Pure Ella: The Very Best of Ella Fitzgerald

noreply@blogger.com (Chika) — Tue, 18 May 2010 15:59:00 +0000

It's hard to choose between collections and work of Ella Fitzgerald Ken Burns Jazz collection issues. Although there is some overlap between the two, CD Burns' covers a wider sweep his career - in the mid-thirties version of AA-Tisket Tasket (the version here was recorded live in 1961) until the late sixties. Everything listed here sometimes in the late fifties and early sixties - Ella Fitzgerald's early, but unfortunately lost their jobs since the beginning.

However, if I really need to be limited to only one CD Ella Fitzgerald, it would be this one. Burns did not include a duet with Louis Armstrong "They can not Take Away From Me 'and' Summertime 'and there's music was never made, with more than their hearts Fitzgerald and Armstrong Honey. And the sound of sand paper together in a way that prevents play description and I 'll nominated their own version. "Summertime" as one of the best recordings ever made I can not hear too often .. If you do not have a copy, there is a big hole in your record collection - no, make a big hole in your life that need to be repaired.

In addition, while the voice offers CD Burns' beautiful and fun scatting Ella (Ella scatting is a cure for what you are sick), I think he changed his work shorter than ballads. 'Misty' and 'My Funny Valentine "should be on every intro to Ella Fitzgerald.

Things to remember about any introduction by Ella Fitzgerald, however, is that something just a note - to keep you until you have enough money to save the entire song. Once you do, is really a nice collection.

Glenn Miller - Greatest Hits

noreply@blogger.com (Chika) — Tue, 18 May 2010 15:54:00 +0000

If you're interested in listening Glenn Miller and his orchestra, the best single disc to buy (if you want Spring to be a bit more, see the two-disc "The Essential Glenn Miller"). Rates on a Budget $ 10.00, the CD actually contains most of the hits you expect from the album Glenn Miller "In the Mood" String Beads, "" Pennsylvania 6-5000, "" I Got a Gal in Kalamazoo " "Moonlight Serenade," "Tuxedo Junction" and "Chatanooga Choo-choo" He also looked good. with a minimum and sizzle. In general, the RCA "Greatest Hits" series who bought Jazz poor, with music by just a fraction of career musicians who do not represent "their greatest success" (album by Count Basie and Louis Armstrong album is very weak), but this CD really really deliver the goods. Glenn Miller was the RCA Victor recording artist for most of his career, so that the label was the best of the best on this CD. If you are new to Mr. Miller, or a big band and swing in general, here is a good way to go and economically.

Pieces on this album are the most successful period of Miller in 1938, when he formed a new group and suddenly became a sensation, until mid-summer 1942 when he joined the Air Force to form a new military relationship. "King Porter Stomp" is the beginning here, and showed her more jazzy Miller. Noting the last (July 1942) is a song, a very sweet "That Old Black Magic" (with vocals by Skip Nelson and the modern Aires) between the two. The music is owned by the big band era of Many reputable breeders Spirit during the WWII Glenn Miller. is an important part of the soundtrack of American involvement in the conflict. "In the Mood," a catchy dance and perhaps a piece of the best known tunes, big band ever, leading to the collection. Even today, this song everyone from primary school to seniors on the floor. Everyone knows this section, and as each person. Other popular mind-coach of the war is "Do not sit under the apple tree", sung by Tex Beneke and the Texas modern Aires. The swing band with great sophistication on songs like "Pearl" (which demonstrates the ingenuity of arranger Glenn / composer Jerry Gray), bounced off the Little Brown Jug ", and almost exhausted and swinging on "Tuxedo Junction" and Glenn, who borrowed a conductor Erskine Hawkins, after hearing his band play a version of it. Glenn great vocal group, Tex Beneke and the Texas modern Aires (with Marion Hutton) also sang two songs most popular at the time: "I have a girl in Kalamazoo" and "Chatanooga Choo Choo 'band. also plays some nice slow song "Sunrise Serenade" and their theme song, the romantic "Moonlight Serenade" And do not forget a good start. and stopping the song "Pennsylvania 6-5000," everyone likes to cry as well.

Unfortunately, Glenn Miller did not live up to the end of the war, he helped America to come see his plane disappeared in the English Channel in December 1944.

Glenn Miller, the other says, not just music for the elderly. "Young people are constantly under his charm and his music is still very popular today with people of all ages. This is an important part of higher education Glenn. It is not the best band ever size: no more hard rock, jazz band Some, like Count Basie and Benny Goodman. It is not a genius as a composer and Duke Ellington. It's just a trombone meaning, and not a virtuoso of his instrument as Tommy Dorsey or Artie Shaw on trombone, clarinet. But it does make something important: it propagates swing in all corners of the world, and for all ages, with his populist, happy happy, and stylish. members of the band are very talented, and they formed a tight group. They play pop music, of course, but pop music has timed out. And perhaps most importantly, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is the "gate" of the band. It is often the swing big bands most people hear and listen to bring the audience in exploring the wonderful era of American music, jazz, when the king. For me personally, I was introduced to Glenn Miller Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, and many twists and turns of Miles Davis. I am grateful to the great Glenn Miller.
