Although known primarily as one-time partner and wife to Louis Prima (vocals), Keely Smith (vocals) also had a measurable amount of success on her own. I Wish You Love was not only the title of her debut long-player, it quickly became one of her signature pieces as well. By the end of the 1950s, the team of Prima and Smith were among the hottest tickets along the burgeoning Los Vegas and Atlantic City gambling strips. The buzz of their perpetually packed houses and high energy stage show garnered them recording contracts at Capitol both as a duo as well as respective solo artists. On stage, Smith's sweet, inviting, and intimate tone was a perfect contrast to Prima's often bombastic delivery. That same cosy quality is at the heart of the 11 performances on this disc. No doubt the mood enhancing arrangements of the great Nelson Riddle didn't hurt either. While torch songs/ballads became her trademark as a soloist, Smith's sumptuous prowl through "When Day Is Done," and the happy-go-lucky mid-tempo romp of "When Your Lover Has Gone" proves her mettle as an intuitive jazz interpreter as well. Other examples range from the subtle give-and-take she brings to her sensitive reading of "Imagination," to the breezy "Don't Take Your Love from Me," which bops along with an Edie Adams' like effervescence. Smith would go on to collaborate with Billy May on Politely! (1958), and reunite with Riddle on Swingin' Pretty (1959). In 2003, Collectors' Choice Music issued I Wish You Love on CD with an additional half-a-dozen bonus tracks, including an alternate version of the title composition as well as four other sides cut during her very first demo sessions in April of 1956. ~ Lindsay Planer

I Wish You Love CD music
$18.05 
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled all of Otis' Excelsior recordings, made in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1947. This provides background and context for his more well-known Savoy material, and indeed for everything this amazing person accomplished during the second half of the 20th century. Otis' first act as a recording bandleader was to borrow Jimmy Rushing from Count Basie! Rushing sounds right at home with this group, which included tenor saxophonist Paul Quinichette, pianist Bill Doggett, and bassist Curtis Counce. During "Preston's Love Mansion," as ...

| | B B King Mr. Blues/Confessin' The Blues CD (2005) (Import) Remastered; United Kingdom
I Wish You Love album
$18.79
This CD contains B.B. King's first ABC-Paramount studio efforts -- Mr. Blues (1962) and Confessin' the Blues (1965), respectively. While there are inevitable similarities between the projects, offering them back-to-back allows listeners an acute sense of King's rapid maturation and development during what was by all accounts the nexus of the guitarist/vocalist's career. The dozen-song Mr. Blues was a haphazard start for King with the contents taken from three different recording sessions in a 13-month period (March 1, 1962 through April 11, 1963). Based on the results, the artist was being presented as a blues shouter, supported by an antiquated big band and/or orchestra. Arguably the best of the lot comes from the Maxwell Davis led ensemble on the first of several Big Joe Turner tunes, the Ahmet Ertegun penned "Chains of Love." The upgrade of Ivory Joe Hunter's "Blues at Midnight" is closer to the spirit of modern era King as he aptly demonstrates his singular testifyin' style. The fun and frolic of both "I'm Gonna Sit in 'Til You Give In" and "My Baby's Comin' Home" are the least dated of the bunch, indicating the direction that King would ultimately take. The landmark Live at the Regal (1964) is a critical link to the albums featured on Mr. Blues/Confessin' ...
