| | Dinah Washington Difference Is Dinah CD - Import Dinah Washington Discography of CDs
Dinah Washington is often cornered by history into the narrow confines of pop music and jazz vocals. Actually, she was a queen of song at a time when blues, jazz and R&B intersected in an advanced popular art form. Her music is celebrated in this three-CD set. On The Diff'rence Is Dinah, we hear Washington's pop songs, like "What a Difference a Day Makes," along with swinging R&B numbers, like "Ain't Misbehavin'," and such blues numbers as "Me and My Gin." ~ Tom Schulte Difference Is Dinah Music Difference Is Dinah Review

Difference Is Dinah CD music
$14.38 
Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing the songs forward with guitar, and letting the rhythms swing instead of plod. This looseness is the first big surprise of the album. The second is its unrepentant but quite possibly accidental silliness, how ...
| | Dissent Bleeding Together CD (2002)
Difference Is Dinah music CDs
$13.25
Electronica is one of those umbrella terms that covers a lot of ground. The term can be used to describe the most abrasive and forceful of techno, but on the other hand, it could describe something as musical as Dissent's Bleeding Together. Those who think that all electronica is the harsh stuff one typically hears at a rave (which, like free jazz and death metal, has artistic merit but is definitely an acquired taste) should give this CD a close listen. Essentially, Bleeding Together is electronica, but it isn't techno or rave music; in fact, the material (much of it relevant to the downtempo, trip-hop, and acid jazz scenes) tends to be dusky and jazzy. Calling Bleeding Together jazzy isn't saying that it's actually jazz; no one will mistake this CD for a Phil Woods session. However, there are hints of jazz on this 2002 release, and that is true on the vocal offerings (which feature singer Nathalie Sanchez) as well as the instrumental tracks. The tunes on Bleeding Together fall into two main categories: those that ...

Difference Is Dinah CD music
$13.79
Liberty Records was pleasantly surprised when Julie London's debut album was such a big hit. Julie Is Her Name did contain the hit single "Cry Me a River," but each featured mellow jazz guitar and bass backing -- which was considered commercial suicide in 1955. So, instead of changing direction and recording the follow-up Lonely Girl with a full orchestra, Liberty wisely allowed London to strip the accompaniment down even more on the album by dropping the backing down to one instrument. Lone guitarist Al Viola plays gentle Spanish-tinged acoustic behind the hushed vocalist, and it suits London perfectly. While the singer was often chided for her beauty and lack of range, she deftly navigates these ballads without any rhythmic underpinnings to fall back on. London's intense focus on phrasing and lyrics recalls Chet Baker's equally telescopic approach. So while most of the album contains the ...
