With a seriously bluesy jazz voice, Olstead wows everyone who hears her, including the renowned David Foster who co- produced this album of classics. Unless someone told you, you might never suspect that Olstead is only in high school! Renee Olstead ... hear her ... you won’t believe your ears. :No less an expert on pop affairs than Neil Sedaka likens the impossibly mature voice of 14-year-old vocalist/TV star (CBS' Still Standing) Renee Olstead to 'Patsy Cline, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday all ...	Buy Now	Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert (more) »rank: 2143 by: Various Artists : :To celebrate 10 years as the world's most popular musical, the cast of Les Misérables threw a phenomenal birthday party at London's Royal Albert Hall in 1995. A decade after Trevor Nunn directed its premiere at the Barbican Centre, and the subsequent move into what became a permanent home at the West End Palace Theatre, producer Cameron Macintosh felt the time had come for a little outing for 'the miserables.' Conductor David Charles Abell, having climbed out of the cluttered Palace pit, for one glorious night has the entire Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at his disposal and there are appearances from over ...

Buy Now	De-Lovely (more) »rank: 1665 by: Various Artists, Cole Porter :Album Description:European version of 19-track soundtrack includes the bonus track 'Easy To Love' - Kevin Kline. Columbia. :At first glance, the approach picked for De-Lovely will be familiar to those who already own Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter. On both albums, contemporary pop stars cover classics by Porter. But many of the interpretations on Red Hot + Blue were modernized, whereas the approach on De-Lovely is more traditional---it's the soundtrack to a biopic about Porter, after all, so a classic (though not quite period) sound prevails. What's surprising is how well many of the singers handle the ...
Buy Now	16 Most Requested Songs (more) »rank: 3695 by: Johnny Mathis : :It's been suggested that almost as many baby boomers were conceived to the romantic sounds of Johnny Mathis's voice as to Sinatra's--and when you consider that Johnny's Greatest Hits stayed on Billboard's Top 40 chart for 178 weeks beginning in '58 (that's more than twice as long as Dark Side of the Moon, folks!), it's easy to understand why. Sony has used this '16 Most Requested' routine on a number of their easy-listening vocalists (including Sinatra and Andy Williams), but this one is special in that it takes the cream of Mathis's Greatest Hits album and rounds it out with his ...	Buy Now	The Look of Love (more) »rank: 2798 by: Diana Krall : :The Look of Love doesn't tamper with Diana Krall's ongoing success, continuing the emphasis on romantic ballads and embracing them with lush string arrangements. At the core, of course, is Krall's voice. She's developing into one of the great torch singers, with an approach that's both direct and subtly nuanced, true to the song and yet deeply personal. There's a combination of restraint and drama here, as Krall ranges from the confident to the wistful, from loss to playful insinuation, as each song requires. 'Cry Me a River' is bittersweet triumph, while 'Love Letters' and 'Maybe You'll Be There' maintain the ...

Buy Now	Ask Me Again (more) »rank: 4100 by: Nancy LaMott :Album Description:'After Nancy's death in 1995, many radio DJ's across the country kept her music alive by playing cuts from her CD's. But one DJ, Jonathan Schwartz, had access to a special private collection of unreleased recordings that Nancy had given him copies as gifts. Over the years, Jonathan would regularly play these recordings, and every time he did, we would get calls asking; 'Which CD is that on? How do I get a copy of the that song?'. Of course, there weren't on any CD, so we had a lot of frustrated fans on our hands. Several years ago, we ...
Buy Now	The King and I (1956 Film Soundtrack) (more) »rank: 4857 by: Deborah Kerr, Yul Brynner, Marni Nixon, Rita Moreno, Alfred Newman : essential recording:Compared with the Broadway cast recording, the 1956 soundtrack to the film version of The King and I wins hands down. Yul Brynner is the king (literally and figuratively) in both formats (how could anyone else own such a role?), but the movie's score has better sonics, Brynner's voice is stronger, and the tunes are more memorable (thanks to Alfred Newman's conducting and Ken Darby's scoring) than on any of the various cast recordings. Marni Nixon sings the role of Anna (played onscreen by Deborah Kerr), Brynner delivers his hallmark performance, and the best-loved tunes--'Hello, Young Lovers,' 'Getting to ...	Buy Now	The Very Best of John Coltrane (more) »rank: 1761 by: John Coltrane : :With his inexhaustible technique, trademark sound, and limitless imagination, tenor and soprano saxophonist John Coltrane was one of jazz's most dominant musicians. This collection covers his important Atlantic Records sessions recorded from 1959 to 1960 (chronicled in their entirety on Heavyweight Champion). The tunes signal an important transitional phase from Trane's stints with Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk to his emergence as a leader in his own right. 'Giant Steps' 'Naima,' and 'Cousin Mary'--featuring pianist Tommy Flanagan and drummer Art Taylor--crystallized Trane's supersonic 'sheets of sound' style. 'Like Sonny,' an Afro-Latin dedication to his friend and contemporary Sonny Rollins with Wynton ...
