How a good-looking Jewish boy from Brooklyn discovered the secret of success in an updated form of mariachi music is perhaps beyond our scope. Then again, it might not be such a mystery after all. Aside from the obvious example of exotica, much easy listening depends upon more than a touch of ethnicity to maintain its musical roots. What Herb Alpert found in Mexican street bands was a previously untapped source of south-of-the-border melody and rhythm. ...

When bandleader Stan Kenton was approached to record an album of holiday music in 1961 he agreed, on one condition -- no songs about singing snowmen or flying reindeer. The resulting album, A Merry Christmas, is a polyphonic masterpiece that is at once progressive and traditional. Included are such well-known classics as "O Tannenbaum" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas" ...

This two-fer gathers a pair of Joni James' (vocals) titles from her early-'60s cache of long-players for MGM. Both albums are songbooks featuring pop standards by Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, and Oscar Hammerstein II -- on My Favorite Things as well as, appropriately enough, Ira Gershwin and George Gershwin on Joni James Sings the Gershwins. Both recordings respectively offer a dozen sides from the composers/lyricists' expansive catalogs, much in the same fashion that Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan had each done with comparatively successful results. These titles also reveal James' considerably jazzier inflections and capabilities. By the time these discs were initially issued (circa 1963-1964), James had already been established as a successfully critical as well as popular vocalist whose style defied category. As the pop-music horizon began to once again shift in the early '60s, James likewise kept up with the trends. My Favorite Things (1963) features accompaniment by Paul Smith (piano), who leads his quintet through some fresh arrangements of a handful of standards in much the same vein as he had done with Fitzgerald on the vast majority of her celebrated songbooks in the mid-'50s on Verve. Smith provides some syncopated and well-developed interjections and counterpoint to James' luminous and expressive vocals. While each performance garners respective merit, there are a handful that truly define the essence of the effort. Among ...
