Silk 'N' Brass - Jackie Gleason

Jackie Gleason

Produced by Dick Jones

Recording Engineer: Bob Arnold

Capitol Records SW 2409

1965

From the back cover: The tempos range from softly lilting, to medium, to fast, the styles from bossa nova and jazz waltz through ballads with a beat. The arrangements are  by George Williams, and the solo passages are by two first-rate horn men who have been featured in pervious Gleason albums, Pee Wee Erwin on trumpet and Charlie Ventura on tenor sax.

From Billboard - November 20, 1965: Once again Jackie Gleason has whipped up a lush orchestra sound to deliver a flock of flavorsome melodies. The repertoire is varied, covering jazz, bossa nova and ballad beats. The treatment is uniformly excellent.

Original Film Sound Tracks - Glenn Miller

From the back cover: The Hollywood Studio Sound

In the years since Miller broke up his band in 1942 to go into the Service, recorded sound has made some of its greatest advances and each passing year produces further refinements in the recording art. Today, recordings made in the 'Forties are apt to sound lack-lustre, so accustomed have our ears become to the wide-ranging fidelity of today's sound. But back then when the recording of phonograph disks was still – by today's standards – relatively primitive, the sound engineers of Hollywood were already far ahead of their colleagues in the phonograph studios. They were reproducing music on tape for film sound-tracks with a life-like faithfulness that could rarely be matched on a record.

In Orchestra Wives and Sun Valley Serenade, Glenn Miller's band received the benefits of this advanced recording. And now, in this album, you too share in its benefits for it enables you to hear the greatest popular band America has ever produced in the highest quality recordings it ever made.

From Billboard - November 24, 1958: This is likely to become a collector's item. It's a de luxe packaging job containing the original film sound tracks from the films "Orchestra Wives" and "Sun Valley Serenade" – the only two full length films in which the band was featured. Included are "In The Mood," "Bugle Call Rag," "I've Got A Gal In Kalamazoo," etc., plus some new performances which were edited out of the original films. There are also the voices of Ray Eberle, Marion Hutton, etc., and performances by the Miller Six. Inner fold of the two record set cover includes a terrific display piece – a photo of the Miller band, with names under each man.

Connie Francis & Hank Williams Jr. Sing Great Country Favorites

 

Singing The Blues

Connie Francis & Hank Williams, Jr. Sing Great Country Favorites
Vocal accompaniment by The Jordanaires
Produced by Jim Vinneau and Danny Davis
Director of Engineering: Val Valentin
MGM STEREO SE-4251
1965

From the back cover: The astute listener will note that the arrangements of Bill McElhiney carry out the theme of musical fusion and contrast. Violins and voices, for instance (both manifestations of the pop sound) are used extensively. Country fiddles are not used. Also, there is considerable use of the so-called gospel-styled piano. This latter technique, of course, has been a prominent element in recording arrangements for the past several years (ever since Floyd Cramer's hit, Last Date). These qualities, together with the song material and general sound – mark the album as Nashville-made.

From Billboard - February 20, 1965: Two top performers team up for a concert of pop-country music. Both Connie and Hank do great jobs with the great songs. Fine backing by massed strings and the Jordanaires. Tunes include "Wolverton Mountain," "Mule Skinner Blues," "Singing The Blues."

Dreamy - Sarah Vaughan

Sarah Vaughan

Back cover illustration: William Hofman
Roulette Birdland Series R 52046
1958

From the back cover: For her first Roulette album, Sarah Vaughan has joined forces with arranger Jimmy Jones and probably some of the best musicians in the recording field has to offer exquisite interpretations of twelve superb songs. There is the featured, softly muted and highly distinctive warmth of Harry 'Sweets' Edison trumpet, the lush string backdrop and the change of tempo to a light, rhythmic jazz flavor. There is the imaginative, always sensitive approach to melodic structure as well as lyric content of each song. Every etched groove of this collection is in the Sarah Vaughan tradition.

From Billboard - June 6, 1960: Handsome color photo of the canary gives this package strong display value. In her first album for Roulette, Miss Vaughan displays her usual creamy vocal quality of romantic standards. Selections include the title theme, "I'll Be Seeing You," "Crazy He Calls Me," "Stormy Weather,' and "Hands Across The Table." Sock Jockey wax.
