Customer Reviews:
Great compilation.......2002-05-10
I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.
A disappointment.......2001-12-15
There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

A Night Out with Blue Plate Special!.......2004-06-17
When I heard "Night Out" and "Work That Skirt" I was very impresed. So I bought this album. And I can tell you it is nothing special.
The Best - but reissue the original.......2003-04-15
Sure I'm prejudice because Blue Plate Special came right out of my hometown. Nevertheless, a long stint at The Derby honed this band into - hands down - the best neo-swing band of the last 15 years. Blue Plate Special is not a converted rock or ska band that chose to take advantage of the neo-swing movement. They are firmly based in jazz. This album captures that band at the height of their talents, before other opportunities shattered the line-up. That is, most of the album does that. Anthony Parcheesi replaces Fred Stuart's original vocals on the first two songs. Stuart had left the band between the original recording sessions and the albums wide release. Parcheesi has a pleasant voice but can't match Stuart's ability to tell a story with his vocals. I haven't heard of the band in a while, so it may have finally given in. If you want to hear the best the neo-swing movement had to offer, get this album...but they should reissue the original version.
a must for any swing-jazz collection.......2002-12-18
I have tasted a number of swing albums, each with a style different from any other. The one I keep coming back to over and over is " A Night Out With Blue Plate Special "; You will see how crisp and tight the brass section is, while the lead vocal captivates you, and keeps you fixed on the melody. Like a good buffet, there is alot to select from, with no repeated style from one selection to another. With each song, there is a new flavor to get your attention.
"Night out", the first song grabs your attention immediatly, where the lead vocals are clearly in control of the song and keep your attention to the end.
The brass arrangment in " a message from paul drake " is very dramatic and involved.
"Tango of sorrow" shows how very talented the group is when going into a style few can show accomplishment in.
The icing on the cake for this album is "Night in Havana" where you are drawn into a night club in old Havana watching the dancers move to the rhumba in a smokey room, with the taste of gin, and the heat of the tropics. It makes you wish you could have lived in that time, and experienced a life style long gone.
I was very fortunate to have found this album; dont pass it up.

aint nothin like the real thing.......2000-12-15
These guys are a perfect example of why neo-swing was such a flash in the pan. They're all style--a style they borrowed from Royal Crown Review--and no substance. There was a time a couple years ago when you could grab any bunch of dorks out of the band practice room of the local junior college music department, throw a zoot suit on 'em and get a gig at the hippest clubs on the west coast, but those days are gone, thank gawd. One listen to this disc will tell you that, like virtually all the neo-swingers, these guys have never listened to the real stuff, but merely borrowed their sound and gangster noir imagery lock, stock and barrel from Royal Crown Review. Sadly, they don't come close to measuring up to RCR, especially in terms of the rhythm section and vocals. Blue Plate Special are a great example of how a potentially great idea--updating vintage swing--turned into a worthless fad.
Out-damn-standing!!.......1999-08-17
I'll just say this; my CD got scratched, and I bought another one even though only one song was ruined. Did I mention I'm broke?
If you want to know why swing is back, listen here.......1999-08-05
Blue Plate Special is the archetypal neo-swing group, a fine example of why swing has experienced a renaissance in the past few years. The guys work exceptionally well as a group, no one individual dominating but all working together to produce an outstanding sound. One thing which differentiates neo-swing from the past is the use of song lyrics to tell more intricate stories than we heard from such songwriters as Frank Loesser and Johnny Mercer. To illustrate, listen to the title cut from this CD. Perhaps, it is the influence of country & western music at work. The other selections presented here are also outstanding, making it very difficult to pick a favorite. Having grown up watching "Perry Mason" on TV, I immensely enjoy "A Message for Paul Drake". Both of the latin tunes, "Tango of Sorrow" and "A Night in Havana" also deserve mention. However, special recognition should be given "Evening". The only other recording I have of it is the one done in 1936 by Count Basie with vocal by Jimmy Rushing. Taken at a tempo which suits the tune better than that in the Basie version, this is probably the highlight of the entire CD.
This is GREAT MUSIC.......1999-07-20
One simple word could describe this album. Magnificent! Not one mediocre song. Just listen to A Night in Havana and Tango of Sorrow, and get blown away. I just wish they had a new album I could buy today.
Excellent CD !.......1999-05-03
Very upbeat songs, and good storylines with the songs. If you like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, you will like these guys.

Several years ago we bought this great collection for my mother-in-law, who's in her 80s, and while a lot of the music was familiar to me and my husband, she knew every song. Now it's one of our favorites, too. Anyone who loves music will appreciate this. The double-disc set contains many memorable tunes, from Hugo Winterhalter's "Canadian Sunset" to Jimmy Dorsey's "So Rare".
