before 1959
Bop's greatest diva, a highly influential jazz singer with extraordinary range and perfect intonation, ranging from soft and warm to harsh and throaty. Possessor of one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century, Sarah Vaughan ranked with Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday in the very top echelon of female jazz singers. She often gave the impression that with her wide range, perfectly controlled vibrato, and wide expressive abilities, she could do anything she wanted with her voice. Although not all of her many recordings are essential (give Vaughan a weak song and she might strangle it to death), Sarah Vaughan's legacy as a performer and a recording artist will be very difficult to match in the future.
Black Coffee (Sonny Burke / Paul Francis Webster) 3:16
You Taught Me to Love Again (Richard Carpenter / Tommy Dorsey / William Henri Woode) 3:16
Summertime (George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin / DuBose Heyward) 3:15
Twenty-eight of the 60 songs that Sarah Vaughan recorded for Columbia Records during her four years there. The early sides are arranged, with one exception (credited to Hugo Winterhalter), by Joe Lipman, while later sides have her working with a diverse group of arrangers and conductors, including Glenn Miller alumnus Norman Leyden and light music expert Paul Weston, and in a small group context, the latter credited to Vaughan's manager/husband George Treadwell. The sound is good within the context of the time the remasterings were done, and the distillation covers virtually all of Vaughan's best work from this period in her career.
Sunnyland Slim
Back to Korea Blues (Albert Luandrew) 3:00
Hit the Road Again (Andrew Luandrew) 3:12
from Sunnyland Slim 1949-1951 R&B Classics
Mississippi native Albert Luandrew came to Chicago in 1942, and with a little help from Tampa Red began entertaining the public using the name Sunnyland Slim. This second volume in the Classics Sunnyland Slim chronology documents his steady if spotty recording career from April 1949 to early December 1951. During this time Sunnyland made records for Mercury, Apollo, J.O.B., Regal, and his own Sunny label. Working up the piano, singing and at times screaming in a voice only slightly lower than that of J.B. Lenoir, Sunnyland invariably chose the toughest available players to back him up...
A brilliantly gifted guitarist and studio pioneer who was arguably the most innovative musician of his generation.
Bye ye Blues 2:06
Vaya Con Dios 2:53
Deep In The Blues 2:32
Les Paul had such a staggeringly huge influence over the way American popular music sounds today that many tend to overlook his significant impact upon the jazz world. Before his attention was diverted toward recording multi-layered hits for the pop market, he made his name as a brilliant jazz guitarist whose exposure on coast-to-coast radio programs guaranteed a wide audience of susceptible young musicians.
A music and film icon whose natural blend of country, pop, and R&B sold millions and became the cornerstone of rock & roll. Elvis Presley may be the single most important figure in American 20th century popular music. Not necessarily the best, and certainly not the most consistent. But no one could argue with the fact that he was the musician most responsible for popularizing rock & roll on an international level. Viewed in cold sales figures, his impact was phenomenal. Dozens upon dozens of international smashes from the mid-'50s to the mid-'70s, as well as the steady sales of his catalog and reissues since his death in 1977, may make him the single highest-selling performer in history.
My Happiness (Borney Bergantine / Betty Peterson) 2:33
That's All Right (Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup) 1:59
Blue Moon of Kentucky (Bill Monroe) 2:06
Mystery Train (Junior Parker / Sam Phillips) 2:30
from A Boy From Tupelo: The Complete 1953-1955 Recordings
A Boy from Tupelo rounds up all the known existing Elvis Presley recordings from 1953 through 1955, a sum total of 53 studio takes and 32 live performances... Still, those consumers in the market for the earliest Elvis will be satisfied by this, as it not only has everything in one convenient box but the addition of the live material does provide a nice coda to the familiar Sun sessions.
