Dakota Staton was a classy Sarah-influenced vocalist who easily straddled the worlds of jazz and supper club pop. Her biggest success, 1957's "The Late, Late Show," had a sort of novelty-value sing-song quality, almost a pre-requisite for a jazz side to hit the pop charts in the '50s. TIME TO SWING is a short and breezy Capitol LP from 1959, the mood uptempo though there are some ballad treatments here, like "You Don't Know What Love Is" and "Until The Real Thing Comes Along." The clean, lightly- scored arrangments are by Sid Feller, a Capitol house-arranger at the time. As stated, the album is a short one; all the tracks clock in under 2:50 and a few are under 2:00! The reissue label DRG (which has been licensing neglected Capitol LPs as of late) includes five bonus cuts to make up the shortfall, including a fine version of "You've Changed," which Billie Holiday memorably introduced on her 1958 LADY IN SATIN.

Time To Swing album
 $13.29  
With its progressive-leaning jazz and modernist blues vocals, In the Night was the prototype for the piano-vocals collaboration record that George Shearing would remake with Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, and Nancy Wilson while at Capitol (and many others afterwards). In July 1957, just after Dakota Staton's immense success with "The Late, Late Show," Capitol recorded two of its biggest jazz stars together for what would turn out to be one of the finest teamings ...

| | David Berger I Had The Craziest Dream: The Music Of Harry Warren CD (2008)
Time To Swing songs
$16.49
Harry Warren is probably the most significant unknown songwriter in the history of the American popular song. Dozens of his songs have become standards, yet while George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, and Irving Berlin are household names, relatively few listeners have heard of Harry Warren. Because Warren primarily wrote for movie musicals of the 1930s and '40s, he never gained the recognition that he deserved, despite his ability to write catchy melodies, original chord changes, and tunes that held together very well. Many of his songs have been played by jazz musicians for decades. David ...
| | My Sister's Diary My Wasted Youth CD (2009)
Time To Swing album
$7.99
Some say that youth is wasted on the young…When I was a kid, I hung around with a small group of friends that listened to bands like The Clash, The Ramones, Boomtown Rats, and The Replacements. However, the music scene where I lived, in upstate New York was for the most part stuck in classic rock mode. A friend of mine had records of various artists playing live at CBGB’s in New York. This was where the scene was. This is where I wanted to be. After college in 1988, I wanted to get a job and live near New York City where I would find a more happening music scene. I did that, and spent a good deal of my free time wandering around New York, especially the East Village. There were many really cool bars there at that time, like the famous CBGB’s, one of my favorites. Most of the bars had great bands or at least great music. And all the bands played all their own songs, no covers, and no bogus tribute bands. Everyone had cool clothes and haircuts; everyone was trying to get noticed. However, in the early 1990’s the East Village was slowly changing. During the 1970’s and 80’s it was full of punks, musicians, artists, and street people. There were some seamy areas like Tompkins Square Park. That was ...
