OUTSTANDING COLLECTION

scotsladdie | 05/18/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Artie Shaw's 1939-1940 sides are interesting to hear;you can sense just how quickly styles changed in those days ( the addition of strings in '40 gave the band more dimension.) Helen Forrest sings her classic interpretations of "I Didn't Know What Time it Was" and "All the Things You Are" while there are novel instrumentals such as "A Deserted Farm" and "Shadows". "Adios, Marquita Linda" was the lovely flipside of the million+selling "Frenesi" and the morbidly novel "Gloomy Sunday" is creepily depressing! Check out "My Fantasy" - it's the same melody as "Stranger in Paradise"!"

Sentimental music

"Fantastic!!! I purchased this cd for my dad and he thoroughly enjoyed it and the truth be known, I loved it myself even though I've never listened to Big Band style music. An excellent selection of songs that are well played, beautiful vocals and a variety of tempos. The pretty 'All Things You Are' is a stand out for me and the sad and unusual 'Gloomy Sunday', very nicely done. This series is described as the chronological order of songs as they were performed but the songs flow together so nicely as if they had been intended for an album just like this. I hope the others in the series are this good!"
