person's trumpet player, a musician who eschewed the passionate romanticism of Clifford, the dramatic flare of Lee, and the brassy virtuosity of Freddie in favor of unfailing melodic logic and economical lyricism, lightened by a frequently playful, puckish approach. He lets the music come to him, using his smallish yet centered, round sound to deconstruct and then reconstruct its most essential phrases into gemlike solos. Notice how smoothly he connects the 12-bar choruses on the opening blues--his phrasing virtually erases structural markers. The title tune, "Whistle Stop," is a striking example of Dorham's deceptive technique and clean articulations along with his vocal expressiveness on the horn. "Sunset in Mexico," based on a single G minor scale, features a beautifully arranged out-chorus preceded by a simple yet ingenious Dorham solo that neither Mobley nor Drew has an answer for.

Hank Mobley was the perfect frontline companion for Dorham, employing a similar commitment to melody and to making musical sense out of the materials at hand. Neither of these guys ever played with an "agenda," which may have contributed to their relative obscurity but insured the freshness and vitality of their art. Hank, in fact, had just joined Miles Davis at the time of this recording and comes as close as I've ever heard him to overshadowing the sound of the trumpet. Listen to his opportunistic choices on Dorham's "Windmill," one of the more complex melodies based on "Sweet Georgia Brown" chord changes.

As recent or current bandmates of Hank's, Philly Joe and Paul Chambers are definitely the right choices for the rhythm section, and it's hard to think of any Blue Note session from this period on which Kenny Drew would have been a bad choice. Finally, it should be noted that "Whistle Stop" contains an all-Dorham program and, despite omitting "Blue Bossa," displays the trumpeter's compositional talents perhaps better than any other recording (besides the melodic heads, notice especially his inventive little set-ups and codas).

Whistle Stop, by Kenny Dorham.......2005-04-17

This is a classic 1950's hard bop Blue Note recording. It's tremendous from start to finish. One of Dorham's best recordings; Whistle Stop hosts some of the best playing by Dorham on record.

The grooving soulful sensation of Philly Twist sets the mood for this wonderful cut. Helping out Dorham is tenor man Hank Mobley, pianist Kenny Drew, of course Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.

One of the most soulful tracks I ever heard is Buffalo. Drenched in the blues, this track is grooving in every-which-way! I just get down and groove to this tune. Philly's ride pattern just makes the piece even more hip.

The next track, Sunset is a tune with latin feel. The bebop influences wrap themselves around the latin influences, and then Dorham takes the first solo, with a mute. It's one of his best solos on the album. Everyone else's are fabulous too.

The swinging tunes, Whistle Stop and Windmill are taken up at a nice tempo. One other unique tune is Sunrise In Mexio, and the album closes with Dorham's Epitaph.

This is a classic album. With such great musicians, such great material, and such a classic label, (Blue Note) this album is a magnificent record!

But really 3.5.......2004-06-21

Yesterday I decided I was going to review this disc and Lee Morgan's Sonic Boom, with the full intention of giving the bigger nod to this one. Last night I was in the mood for both again so I had one last listen, and really enjoyed Sonic Boom more. Ahhhh, nothing like the subjectivity of opinions and feelings. =)

First off, this is a short one at 38 minutes. When I consider that there are a couple of the songs that I don't like very much (Philly Twist and Epitaph), it makes it even shorter.

Still though, this is a very good album and worth your time. For one thing, it has some of my favorite playing ever by Hank Mobley. He just has that whole warm, liquid silk thing going to full effect here. I love how so often he seems unexcitable. He can remain calm and weave a lovely lyrical pattern without thinking that every solo has to have a big peak or a frenzied torrent of blustery hooplah. I guess I'm saying that he was great at the art of understated beauty.

In a sense, I can say the same for Dorham's own playing. I've always liked that he wasn't as flashy and brassy as some of the more famous trumpet players.

It would have been nice if there were some alternate takes here, to hear the band think about and play a few of these tunes in other ways, just to give us a glimpse into what else could have been (as well as filling out the minutes a little more), but this is still a very nice little album. Besides that, I love Sunrise In Mexico on all counts. It's tough for me to be disappointed in a disc when there is something on it I enjoy as completely as Sunrise.

Dorham Short Prime!!!.......2003-06-25

This lp, was recorded during his most famous years wich weren't that famous and didn't last that long. He's an understatment trumpeter. Without a doubt, Philly Twist is the best, and Buffalo, is the most souful track. The others are all at the same level of greatness, but the ones I mentioned stand out for me. It's one of My favorite records, but can only play it every once in a while. Every time I do play it, It's great. The intros and codas show Dorham's skill for writing. Philly Joe is one of the primary sources of inspiration for this date. Get it, you'll love it if you like classic blowin' sessions done in Rudy Van Gelder's studio and for Blue Note in the mid fifties, and early sixties.

Just a great CD.......2001-01-09

I have owned this CD for a while, and I find myself returning to it over and over again. It's my favorite companion. . . the CD I choose when I need company while I write, or think, or rest. If you love Ellis Marsalis (and who doesn't?), you've got a headstart in loving this CD. But beyond that, it's a nice selection of songs arranged with a nod to the past and a look at today, all in the right order. Some CDs have some good songs; some CDs are just great compilations, and this one is in the latter category.

The master at the top of his game........1999-07-23

There are so many reasons to recommend buying this CD, such as the fact that this disc introduces us to Jason Marsalis, or the fact that this is one of the least obnoxious performances Branford Marsalis has ever recorded. But the only thing that matters here is Ellis, the venerable old master of the jazz piano. Here, he is released from the moldy old covers that appear all too frequently on his other works. Here are the tunes that he helped compose with Mr. Black in the 60's. As Ellis himself was rediscovered, so too has he rediscovered his own ability to be daring and really put out a recording with bite. The absoluste BEST thing about this recording, however, is the last song, "When We First Met", a piano solo. This is a song for which words were written, but never recorded. The fascinating thing is that none are NEEDED. You actually seem to hear the lyrics as Ellis plays the song. Amazing. It's like remembering and loving an old classic, but one that you've never heard before.

We have so much to thank Mr. Marsalis for... let us all hope he continues to produce such vital music in the future.

The best whistling I've ever heard !.......2005-09-05

This is a fantastic set of Whistle tunes played superbly. The best penny whistling I've heard.

A Classic!.......2000-05-14

Brian Hughes is a virtuoso of the Irish whistle: "Whistle Stop" displays that virtuosity in a major showcase of technical skill and Irish Whistle style. There are some great, well-known session tunes included in the 14 tracks, and some astounding back-up playing, particularly Jimmy Cahill on Tracks 1 and 10. The one reservation I have about the album is echoed in an observation made by whistle master Jack Coen, who said of current whistle styles, "Too many notes and not enough music". And perhaps that's true, until one reaches the beautiful and haunting "Waltz of the Little Girls". Then Brian Hughes proves himself a true musician, not just a virtuoso.

A Portrait of Kenny.......2000-08-08

For the uninitated, Kenny Dorham's lasting legacy is that of a pioneering be-bop composer and trumpeter of lesser renown than he is due. Dorham was an innovator with Charlie Parker, and in 1946 composed "Dead End," which Bird featured while Kenny was in his group. In 1947 Dorham collaborated with another formative jazz lion, Art Blakey, who was first to record a Dorham original, "The Thin Man." An early sixties Blue Note mainstay, Kenny recorded as a leader from late 1953 until September of 1964. Giving an early boost to Joe Henderson, he is heard as composer/player on the sax man's "Page One" and "In 'n' Out."

On January 15, 1961 Rudy van Gelder captured seven Dorham originals featuring Kenny's trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor sax, Kenny Drew on piano and a crack bass and drum tandem of Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. Just 24-bit remastered this January by Mr. van Gelder himself, this limited edition of 1500 copies in replica cardboard sleeves follows a now out-of-print Blue Note Connoisseur CD. Buy this now, before it's gone again!

The music stands alone piece by piece, but can also be enjoyed as a musical picture of the Southwest, where Kenny Dorham grew up. Especially poignant and touching is the last of the seven tunes, "Dorham's Epitaph," a gorgeously brief ballad memorializing the great Clifford Brown, a beautiful person and jazz trumpet icon. It also is a fitting monument to Kenny, who said so much with so little fanfare. Every tune on this session is great, so open your own ears to "Windmill," "Sunrise in Mexico" and "Sunset." Then, as you share your jazz, enjoy discussing it. You will find it an endlessly rewarding trip, thanks to Kenny Dorham and friends.
