Breakfast At Tiffany's — $8.99
By 1961, film composer Henry Mancini was already well known in Hollywood for his jazzy, brassy scores to Touch of Evil and Peter Gunn. But it was this effervescent soundtrack for Blake Edwards' adaption of Truman Capote's wistful novella that propelled Mancini into the major league of Hollywood composers. Though there were other jazz-oriented arrangers working in Hollywood at the time, none possessed Mancini's imagination and skill in orchestration. (He was a veritable Berlioz in the way he cast...

A New Day Has Come - Celine Dion — $8.99
This album represents Celine Dion's return to recording after a lengthy hiatus (nobody ever believed that "retirement" guff) taken to spend time with her family. As such, the aptly titled A NEW DAY HAS COME finds everybody's favorite French Canadian diva audibly reveling in her return to the vocation for which she was born. The title track finds Dion's elegant voice resplendent amid a pool of twinkling synthesizers, full of energy and joy. "Right in Front of You" opens with some attention-grabbing...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang — $15.99
A deluxe reissue of the 1968 soundtrack to the musical version of James Bond creator Ian Fleming's children's novel about a magical car. The songs are by veteran Disney composers Richard and Robert Sherman, and while they're not quite as memorable as what the team came up with for MARY POPPINS, they're certainly better than serviceable, and stars Dick Van Dyke and Sally Anne Howes sing the heck out of them (the title song was nominated for an Academy Award, although it lost to "The Windmills of Your...

Timeless: Live In Concert - Barbra Streisand — $29.98
The set begins with a look back to 1955, New York. "Something's Coming" from WEST SIDE STORY leads to a reflective "The Way We Were." Babs then takes things uptown for a rousing "Lover, Come Back to Me" featuring Marvin Hamlisch's powerful brass section. A peppy and spirited "Miss Marmelstein," a song she hadn't performed in 37 years, continues her trip down memory lane. Recalling favorite movies, she delivers a poignant "Alfie" and a version of "Evergreen" that doesn't leave a dry eye in the house...

You'll Never Know — $13.99
Writer: Maurice Yvain / Albert Willemetz / Jacques Charles / Channing Pollock

Time To Say Goodbye — $17.99
Sarah Brightman is an example of the kind of artist that Duke Ellington would have described as "beyond category." Coming from a theatrical musical background, she combines the traditions of Broadway show-tunes (Andrew Lloyd-Webber's ex, she starred in his 'Phantom of the Opera,' among other things), opera, art song and pop to produce a fresh, unusual amalgam that is showcased to fine effect on TIME TO SAY GOODBYE. Brightman reaches into the Latin tradition here (she sings in Spanish on such tunes...

Thoroughly Modern Millie — $15.49
The theatrical tale of a '20s Flapper gal, THOROUGHLY MODERN MINNIE already had a place in the hearts of many 21st-century folks due to the version featuring Julie Andrews singing atop an orchestra conducted by no less than Andre Previn. This newer take on the classic musical, however, is full of just as much verve as any previous staging. How else could it have taken jaded New York theater audiences by storm? Moving full circle from the plaint "What Do I Need With Love?" to the revelatory "I'm in...

Beyond The Song - Bobby Darin — $11.49
Beyond the Song is the quintessential tribute to an innovative performer whose tragically brief life was often stranger than fiction. With songs like Splish Splash, Beyond The Sea>/i> and the classic Mack The Knife under his belt by age 23, Bobby Darin soon found himself confronted by simply everything he had ever wanted; but it wasn’t nearly enough. He died on December 20, 1973 from heart trouble. Featured in the show are live performance clips including: Mack the Knife, Splish Splash, Dream Lover...

Harry For The Holidays [hyper Cd] - Harry Connick Jr — $9.99
"Frosty the Snowman" turns into a brassy rhumba and the "Christmas Waltz" benefits from the kind of West Coast, cool time changes that you'd expect to hear on a Dave Brubeck outing. This New Orleans native also gives a nod to fellow southerner Elvis Presley by way of a crooned reading of "Blue Christmas" and country legend George Jones even gets recruited for the countrypolitan Connick-penned "Nothin' New for New Year." Other originals like the New Orleans funkified "Happy Elf" and the orchestral...

Lullaby Of Broadway — $13.99
Recorded in New York, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, California between 1933 and 1938. Includes liner notes by Peter Dempsey.

The Look Of Love - Diana Krall — $17.99
While there's no denying that jazz-pop star Diana Krall's movie-star good looks went a long way toward endearing her to mainstream America, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Just as undeniable are Krall's gifts as a pianist and singer. Far from a crass populist, she's a subtle, nuanced performer who approaches her craft with an excess of skill and knowledge. This is apparent from the very beginning of THE LOOK OF LOVE, when Krall tackles the overly familiar Gershwin chestnut "S'Wonderful" not the...

You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown — $17.99
This remastered edition of the 1967 Decca Original Cast Album of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN also contains four previously unreleased bonus tracks taken from the PEANUTS IN SONG demo (produced by Clark Gesner) that would eventually bring the stage production to fruition.

On Eagle's Wings — $12.99
In these troubled times, the Almighty could use a good p.r. rep. Michael Crawford, the British star of stage and screen, has eagerly taken on this task with ON EAGLE'S WINGS. Inspired by his days as a "towheaded eight-year-old" singing Latin hymns with his church choir, he teams up with The Saint Olaf Choir and The American Boychoir to lift our spirits. Mixing traditional ("Amazing Grace") and modern ("Joseph's Lullaby") inspirational songs, Michael explores his spiritual and artistic roots and tries...

All Time Greatest Hits - Lettermen (The) — $9.49
1. Goin' Out Of My Head / Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You

If You Only Knew — $12.99
It's been well-chronicled that Little Jimmy Scott suffered from a hereditary disease that prevented him from going through puberty, and fortunately for the music world Scott used his disability as an asset in the form of his pure, elegant soprano voice. In 1955, Scott began recording for Savoy, and 1963's IF YOU ONLY KNEW bursts with the kind of unique talent the singer was putting across for the label right from the start. Scott is backed by a small combo here, and the intimacy of the setting and...

Teach Me Tonight — $9.99

Christmas Extraordinaire - Mannheim Steamroller — $12.99
Chip Davis has been yoking his electronic keyboard skills to Yuletide musical themes for enough years to have become a cottage industry, and his 2001 offering under the long-standing Mannheim Steamroller name, CHRISTMAS EXTRAORDINAIRE represents no dip in quality. Davis wisely plays to his huge, faithful audience's expectations by providing simple, straightforward instrumental versions of such well known Christmas classics as "Silver Bells," "Do You Hear What I Hear," and "White Christmas." The focus...

Live From Las Vegas: The Harem World Tour - Sarah Brightman — $17.99
Brightman's always been one to experiment, as evidenced by the incredible variety in the song selection. Of course, she does a powerful rendition of a medley of songs from Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, in which she starred. However, she also adds her own touch to everything from compositions by Dvorak to such rock classics as Kansas's "Dust in the Wind" and Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale." Predictably, the atmosphere is charged with the overwhelming energy of a performer who has lived...

I Just Dropped By To Say Hello — $14.98
Hartman intones silky phrases over a montundo groove on Henry Mancini's "Charade," moving to easy swing paraphrases in the bridge, and descending into his deepest register, twisting suggestively at the final syllables. Where Sinatra's classic "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" is a study in pathos, Hartman mines the tune for its sweet vein of romanticism. The title tune and "Stairway To The Stars" illustrate Hartman's gifts for balladry and theatrical gestures, as he moves easily between his...

Live In Paris - Diana Krall — $17.99
Diana Krall is best known as a purveyor of gently drifting ballads, with a trademark laconic delivery. Such preconceptions may be slightly nudged, if not altered, when her LIVE IN PARIS concert document kicks off with a swinging, up-tempo "I Love Being Here With You" that finds her making like Annie Ross, while also giving her top-shelf band a chance to blow. Aficionados of those aforementioned narcotized standards will soon be set to their ease however, as Krall moves slowly and deliberately through...

In addition, the Brass is accompanied by the Bach's Children's Chorus, the Georgian Bay Children's Chorus, and selected instrumentalists. The...

The Bee Gees, Luciano Pavarotti, Carole King and Barbra Streisand all in the same place. Is it the inauguration of a new branch of Planet Hollywood? Naw, it's just an album by a little Canadian gal named Celine Dion. True to form, on LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE the key word is big. Songs, arrangements, production, performance, it's all in Cinemascope and Technicolor with Surround Sound to boot. The grand musical gesture is what Celine Dion has founded her career on, and in that regard she certainly doesn...

16 Most Requested Songs - Doris Day — $8.99
Her way of executing phrases is simple and direct, playing with neither beat nor rhythm. From her earliest Number One hit, "Sentimental Journey," her technique is measured and deliberate, yet feels comfortable. "Secret Love," a song she reportedly recorded in one take, reveals what a musical natural she was, as she effortlessly changes from soft to bold at the song's bridge.

Christmas With The Trapp Family Singers - Trapp Family Singers — $11.99
Forget the cute little kids and the catchy Rodgers & Hammerstein songs: this is the real, and grown-up, Trapp Family that became famous in pre-World War II Europe as a touring singing group, then emigrated to the U.S. in 1941 and only decades later was immortalized (and highly romanticized) by the Broadway musical and Hollywood movies. Here, for the first time on CD, are recordings from the early 1950s, remastered to optimize voices and minimize background and other extraneous, undesirable artifacts...

Come Fly With Me! [remaster] - Frank Sinatra — $14.99
Save yourself several thousand dollars in airfare by checking out this swinging travelogue. COME FLY WITH ME finds Sinatra working for the first time with Billy May, whose bold, jazzy arrangements were a breath of fresh air following the stale, oafish orchestrations of Alex Stordahl. Together, Sinatra and May produced some of the most upbeat, joyful albums of the singer's career. In the tradition of Sinatra's other great '50s theme albums, COME FLY WITH ME takes you from "The Isle Of Capri" to "Blue...

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong For Lovers - Ella Fitzgerald — $12.99
Armstrong's vocal features, "Our Love is Here to Stay" and "Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)," both highlight his ability to combine scat with lyric singing. Other selections such as "The Nearness of You" and "Moonlight in Vermont" are particularly poetic numbers rendered superbly by Fitzgerald. On these tunes, The First Lady of Song's voice is especially dreamy and honeyed. Overall, this set of love songs, culled from the Great American Songbook, could not receive a better reading anywhere (or by...

SCORES: SONGS FROM COPACABANA AND HARMONY gathers songs from two musicals penned by Manilow with the aid of lyricist and librettist Bruce Sussman. COPACABANA fleshes out the story of Lola from Manilow's iconic 1978 hit of the same name, and like that song, is fueled by an energetic cabaret spirit. The titular song is revisited in a flashy, updated dance version. HARMONY unfolds the story of the popular '30s German singing group the Comedian Harmonists (also the inspiration for the 1997 film THE HARMONISTS...

Blossom Dearie - Blossom Dearie — $12.99
Though she made her first appearance in 1952 as the uncredited "answer voice" on King Pleasure's celebrated "Moody's Mood for Love," it still took a few years for Blossom Dearie to establish herself as a solo artist. Boasting expert support from the likes of bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jo Jones, 1956's BLOSSOM DEARIE was a debut worth waiting for. With her schoolmarm voice and whimsical air, Blossom Dearie today is known as one of our pre-eminent cabaret artists. What her first LP makes clear is...

Personnel includes: Sarah Brightman (vocals); Michael Crawford, Cliff Richard, Jose Carreras, Sir John Gielgud, Paul Miles-Kingston (vocals).

Guilty Pleasures * - Barbra Streisand — $9.49
Babs sounds remarkably assured throughout GUILTY PLEASURES, undoubtedly due, at least in part, to working once again with Gibb, who knows how to elicit some of her finest, most pop-perfect performances. Although Gibb (who co-produced this disc with John Merchant) is credited with two duets on the record (the yearning "Come Tomorrow" and "Above the Law," an ode to deception), he's at his best when providing his signature high-pitched backing vocals and letting Streisand's powerful singing take center...

Living In The U.s.a. - Linda Ronstadt — $7.98
As the '70s were drawing to a close, Linda Ronstadt began to make some slight alterations to her image and the kind of songs she sang. The cover for 1978's LIVING IN THE U.S.A. showed Ronstadt--who usually wore flowing dresses on roller skates, sporting short shorts and a satin jacket. And while she once again drew upon the work of songwriters whose work she had covered previously (J.D. Souther, Smokey Robinson), she also included songs by such bright stars of the moment as Elvis Costello (a nice...

The Best Of The Nat King Cole Trio (Capitol) - Nat "King" Cole — $15.98
Nat "King" Cole was one of the most romantic singers of all time. He was also one of the finest jazz pianists of his generation. The music presented on this best-of collection highlights this legendary performer's singing, but along the way, listeners will also hear the sensitivity and warmth of Cole's piano playing. Among the many beautiful tunes included in this collection, "Sweet Lorraine" stands out as one of the most charming. Cole swings ever so lightly on this number and his piano accompaniment...

Letter From Home — $11.98
The king of vocalese (the putting of words to pre-existing jazz instrumentals) further cemented his reputation with this fine 1961 Riverside date. Eddie Jefferson truly approached his singing with the mind of a horn player, paying particular attention to phrasing, and the form and rhythmic cadence of his applied lyrics. The result was a fun, technically intriguing take on jazz that was refreshing while also paying homage to the original tunes.

Playin' With My Friends: Bennett Sings The Blues [SACD only] / Tony Bennett - Tony Bennett — $18.99
PLAYIN' WITH MY FRIENDS finds Tony Bennett mixing it up with a broad range of musical veterans and a sprinkling of young turks on this collection whose material primarily draws from the late '40s/early '50s era when the lines between jazz, blues, and pop were blurred. Backed by the stalwarts of the Ralph Sharon quartet, Bennett's easy-going style conjures up an earlier era's definition of cool. The Astoria native takes on the trappings of a saloon singer whether he's flirting with Diana Krall on...

The Best Of Nina Simone - The Colpix Years - Nina Simone — $14.99
Her treatment of Irving Berlin's "You Can Have Him" is transcendent and breathtaking. Even when she's gentle and tender, as in her classic version of "Wild Is the Wind," her passion always seethes under the surface. She is a master musician, and her tastes in material and arrangements are always eclectic, daring, and surprising. The 19 tracks here (two previously unreleased), run the gamut of jazz, folk, blues, and soul, providing a wonderful overview of her powerful artistry.

The King & I/Lady In The Dark/Nymph Errant - Gertrude Lawrence — $17.49
'The King and I' is with the original Broadway cast, featuring Yul Brynner in his star-making role. Without doubt Gertrude Lawrence was unique, a much-loved star whenever she appeared in the 'West End', on film or on Broadway - and never just as half of 'Noël & Gertie'. She epitomized glamour and sophistication, a freshness and modernity as she metamorphosed from flapper, to socialite to bouncy modern woman. On this CD are some of her most wonderful and classic realizations.

Playin' With My Friends: Bennett Sings The Blues / Tony Bennett - Tony Bennett — $8.99
PLAYIN' WITH MY FRIENDS finds Tony Bennett mixing it up with a broad range of musical veterans and a sprinkling of young turks on this collection whose material primarily draws from the late '40s/early '50s era when the lines between jazz, blues, and pop were blurred. Backed by the stalwarts of the Ralph Sharon quartet, Bennett's easy-going style conjures up an earlier era's definition of cool. The Astoria native takes on the trappings of a saloon singer whether he's flirting with Diana Krall on...

The Greatest Hits 1966-1992 - Neil Diamond — $29.99
Columbia's retrospective of over a quarter-century of Neil Diamond's songs skillfully maneuvers its way around the inconvenience of his being signed to another label for six of those years by featuring well-arranged, impeccably performed live versions of his MCA material, like the autobiographical "Brooklyn Roads," the rousing "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show," and the existential "I Am...I Said." Also featured here is his salute to his heritage, "America," as well as duets with Kim Carnes...

Bossa Nova - John Pizzarelli — $17.99
BOSSA NOVA is also notable for its selection of compositions. Bossa nova standards dominate, particularly those of songwriting giant Antonio Carlos Jobim. Well-worn chestnuts like "Desafinado" and "Girl from Ipanema" (with Jobim's grandson Daniel Jobim providing Portuguese vocals here) are given warm, accomplished treatments. But there are also takes on Gershwin's "Fascinating Rhythm," James Taylor's "Your Smiling Face," and Broadway maven Stephen Sondheim's "I Remember;" with each successfully adapted...
