This 20-track compilation gathers together the best of Johnston's and Melcher's best sides for Columbia under the B&T moniker. That's important, because this collection could just as easily have been double the length if they had amassed all the tracks that Bruce & Terry had recorded under other names like the Rip Chords, etc. including the hit "Hey Little Cobra." Because Bruce & Terry were a virtual vocal overdubbing machine, some of the tracks on here ("Custom Machine," "Don't Run Away," "I Love You Model T," "Come Love," "Raining In My Heart") appear in mono-only formats. This becomes the only way to hear the final product as it was etched into black phonograph records, as B&T would overdub right directly onto the final single track mix. It also gives the sound of these tracks an edgy, mid-rangey "squashed" kind of compression to them, making them leap out of the speakers. As a musical satellite orbiting around the Brian Wilson/Jan & Dean/Wrecking Crew axis, the music here reflects that time and sound beautifully. These are the beginnings of two long-standing careers in the record business and the records they literally cut their teeth on. ~ Cub Koda

Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1989, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
This enjoyable LP presents a relaxed, agreeable live date, but not one that generates sparks. Pianist Bobby Timmons, who made his name as a writer and invaluable part of the rhythm section in the Art Blakey and Cannonball Adderley bands of the late '50s and early '60s, is a different proposition in his role here as a leader. Although able and energetic, Timmons demonstrates little taste for adventure ...
| | Harry Nilsson Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night CD (1997) (Import) Bonus Tracks
Best Of Bruce & Terry
$14.45
This 1973 album features Henry Nilsson's readings of classic songs including "It Had to Be You" and "Making Whoopie!"
This remastered reissue includes six bonus tracks.
Harry Nilsson was always a maverick artist, following his own sense of style down the hallways of pop, turning out carefully crafted -- even baffling -- songs that shared no direct affinity with any other artist of his day, although in some ways he resembled Randy Newman (even recording a marvelous album of Newman covers). Both men drew on American Tin Pan Alley traditions, but while Newman used them to craft his own ironic view of the little cruelties and kindnesses of the human condition, there was a part of Nilsson that always wanted to actually be a part of that tradition, making him, in some ways, a singer stuck out of time. In 1973 he released A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night, an album of pop standards from the pre-rock era done with the arranging and conducting help of Gordon Jenkins, who had worked in a similar role with such musicians as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong. The album was not particularly well received by Nilsson's rock fans, and when a sort of sequel, A Touch More Schmilsson in the Night, was released in 1988, hardly anyone noticed. As Time Goes By combines both albums into one strong sequence, and it affords a chance to take another look at this phase of Nilsson's career. Always a fine song interpreter (his version of the Badfinger song "Without You" stands as the definitive one, for instance, as does his rendition of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'"), Nilsson's lyrical phrasing on such standards here as the title tune, "As Time Goes By," and Gus Kahn and Walter Donaldson's "Makin' Whoopee" is nothing short of astounding, redefining and breathing life into them for a new era. Always a master of the hushed nuance, the gentle dignity and sincerity of Nilsson's singing stands at the very heart of this album. Jenkins' full orchestra arrangements don't intrude, but augment and support the delicate twists and turns of Nilsson's phrasing, making this a wonderfully realized romantic album (in the best sense of the ...

HARRY - 'THE BEST DAMN PIANIST IN THE CIVILISED WORLD!' (Jonathan Ross BBC TV)Since starting to play at the age of four Harry has set about proving that he can do 'absolutely anything on piano'. Quite simply, he does things with the instrument that you've never heard before, moving seamlessly between jazz, cabaret and classical in a manner that hasn't been seen in the UK since the heyday of Dudley Moore.Very few artists can command respect in such differing fields, but Harry has such an extraodinary talent that as well as running a 20 piece dance band by the age of nineteen and appearing with a who's who of British jazz musicians culminating with a night atthe famous Ronnie Scotts jazz club in London last year, he has also accompanied just about everybody in the business from Englebert Humperndink and Charlotte Church to David ...
