The Very Best of the Manhattan Transfer(more) »rank: 5067by: The Manhattan Transfer
: :This is an excellent collection of many of the high points of the Manhattan Transfer's first decade, demonstrating both their reach and their grasp as they draw material from swing, modern jazz, and doo-wop into their own distinctive style. There's a tongue-in-cheek cool that connects the swing of Erskine Hawkins's 'Tuxedo Junction' to the elemental girl-group harmonies of 'Boy from New York City' and the TV themes like 'Route 66' and the variations on the 'Twilight Zone.' More traditional jazz skills, though, are apparent in their renditions of some Jon Hendricks vocal classics. Composer Jimmy Giuffre plays saxophone on their version of his ... |

When I Look in Your Eyes(more) »rank: 4460by: Diana Krall
:Album Description:Japanese edition of the accomplished Canadian jazz pianist/ vocalist's 1999 outing with 'P.S. I Love You' added as a bonus track, for a total of 14 selections. :Years after the '90s, the decade will be remembered for the rise of pianist-vocalist Diana Krall. Simply put, this British Columbian-born artist is one of the most engaging musicians to emerge from the heap of scat-happy singers high on pyrotechnics, but short on poetry. Stamped with the imprimatur of the Nat King Cole trio and blessed by her apprenticeship with the late West Coast piano giant Jimmy Rowles, Krall simply sings songs the way they're ... |

Wishes (Holiday Album)(more) »rank: 4007by: Kenny G
: :Kenny G's 1999 Faith album was an unexpected triumph of content and creativity. The album was largely driven by the long 'Millennium Mix' buried at the end of the CD--an inspired soundbyte tour of the last century's historical triumphs and tragedies, with the alto sax man playing 'Auld Lang Syne' underneath, it's emotionally moving and timely. The Kenny G of Wishes lacks the vision he displayed with Faith. Among the 10 tracks, two secular medleys ('Frosty the Snowman'/'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' and 'Deck the Halls'/'The Twelve Days of Christmas') are matched by the sacred medley of 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' and ... |
