The current CD includes one of his rare albums that could fit within the standard formula of “jazz star 1 meets jazz star 2”. The pianist seldom shared the bill with other stars or accepted playing second fiddle to anyone. Apart from this studio session, Monk and Mulligan were only recorded together on one other occasion at the first Newport Jazz Festival (which took place two years before the actual studio date). “Now’s the Time”, from that concert, is added here as a bonus track.

Includes 12-page booklet 63635 CD: $15.00] 14 [Item Code: FLARE 281 JACK LEONARD THIS IS IT - THE BEST OF JACK LEONARD WITH TOMMY DORSEY I’m In A Dancing Mood • Where Are You • If My Heart Could Only Talk • You’re Here, You’re There, You’re Everywhere • Dedicated To You • Marie • Sweet Is The Word For You • Love Is Never Out Of Season • Have You Got Any Castles, Baby? • An Old Flame Never Dies • In The Still Of The Night • Who Knows • If It’s The Last Thing I Do • Josephine • Who • In A Mission By The Sea • Just Let Me Look At You • Yearning • The Lamp Is Low • Sweet Sue – Just You • Midnight On The Trail • Heaven Can Wait • This Is It • Our Love • How Am I To Know • Blue Orchids [1936-1939] As lovers of the Big Band era know very well, Tommy Dorsey’s first vocalist was Jack Leonard. This is the first ever CD to celebrate the partnership that was so much a part of the Big Band sound. Leonard became an immensely popular singer, and through a series of hit records helped put Dorsey at the very top. This CD collection presents 26 great tracks from Leonard’s period with the band, tracks that include several of their hit parade successes as well as very fine recordings that are not as well known.

Add to these songs the lush orchestral arrangements of the great Harry Zimmerman, and the result is, in the words of Oscar Hammerstein, something wonderful. There are many who believe that Dinah never made a finer album in her long and distinguished career – and not surprising – just listen to these numbers. With an 8-page booklet illustrated with many photographs. [Item Code: 63522 CD: $18.00] worldsrecords.com (800) 742-6663 14

Fresh from her phenomenal success in the latter, she recorded an album of songs with the orchestra of Pete King. It is a stunning collection, with a programme of songs from some of the finest composers. Most of the songs are ballads. [Item Code: 63463 CD: $18.00] FRESH SOUND 5048 CHUCK BERGHOFER TRIO WITH JAN LUNDGREN, JOE LA BARBERA SPECIAL GUEST SUE RANEY THE FILM MUSIC OF RALPH RAINGER - THANKS FOR THE MEMORY Miss Brown to You • Easy Living • Sweet is the Word for You • Please • Blue Hawaii • If I Should Lose You (a) • Havin’ Myself A Time • Faithful Forever • June in <strong>January</strong> • Moanin’ Low • Here Lies Love • I Wished on the Moon • Love in Bloom • Thanks for the Memory (a) • For These Memories... Thanks! (Vocalist: a- Sue Raney) (Personnel: Jan Lundgren, Joe La Barbera) [2008] Tragically died at the age of forty-one, Ralph Rainger (1901-1942) was in his time one of America’s most admired and respected composers. A giant contributor to the Hollywood musical of the 30s, whose timeless hits include “Easy Living,” “I Wished on the Moon,” “If I Should Lose You” and Academy Award winner “Thanks for the Memory”. The music he wrote will endure forever, but today his name is hardly recognized. For some inexplicable reason, you seldom find Rainger linked with contemporaries Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jimmy McHugh, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers or Harry Warren, yet his best melodies were certainly equal in calibre to those iconic figures. This CD celebrating the composer’s finest achievements should help to redress the balance and right a patent wrong to the memory of a remarkable talent. Justice has been done by three exceptional musicians: pianist Jan Lundgren, bassist Chuck Berghofer, drummer Joe La Barbera, and a legendary vocalist, Sue Raney, who know understand appreciate the Rainger canon. [Item Code: 63470 CD: $16.00] 5049 CHARLES DAVIS QUARTET OUR MAN IN COPENHAGEN PLAYS THE MUSIC OF BENT JAEDIG Atlicity • Drum Case • The Red Lightning • Ballad for Brew • Rod’s Shtick • Sizzling • The Strootch (Personnel: Sam Yahel, Ben Street, Kresten Osgood) [2006] Like Bent, Charles is well known and highly respected by his peers, but not as known to the general public as he deserves to be. He also has remained open to all types of music in his long career and today he is still found in as different contexts as Barry Harris group and the Sun Ra Arkestra. He is completely committed to his musical message, a timeless yet constantly evolving message. Like Bent, he has released only a handful of albums under his own name, but they are of extremely high quality. Charles Davis is a master of the saxophone and I am truly honored that he has agreed to do this album. His writing was sparse, but when he wrote something it was precise. I would guess that there are around 15 Bent Jaedig compositions that we know of. On this album we have recorded 8 of them. I wanted people to hear this music interpreted by the best quartet I could imagine. I see Ben Street as the most important bassist of his generation, highly original and sophisticated, also Sam Yahel, to me, is playing the most exiting stuff on the scene today on piano and organ. [Item Code: 63471 CD: $16.00] FROG 69 THE MISSOURIANS STOPPIN’ THE TRAFFIC Blue Grass Blues (a) • Sailing on Lake Ponchartrain (a) • Swinging the Swing (b) • A St. Louis Chant (b) • Some of These Mornings (c) • Yes Sir, That’s My Baby (c) • Alabamy Bound (c) • Western Melody (b) • Blues That’s All (b) • I Found A New Baby (e) • Market Street Stomp (f) • Ozark Mountain Blues (f) • Ozark Mountain Blues #2 (f) • You’ll Cry For Me But I’ll Be Gone (f) • You’ll Cry For Me But I’ll Be Gone #2 (f) • Missouri Moan (f) • I’ve Got Someone (f) • 400 Hop (f) • Vine Street Drag (f) • Scotty Blues (f) • 200 Squabble (f) • Swingin’ Dem Cats (f) • Stoppin’ The Traffic (f) • Prohibition Blues (f) (Artists: a- Seminole Syncopators; b- Harry’s Happy Four; c- Sara Martin With Harry’s Happy Four; e- Andy Preer’s Cotton Club Orchestra; f- The Missourians) [1924-1930] The Missourians were the house band at the Cotton Club for two and a half years starting in 1924 and eventually Cab Calloway took over the band and many of the group backed Cab well into the 1940s. The 24 tracks compiled here were recorded between 1924-1930 on the Okeh and Victor labels and include: Blue Grass Blues, Alabamy Bound, A St. Louie Chant, Prohibition Blues, Market Street Stomp, Swingin’ Dem Cats.
