JSngry Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I remember like Carly Simon's Torch fairly well, but in looking for a pimp-clip, I realized that it was the production that I like, not the record itself. Still, if you can seondaryize the vocals on a vocal record, hey, still a good enough time to be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that set, but haven't opened it yet. That's something to look forward to. At this point, I'd say Willie Nelson is almost more of a jazz singer than he is a country singer.

mikeweil Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Bought this one after it was mentioned somewhere around here: https://www.discogs.com/Rickie-Lee-Jones-Pop-Pop/release/9499825 I always regretted that she never recorded a whole album with Benny Carter arrangements - just a few tracks on this album: https://www.discogs.com/Maria-Muldaur-Waitress-In-The-Donut-Shop/master/239012 Edited November 19, 2018 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hadn't noticed this thread before (or canot recall it), but here's one for European forumusts (or those who have an awareness for this kind of acts). Perennial pop singer NANA MOUSKOURI did a jazz-flavored album produced by Quincy Jones in 1962 (when she had already made a name for herself in pop circles). I haven't heard it but have read appreciative things about it. Her treatment of these standards seems to have turned the "American Songbook" into a sort of "French Songbook". Lest the usual suspects throw in evermore Youtube clips, here is one right away: She did another album in a somewhat similar vein with an orchestra conducted by Bobby Scott in 1965.

I did not see any credit for arrangements on the "jazz album" tracks -- an odd omission since the extensive liner notes essay by Andrew Batt includes a lot of other details; for example, did you know Ms. Gentry was a part owner of the Phoenix Suns? They are bare bones recordings with Ms. Gentry accompanied by just guitar, bass and maybe piano and drums on some tracks. I guess strings would have been overdubbed had the project not been abandoned. She sounds quite good on "Save Your Love For Me" and "Stormy" (which also has a nice guitar solo, but I don't know if it's by her or by whom), but "Here's That Rainy Day" just plods along. "The Windows of The World" is probably my favorite Bacharach/David song and it still sounds gorgeous in this stark setting of just voice and guitar.

JSngry Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Ah, if it's a bare session like that, whatever arrangements existed were probably hers. She had skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 On 17/11/2018 at 7:26 PM, Teasing the Korean said: Bumping this old thread of mine. I finally got around to picking up the Doris Day with Andre Previn album. It is indeed very good, and I also like the fact that the song selection is a little bit unusual. "Nobody's Heart" by Rodgers and Heart is such a great tune, and it is not recorded often. Doris Day is my favourite female singer. She's always truthful and immediate, if you know what I mean. Not sure what the "pabulum" remark elsewhere refers to. Most of her recordings are standards with classy pop arrangements. Her material was more consistently good than, say, Perry Como's.

That's a beautiful composition, most stunning anti-Vietnam War song imaginable. Would love to hear Gentry's version, and I treasure Warwick's, and Scott Walker's. The windows of the world are covered with rain Where is the sunshine we once knew? Everybody knows when little children play They need a sunny day to grow straight and tall Let the sun shine through The windows of the world are covered with rain When will those black skies turn to blue? Everybody knows when boys grow into men They start to wonder when their country will call Let the sun shine through The windows of the world are covered with rain What is the whole world coming to? Everybody knows when men can not be friends Their quarrel often ends where some have to die Let the sun shine through The windows of the world are covered with rain There must be something we can do Everybody knows whenever rain appears It's really angel tears How long must they cry? Let the sun shine through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgcim Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I loved the Steve Miller album "Born 2 Be Blue", despite the synth strings, and glossy production by Ben Sidran, It featured Milt Jackson and Phil Woods. Miller took songs like "Willow Weep For Me", "Mary Anne" (Ray Charles), "When Sunny Gets Blue", and Born To Be Blue, and used his natural, bluesy falsetto to make the songs his own, like Kenny Rankin, another great cross-over artist in this style. This kind of approach can go horribly wrong in the hands of someone like Sting, whose attempt to sing "My Funny Valentine" has left me severely traumatized for life. No amount of talk therapy, ECT treatments, and powerful psychotropic drugs can erase an experience like that, and I'm trying to spare you the horror of PTSD (Post Traumatic Sting Disorder), before it's ruined your life, as it's done mine...

GA Russell Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 No one has mentioned Nat Cole yet. Steve Allen defined a jazz singer to be either one who sings jazz or one who sings in front of a jazz band. I therefore offer for your consideration that his vocals with the King Cole Trio were jazz vocals, though few Americans remember him as a jazz singer.

I think of him as a jazz singer who later made pop albums. He died around the time I started listening to music, my mother loved "Ramblin' Rose", and I dismissed him for decades based on that and "Lazy Hazy Days of Summer". Then I heard the trio stuff and thought/think it was fabulous, and that (re)defined him for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to limit the discussion, but I was trying to differentiate between singers like Nat (and Frank, Tony, Peggy, Julie, et al) who recorded lots of stuff in a jazz or jazzy vein, regardless of whether you consider them "jazz" or "pop" singers. Personally, I would consider Nat to be a jazz artist who went pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
