| | Lena Horne Love Songs (2005) CD Lena Horne Discography of CDs
Jazz vocalist Lena Horne had a spectacularly varied career as a recording artist, club performer, stage actress, and movie star, but her sultry voice and classy phrasing were at the center of all of her work. LOVE SONGS shows off Horne's formidable skills, and includes superb readings of romantic gems from the Great American Songbook, including "Love Me or Leave Me" and ""The Man I Love," and show-tune selections like "People Will Say We're in Love" (from OKLAHOMA!).
Horne is backed by an orchestra on most of these selections, but the warmth and intimacy of her vocal performances is never overpowered or diminished. The smoothly swinging "Love Me a Little Little," for example, finds Horne working with Artie Shaw and his orchestra, but the singer's butter-smooth intonations glide right over the instrumental swells. In fact, her voice is so compelling that it makes a beeline through the ear and straight to the heart, an effect that serves the collection's intended purpose.
Personnel: Lena Horne (vocals); Lennie Hayton, Artie Shaw & His Orchestra.
Arrangers: Lennie Hayton; Marty Paich; Ralph Burns.

Love Songs (2005) songs
$6.85 
The Warehouse, Sear Sound, The Hit Factory and David Horowitz Music, New York, New York.
Steve Tyrell has had a long journeyman's career in the music business, serving as record company executive, songwriter, and producer. But no one could have predicted the twist his career took in the late '90s. After he sang standards on the soundtracks of the films Father of the Bride (1991) and Father of the Bride 2 (1995), he was signed up by Atlantic Records to make an album of similar material. A New Standard (1999), his debut album, was a sleeper, such that Atlantic cut him loose, but it was still in the traditional jazz charts two years after its release. Tyrell had joined a new wave of retro singers like Diana Krall and Jane Monheit, reinterpreting the same batch of interwar songs that traditional pop singers have been performing regularly since the 1950s. Columbia Records scooped him up, and Standard Time is more of the same. Hailing from Houston, Tyrell has the same Deep South/Southwest ...
| | Very Best Of Marc Antoine CD (2003)
Love Songs (2005) album
$8.39
Recorded between 1994 & 2001. Includes liner notes by Jonathan Widran.
Though his simplistic arrangements and often-repeated themes mark him as an artist more likely to be heard in an elevator than a jukebox, Marc Antoine is among the best of the mood music merchants active during the '90s and 2000s. A soft-toned player of the Spanish guitar, Antoine has a gift for intricate yet non-complex playing as well as strong melodies, and his compositions occasionally reveal a surprising depth (if only he'd delegate the drum-programming duties to someone beside himself). This 12-track collection, The Very Best of Marc Antoine, spans five of his LPs for GRP, beginning with "Latin Quarter," (far and away his best performance). None of the rest rise above the ...
