Popular Music We All Love [Reader's Digest 9 LP Boxset] [1969] Reader's Digest RDS-37-M

 

This box set was a freebie and included with a stack of other albums.  It looked great; the records were shiny and there were no noticeable spindle marks.  Unfortunately once on the turntable, the sound was not very good.  Lots of background noise -  clicks and pops that really burst my bubble!  So, fair warning, you will definitely hear some noise as I don't over-process the sound reduction when digitizing my records.  ~Gipsy Dancer~  😞

Ain't She Sweet? Volumes 1 and 2 (Personal Compilation) [2014]

I hope someone is interested in doing more than gazing at the album art on this blog!  I am totally perplexed as to why there are so few requests for the music and even fewer comments.  Don't be shy - what do you like or dislike about this blog?

Stardust Ballroom: The Very Best of The Sweet Bands [Reader's Digest 4 CD Set] [2001] Reader's Digest Music SST103505

When swing became popular and the big-band craze first landed in the '30s, not every American -- nor every fan of music -- was ready for the hard-swinging style led by Fletcher Henderson and Benny Goodman. The sweet bands, often derided and unfairly compared to those swing bands also active during the 1930s and '40s, came out of a different tradition entirely. Though similarly influenced by jazz maestros from Duke Ellington to Louis Armstrong, the sound of the sweet band was simply an outgrowth from the society orchestra of the 1910s and '20s. Based mostly in New York, hundreds of society bands fanned out across the metropolis each weekend, playing easily recognizable versions of the hits-of-the-day for light dances and debutante balls. The major early sweet bands, Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians and Les Brown & His Band of Renown, paved the way for the most popular band of the World War II era, the Glenn Miller Orchestra. And even after large orchestras became unfeasible after the war, the sound of the sweet bands lived on for decades via The Lawrence Welk Show and various big-band tours.

Love’s Philosophy 

By Percy Bysshe Shelley 

The fountains mingle with the river 

   And the rivers with the ocean, 

The winds of heaven mix for ever 

   With a sweet emotion; 

Nothing in the world is single; 

   All things by a law divine 

In one spirit meet and mingle. 

   Why not I with thine?— 

See the mountains kiss high heaven 

   And the waves clasp one another; 

No sister-flower would be forgiven 

   If it disdained its brother; 

And the sunlight clasps the earth 

   And the moonbeams kiss the sea: 

What is all this sweet work worth 

   If thou kiss not me?

Jazz For Lovers: Milestones of Jazz Legends (20 Original Albums) [10 CD Set] [2018] Intense Media 600456

 

20 original albums of sensual mood music by some of Jazz's biggest artists.

~Gipsy Dancer~  👍

"Jazz is the expression of America's romantic self, its sensual potency, its lyrical power," according to Anaïs Nin. The author of the erotic essays in Delta of Venus knew what she was talking about - and it's not unlikely that she was talking about the music in this collection, as this unique CD box set presents lyrical, sensual, and thoroughly romantic mood music from some of the greatest jazz stars.

Titles like "Jazz for Playboys" by Frank Wess, the George Shearing / Red Norvo classic "Midnight On Cloud 69", Mundell Lowe's "Blues For A Stripper" or Richie Kamuca's "Jazz Erotica" leave as little to the imagination as the scandalously undressed models on the covers of these original albums. On some occasions, even the artists themselves - namely Abbey Lincoln and Eartha Kitt - wore as little as possible on the covers.

Featuring excellent recordings from 1949 to 1962, these ballads, blues, and bebop beauties are guaranteed to get any jazz lover in the mood.

CD 1: Woody Herman - Songs For Hip Lovers / Frank Wess - Jazz For Playboys

CD 2: Paul Smith - By The Fireside / Johnny Mathis - Open Fire, Two Guitars

CD 3: Chris Connor - Witchcraft / Eartha Kitt - That Bad Eartha

CD 4: Abbey Lincoln - Abbey Lincoln's Affair ... The Story Of A Girl In Love / Chet Baker and Art Pepper - Playboys

CD 5: George Shearing & Red Norvo - Midnight On Cloud 69 / Terry Gibbs - More Vibes On Velvet

CD 6: Beverly Kenney - Sings For Playboys / Richie Kamuca - Jazz Erotica

CD 7: Kenny Drew - A Harold Arlen Showcase / Kenny Drew - A Harry Warren Showcase

CD 8: Luiz Bonfa - Amor! / Conte Candoli and Art Pepper - Mucho Calor
