Still More Genius Of Jankowski

The Shadow Of Your Smile

Still More Genius Of Jankowski
Arranged and Conducted by Horst Jankowski and Bernd Rabe
Produced by Lou Reizner
Mercury Records
SR 61076
1966

From Billboard - March 26, 1966: More keyboard wizardry from the German genius in this delightful program; a potpourri of great international melodies. Top programming and sales results guaranteed.

From the back cover: Horst Jankowski is now occupied with his own radio and TV shows, recording, arranging and composing, that he has been forced to refuse requests to perform and accompany such greats as Benny Goodman and Ella Fitzgerald who have "commanded" his services in the past during their European tours. Jankowski is now a star and recognized as one of the most renowned pianists on the Continent, having come a long way since his first band days with Erwin Lehn, an outstanding German orchestra leader.

Also interesting to note are the honors that have been bestowed on Jankowski here in America. Within six months times, the Bibles of the music business such as Billboard, Cash Box and Record World have acclaimed Jankowski as best Composer, Arranger and Orchestrator. His composition of "A Walk In The Black Forest" has been nominated for the coveted NARAS (National Academy of Records, Arts and Sciences) awards, in not one, but three categories; "Best Instrumental Performance," "Best New Artist" and "Best Instrumental Arrangement."

Latin Escapade - George Shearing

Old Devil Moon

Latin Escapade
The George Shearing Quintet
Capitol Records T 737
1957

From Billboard - February 23, 1957: This is Shearing in a quite commercial mood – sultry, Latin American tunes, done by the quintet in extremely danceable style. There is a lot of this type of material on LPs, but not too much has the technical quality of Shearing's quintet.

Femme Fatale - Hadda Brooks

1957

From Billboard - April 13, 1957: The most of these have been issued previously as singles during the last 10 years, Hadda Brooks' vocals work is still refreshingly welcome. The hushed tones are all pear-shaped, while the music is quiet and strangely winsome. At the suggested list price of $1.98, the package is a buy and is deserved of being stocked by dealers. "There Is No Greater Love," a big hit years ago, is an excellent demo track

Melodies Of Love - Wayne King

My Chrysanthemum Flower

Melodies Of Love

Wayne King And His Orchestra
Decca Records DL 8124
1955

From Billboard - May 4, 1955: Record buyers will be given their choice of Wayne King love melodies – plural or singular – this month with RCA Victor bringing out a collector's issue by King titled "Melody Of Love" and this package of new King waxings tagged "Melodies of Love." The chief difference in the two albums is that this one is purely instrumental, a factor which could influence sales in its favor, since the vogue for King-styled music was originally sparked by Billy Vaughn's instrumental version of the oldie. In addition to the title song, this package includes 11 other dreamy instrumentals. An added sales plus for the LP is the photo of a screen beauty on the cover.

From Billboard - September 30, 1967: Miss Raney has herself a groovy album here which makes for very pleasant listening. And with the proper exposure, she could start sparking attention. Mis Raney has a polished, easygoing, but very much alive delivery. Her rendition of "Groovin'" a gem and the other 10 numbers also sparkle.
