Swing Back To The 40S Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Great arrangements & players really cook!
This is an impressive, tight and clean big band. The arrangements of standards put the kicks where you want them, and the soloists sound inspired and really cook. These are definitely not a bunch of old dogs looking for an easy meal. They are hard driving, experienced pro's. There are some unsung individual heros on this CD who left their egos at home and made this band swing. They get it right, and boy does it sound good. The recording is full and rich, and the vocals add great variety.

Spike Jones Omnibust/60 Years Of "Music America Hates Best" CD (2002)

Swing Back To The 40S CD music

$17.75

Omnibust/60 Years of Music America Hates Best pairs two of Spike Jones' Liberty albums from 1960 on one disc. Omnibust is a largely spoken word parody of television programming that takes a swipe at Lawrence Welk, children's programming, commercials, soap operas, and the then-popularity of detective show theme music. "I Search for Golden Adventure (In My Seven Leaky Boots)" manages to parody adventure shows and Martin Denny's "The Quiet Village" at the same time, while "The Wonderful World of Hari Kari" revisits the ...

Ella Fitzgerald Irving Berlin Songbook Vol. 2 CD (1958)

Swing Back To The 40S songs

$12.65

Digitally remastered using 24-bit technology by Andrew Nicholas and Chris Corley. It is difficult to know where to begin when approaching an artist as wonderful as Ella Fitzgerald, especially when covering a revered recording like Sings the Irving Berlin Song Book from the late '50s. This set includes two CDs with 32 songs chosen from Berlin's collection of nearly 800 songs. These selections are perfectly suited for Fitzgerald's voice and her romantic sensibility; they are happy, occasionally sad, and full of swinging rhythm. A few of these songs -- "Cheek to Cheek," "Puttin' on the Ritz," and "Blue Skies" -- will be most familiar; others, "Top Hat, White Tie, and Tails," "Russian Lullaby," and "All By Myself" are as memorable but perhaps less known. Choices like "Isn't This a Lovely Day?" feature everything a listener would want in a song: intelligent lyrics, memorable melodies, and a strong emotional center. To say that Fitzgerald is in good voice for these recordings would be an understatement; her presentation here is simply regal. It should be pointed out that these two- and three-minute tunes are tightly arranged, and don't allow the freedom of extended scat singing as on Ella in Berlin. The arrangements ...

October Suite: Three Compositions Of Gary Mcfarland CD (1966) Remastered; Digipak

Swing Back To The 40S songs

$9.89

Composer and arranger Gary McFarland was well-known in the 1960s for his film-scoring abilities and his charting skills with mid-sized bands. McFarland was also, however, a jazz fan, and particularly one of scalar pianist Steve Kuhn. This project features Kuhn in the center of a program made up entirely of McFarland compositions, all but two of which were written specifically for the album. Recorded in 1966, it is an anomaly in the Impulse catalog of the time in that it did not pursue the free jazz realms with the vengeance that most of the label's other acts did during that year. It is also significant that it caught the attention of a young Manfred Eicher, who later signed Kuhn to his ECM label based on the strengths of this recording. Like Keith Jarrett, Kuhn is in the pointillist school of jazz pianists of the era. Unlike Jarrett, Kuhn does not consider force in his attack as necessary as his labelmate does. Instrumentally, Kuhn's customary trio situation -- which is dutifully performed with zeal by Ron Carter and drummer Marty Morell -- is augmented with a string quartet on half the record, and with a wind trio with harp on the other half. The tracks on Side One are, in some ways, less revolutionary yet more fulfilling, because Kuhn is clearly at home with the sonorities afforded by ...
