Recorded in New York, New York on October 16, 1961 and at Sunset Recorders, Los Angeles, California from November to December 1961. Originally issued on Verve (8442). Includes liner notes by Dom Cerulli.
Digitally remastered using 22-bit technology by Kevin Reeves (Polygram Studios).
One of the greatest of jazz singers, Anita O'Day can also be one of the most erratic. When she's on, O'Day is a brilliant improviser, endlessly creative yet shrewdly paring away any extra-musical excess that might obscure her interpretations. On the occasional off day, O'Day's famous vibrato-less instrument would fail her pitchwise. Ever the unromantic "hip chick," her unconvincing ballads can then be mired in low-energy bathos.
Happily, ALL THE SAD YOUNG MEN is crisply arranged by the equally creative Gary McFarland. O'Day convivially meets him halfway in a well-chosen set of mostly lesser known bluesy numbers, three of which were written by McFarland expressly for this session. Speaking of the blues, the album opens and closes with breezy trademark O'Day performances of two jazz originals, Gene Krupa's "Boogie Blues," which Anita used to scat in her celebrated Krupa-Eldridge days, and Horace Silver's "Senor Blues." But the highlight here has to be O'Day's knowing take on the title tune, Fran Landesman & Tommy Wolf's well-sketched portrait of '50s bohemia, a likely subject for bathos, sure, but the singer's cool rendition turns all skepticism inside out. Creed Taylor's well-recorded 1961 production has been superbly remastered in another choice addition to Verve's By ...

| | Duke Ellington Far East Suite CD (1967) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Play Power album
$13.89
Duke Ellington & His Orchestra: Duke Ellington (arranger, piano); Billy Strayhorn (arranger); Russell Procope (alto saxophone, clarinet); Johnny Hodges (alto saxophone); Jimmy Hamilton (tenor saxophone, clarinet); Paul Gonsalves (tenor saxophone); Harry Carney (baritone saxophone); Mercer Ellington, Herbie Jones (trumpet, flugelhorn); Cootie Williams, William "Cat" Anderson (trumpet); Lawrence Brown, Buster Cooper, Chuck Connors (trombone); John Lamb (bass); Rufus Jones (drums).
The 1995 CD release of this great 1967 Duke Ellington-Billy Strayhorn suite provided an opportunity for reissue producer Orrin Keepnews to correct certain tape speed anomalies which marred the initial LP by going back and remixing the original multi-track tapes. The sparkling result can perhaps be compared to a cleanup of the Sistine Chapel or at least The Last Supper. For THE FAR EAST SUITE is not only one of the Duke Ellington Orchestra's greatest sessions, it is one of the greatest jazz records of the '60s, not bad for a band that made its first significant recordings exactly 40 years before.
Sinewy, chromatic, Eastern-flavored compositions like "Isfahan" and "Agra" provide utterly fresh-sounding showcases for veteran Ellingtonians like alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges and the apparently ageless baritone saxophonist Harry Carney. All the Duke's men rise to this special occasion however, especially the fluent and witty clarinetist Jimmy Hamilton and the piano player himself, ...
