32.His Original and Greatest Hits by: Phil Harris December 11, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.98 You Save: £2.01 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £36.24
To many people Phil Harris's fame started and ended with his role as the voice of Baloo the bear in Disney's Jungle Book. However this masterstroke of casting happened at the end of a singing career which started in the 1920s. This selection, which does cover his best and most popular work pre-Disney, dates from the 1940s, and many of the tracks will be familiar to anyone who remembers listening to radio programmes such as Children's Favourites then and through to the early 60s. Although by no means children's songs, they are for the most part songs that tell a story or gently satirise popular American culture of the time, and sung in a narrative style (the nearest comparison I can think of would be Rex Harrison without ...

I bought this CD for my wife who is already a huge Ella fan. If you can not afford to go 'the whole hog' and buy all of the Songbooks, then this is the perfect buy for you. It is all of the best!

35.RCA Original Masters The Best Of Glenn Miller (1938-1942) by: Glenn Miller June 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.38
On the back of this box set is says "RCA Original Masters is the only record label that can deliver the best possible sound recordings of the legendary Glenn Miller", unfortunately they don't do it here. This is a good value set of 60 of Miller's best tunes but the sound is not all that great, in fact RCA had a far better sounding collection called Glenn Miller Platinum out a few years ago, although it doesn't seem to be available at present. There was also a single disc on Nimbus produced by the legendary sound engineer Robert Parker which had incredible sound on some tracks, but this is also difficult to track down at the moment. If you don't have any Glenn Miller then this isn't a bad collection to start off with, ... Read More:

36.Big Band Bossa Nova by: Quincy Jones October 24, 2005

I'm not a music expert or anything like that. i just know that I like a good melody and pleasant sounds. I listen to this music in the car together with my 8 year old son and it puts a smile on both our faces. When ever I play this CD, anyone that hears it enjoys it's melodies and I keep havingt to buy it for my friends. This music is timeless and certainly sells Quincy Jones as a guy with a good ear for arranging different sounds and tempos within a piece of music. We can't get enough of the trumpets on No 3 i.e "Desafinado". We love the percussions in "Samba de Una Nota So" i.e tract 7. The flutes on track 9 and the trumpets on track 9 we could listen to over and over again. You can't go wrong with this music. My Dad is 70, I'm in my forties ... Read More:

37.Complete Jazz at Massey Hall by: Charlie Parker June 18, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.98 You Save: £2.01 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.86
This is one of the classic jazz recordings. The quintet consisted of Charlie Parker on sax, Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet, Charles Mingus on bass, Bud Powell on piano and Max Roach on drums. The lead-up to the concert itself was apparently a bit of a shambles, but the music is pretty amazing.

38.Spread a Little Happiness by: John Dankworth, & Cleo Laine March 20, 2006

Have to agree with the comments of previous reviewer. Having bought and enjoyed "The best of Johnny Dankworth\|" it seemed only sensible to buy this collection. Of the 51 music tracks that appear here 15 are on the "Best of " collection but don't let that put you off. I was particularly pleased to get, at long last, the original Seven recordings of "Two Ticks" and "Moon Flowers" as a very good friend of mine had, and probrably still has, the original 78 rpm. Highly recommended.
