Give Him The Ooh-La-La

performed by Blossom Dearie, 1926-2009 (Verve Records, 1998), 41 mins
Of the six recordings Blossom Dearie did for the Verve label in the '50s, Give Him the Ooh-La-La is the third one to be released on CD. Three titles still remain in the vaults including a Betty Comden and Johnny Green tribute as well as a Broadway Hits collection. It's a shame because Dearie's girlishly dynamic vo...

As the latest edition in its For Lovers series, Verve issues this stellar collection of cuts by "the Voice" himself, Johnny Hartman. Indeed, given the nature of Hartman's significant -- and even singular contribution -- to the art of the ballad, it's a wonder that the label didn't issue one before now. The 11 trac...

Hello Love

conducted by Frank DeVol; performed by Ella Fitzgerald, 1917-1996, The Frank DeVol Orchestra (Verve Records, 2004), 44 mins
A fine gem among the diamonds of Ella Fitzgerald's late-'50s period with Verve, Hello Love may not have approached the quality of her songbooks, but it did allow her to sing a few fine songs she'd missed the first time around. (And although none of the songbook giants are represented, the material is hardly second...

Here's To Life

performed by Shirley Horn, 1934-2005 (Verve Records, 1992), 1 hour 2 mins
Shirley Horn's meeting with a string section and an orchestra arranged by Johnny Mandel has some exquisite moments although sometimes it is just overly sweet. Horn recorded with her trio (which includes bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams) first, emphasizing slow ballads. Mandel used the pianist-vocal...

High Priestess Of Soul

conducted by Hal Mooney; performed by Nina Simone, 1933-2003, Hal Mooney's Orchestra (Verve Records, 2006), 35 mins
Perhaps a bit more conscious of contemporary soul trends than her previous Philips albums, this is still very characteristic of her mid-'60s work in its eclectic mix of jazz, pop, soul, and some blues and gospel. Hal Mooney directs some large band arrangements for the material on this LP without submerging Simone'...

I'll Be Easy to Find

performed by Teri Thornton, 1934-2000 (Verve Records, 1999), 52 mins
After a nearly 40-year hiatus, Thornton is back to swing and sing her way into your heart. In comparison to her old Riverside recordings, it seems she's lost nothing vocally, the angelic clarity and souful vibrato intact, her enthuisiasm spiking depth charts. She's backed by her own piano on four cuts, the able Ra...
