SONGS FOR YOUNG LOVERS and SWING EASY--both recorded and released in 1954--mark the beginning of Frank Sinatra's resurgent solo career in the 50s. They also mark the beginning of a long and fruitful association with both Capitol Records and Sinatra's most inventive, stylish arranger, Nelson Riddle. Previously, Riddle had arranged several Nat 'King' Cole hits, including "Unforgettable" and "Nature Boy." After their first hit together, Harold Arlen's "I've Got the World On A String," the die was cast and they would be linked as musical partners made for each other. Unlike the massive, string-laden Columbia Records productions of Sinatra's earlier solo career, producer Voyle Gilmore would emphasize closely-miked instrumentation and a more pronounced back beat. He was helped in this task by Riddle's precise scoring and chamber music approach to big band arranging.
Frank Sinatra thrived in this setting. The smaller sound enabled his characteristic intimate approach to singing to dominate the session as never before. In his previous incarnation, Sinatra was speaking directly to the listener from some far-away romantic place. Now he was speaking from across the room and he made that room, any room, a very romantic place indeed. The first album (EP really), SONGS FOR YOUNG LOVERS, contains the classier songs ("My Funny Valentine," "A Foggy Day," "I Get A Kick Out Of You") but SWING EASY easily matches it in energy, verve and yes, swing. This is where it all began in the '50s and Sinatra got it right from the very first note.

$14.25
Recorded live at The Filmore, San Francisco, California in 2001.
What a difference just a couple of years can make. Back in 1999, Leftover Salmon sounded ready to assume its rightful place in a progressive bluegrass stream overflowing with a new generation of jam bands. Perhaps they were finally settling down. But with the exception of a lively version of the late John Hartford's "Steam Powered Aereoplane" (on which the band is ...
| | Susan Krebs What Am I Here For? CD (2002)
Songs For Young Lovers/Swing Easy songs
$10.59
"Susan Krebs, a talented singer with wit and energy, who deserves much greater recognition." (L.A.Times ) Following the 1999 release of her well-received album, "JAZZ GARDENER" on Sea Breeze Records, "WHAT AM I HERE FOR?" is the new project from Los Angeles jazz vocalist, SUSAN KREBS and her group of superb L.A. based musicians, including the sublime world-class saxophone player, GARY FOSTER. Co-produced by Krebs and drummer/vibist Jerry Kalaf, this CD offers modern and elegant arrangements of some well-known standards as well as a few more obscure and seldom recorded tunes. Also included is an original blues, "YOU BOTHER ME", with Lyrics by Krebs and Music by the extraordinary trumpet player/composer, CARL SAUNDERS and the exciting pianist/composer RICH EAMES, whose delightful arrangement is reminiscent of vintage George Shearing. Suze is a swinging and deeply expressive vocalist, with a warm and resonant sound, choosing songs with wit and meaning. She is also a seasoned professional actor, performing in film, television and theater, which serves her well in the telling of her tale through song.Here's what some REVIEWERS and RADIO Program Directors are saying:The Susan Krebs Group - "What Am I Here For?" (GreenGig Music)"Vocalist Susan Krebs, (aka "the Jazz Gardener") has come to market with another enjoyable CD. It features 11 tracks of songs, eclectic and carefully selected. They range from a timely "Peace" (Horace Silver) to "Nature Boy", "Good Morning Heartache", "A Sleepin' Bee", "You Bother Me" and a standout "Ten Minutes Ago" (Rodgers & Hammerstein). - An actress as well, the charismatic Krebs knows how to apply the right touch for the mood of each song, and does an excellent job of presenting ...

| | Andrew Calhoun Shadow Of A Wing CD (2004)
Songs For Young Lovers/Swing Easy CD music
$15.05
"Andrew's writing reminds me of impressionistic painting - an image here and there, a splash of color, light and shadow. His songs defy analysis; the impact of word and sound alone is enough to move me deeply. Andrew's music bypasses the mind and goes straight to the soul." -Lui Collins, Molly Gamblin recording artist "...Listening to Andrew's latest release, "Shadow of a Wing," is like taking a brisk walk through an exhibit with artifacts of raw, poetic emotion on display. These 18 vignettes get in, say what they have to say, and get out - often leaving the listener to wonder just what hit him/her. Like a great painting or poem, Andrew has honed the craft of using just the right amount of color, story and spatial relations to tell an enormous tale while taking up very little physical room. ... His attention to the details of language and poetic device has never been better. This impressionistic approach to songwriting is something Andrew had been perfecting for some 30 years. His ability to artfully present a full range of emotions and imagery - from the ridiculous to the grittily sublime - is never more evident than in his back-to-back programming of "Daughter of a Drunk" and "A Hoosier in Paris." -Matt Watroba, Sing Out!November, 2003: I typed up every song I'd written since age 13 that I thought had any merit, and I saw a pattern in them, of reaching out to people who are in trouble, which can turn out to be dangerous - the perils of engaging with beautiful crazy people. So ...
