Purchase Swing Easy CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Andrea Bocelli Viaggio Italiano CD (1997)
Swing Easy album
 $11.79  
Selection includes Messagio Bocelle - A spoken message from Andrea Bocelli.
Andrea Bocelli's is a strikingly individual voice, a plangent tenor given to shaded crooning yet capable of exhilarating, effortless lifts to high C. The individual behind the voice is equally remarkable: blind from childhood, Tuscan Bocelli became a lawyer whose passion for music led him to study with his idol Franco Corelli. He records both classical and pop music, but unlike most pop singers who try the classics, he has the chops; unlike most opera stars who cross over into pop he has the ability to create the illusion of simple, spontaneous expression.
VIAGGIO ITALIANO comprises songs that would have formed the heart of an Italian-American's 78-rpm record collection in the 1920s. There are beloved opera arias such as "La Donna e Mobile" from Verdi's 'Rigoletto,' spiritual classics like Schubert's "Ave Maria," and sentimental Neapolitan ...
| | Patrizio Buanne Italian CD (2005) (Import) Platinum Edition; Bonus CD; Australia
Swing Easy CD music
$20.99  
Patrizio Buanne is veritably obsessed with the sound and style of the 1950s and '60s. As a child, he won an Elvis impersonation competition when he dressed as a young version of the King, and he grew up listening almost solely to Italian or Italian-inspired music from that same time period. And now, with his debut album, The Italian, he is able to sing many of the songs he loves. Recorded in London with the Royal Philharmonic, The Italian often harks back to the sound of the original recordings, like in Jimmy Fontana's "Il Mondo," Engelbert Humperdinck's "A Man Without Love," or Mario Lanza's "Come Prima," and Buanne sounds good, his baritone blending well with the orchestra. However, Buanne runs into problems when he tries to modernize the classics. While "Parla Pił Piano," from The Godfather, starts out nicely, the addition of a dance-like drumbeat sounds corny and forced. Even worse is the cover of Fontana's "Che Sarą," which turns the song into an easy listening radio favorite, culminating in a gospely choral extravaganza, with alternating phrases from the crooning Buanne, who transforms the lines of leaving one's prospectless town (but with the intention of returning) into overly dramatic lovesickness, and the choir, whose sharp interpretation of the normally fluid Italian syllables gives a threatening feel to the piece. The only truly successful of these adaptations is "L'Italiano," which adds a nicely moving piano line, an electric guitar, and a brass section to the already great song, and sounds new but not kitschy. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of "Home to Mamma," which Buanne ...
| | Neil Diamond A Cherry Cherry Christmas CD (2009)
Swing Easy music CDs
$10.39 
Neil Diamond's first two holiday albums were plainly titled THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM and THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM VOL. 2, which gave a pretty good indication of the by-the-book music they contained, just like how the very name of 2009's A CHERRY CHERRY CHRISTMAS is a tip-off that this collection is a decidedly less serious affair, even if it recycles a good chunk of the same recordings that comprised ...
| | Michael Buble CDs (2003) Enhanced CD
Swing Easy songs
$9.89  
Bob Sheppard, Dave Boroff (saxophone); Gary Grant (trumpet); Randy Waldman (piano, keyboards); Brian Bromberg (bass); Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Tull, Frank Capp, Joe Labarbera (drums); Raffael Padilla (percussion); Jochem Van Der Saag, Neil Devor, Felipe Elgueta (programming); Barry Gibb (background vocals).
Right off the bat, Michael Buble has you in his corner just because you know people have been calling the poor guy "Bubble" all his life (keep that accent on the second syllable, folks). Nomenclature aside, Buble's debut album positions him as something of a Harry Connick, Jr. for the 21st century. His husky croon gives him a bearing beyond his tender years, and in fact his Sinatra-phrased, pop-jazz style bears strong echoes of Connick's singing. Accordingly, the production leans heavily on the updated swing of chestnuts like "Fever" and "Come Fly With Me," but that's only part of the story.
As a modern song stylist, Buble digs into the standards of a more contemporary songbook as well. George Michael's jazzy ballad "Kissing a Ballad" has been a standard-in-waiting for some time, and a version of the Bee Gees' soulful ballad "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" features a guest ...

| | Sir Roland Hanna Quartet Plays Gershwin CD
Swing Easy music CDs
$7.89
The challenge to recording works from the Great American Songbook is for an artist to come up with a fresh approach, which is rather difficult due to the numerous recordings of the music George Gershwin made by jazz musicians over many decades. But Sir Roland Hanna is up to the task, accompanied by a strong supporting cast, including Bill Easley (tenor and soprano saxes), bassist Jon Burr, and drummer Ronnie Burrage.
"Summertime," likely the most frequently done Gershwin composition, is given a disguised introduction and a dark yet funky arrangement, with inventive blues ...
