Description:
Jazz has always placed a premium on instrumental virtuosity but after sampling 3 discs' worth of great jazz vocalists, you will have seen how the human voice stands up as a Jazz instrument in its own right. Whatever the conclusion, we guarantee you'll have been entertained, as well as educated, along the way.

The Very Best Jazz Vocalists, 60 Original Jazz Classics, NOT3CD182CD1 covers 1946 to 1962; CD2 covers 1946 to 1962; and CD3 1944 to1962. The running times for this eclectic collection are CD1, 60.26; CD2, 60.13 & CD3, 57.52.This 60 track collection is a wonderful review of jazz singing styles and a chance to hear both the most well known "names" along with the jazz singers that fans would travel miles to see and hear. Excellent sound transfers. Informative liner notes by Not Now Music regular Joseph Adair.The earliest recordings come from the Second World War era and it will not surprise you to know that it is the band and voice of Cab Calloway CD1/16 & CD3/10. Louis Jordan offers one of his well known numbers CD2/18 & CD3/6.The most well known and identifiable trumpet player of the 20th Century was surely Louis Armstrong and his vocal style of scat singing can be heard on some mainstream recordings which were highly popular. Likewise the magical pairing of Louis and Ella gets a well deserved airing too. I can see the LPs of both sat beside the record player of a local watch repairer...he found their music the perfect accompaniment to carrying out repairs. Others may well have preferred the smokey haunts and late nights but this chap had his own way of relaxin'.Not everyone will agree that Frank Sinatra was a jazz singer and perhaps the bar room setting he used for "One for My Baby" is the focus of his non easy listening style but he was mainly "middle of the road". The songs chosen her are Songbook classics with the great arrangements. Fine performances from a great song stylist.Nat King Cole was certainly a jazz performer and his origins as a jazz piano player and vocalist go way back...the songs here are the soft jazzy treatment of "Let There be Love"; "Just One of Those Things" & the mainstream middle of the road hit " Unforgettable".Mel Tormé could certainly scat sing with the best of them and he is well represented on this collection. In a long career he did just about everything and kept working and delighting audiences. The performances here date from 1960 to 1962.Well known amongst jazz fans are a host of performers who are not mainstream in the public eye and yet have had a loyal following...I think Mark Murphy is the longest performing of this category. Jazz fans will know the word vocalese and it was coined by jazz critic Leonard Feather to describe the first Lambert, Hendricks & Ross album, "Sing a Song of Basie" The Mark Murphy tracks come from his Riverside LP "Rah" CD1/10 & CD1/8 and the Riverside single "Why Don't You Do Right?" CD3/2.Oscar Brown Jr. is represented by songs from 2 LPs the 1960 "Sin & Soul" on Columbia and 1962s "Between Heaven and Hell". He was only a jazz singer but also a songwriter, playwright, poet and civil rights activist.Johnny Hartman was a jazz singer who specialized in ballads and earned critical acclaim, though he was never widely known and that does seem to be the case with many jazz singers. The song "Where or When" demonstrates his way with a ballad and comes from the Bethlehem LP "All of Me-The Debonair Mr Hartman".Betty Carter sings "One Note Samba" from the Atco LP 'Round Midnight CD1/11. She was known for her improvisational technique, scatting and other complex musical abilities that demonstrated her vocal talent and imaginative interpretation of lyrics and melodies. The vocalist Carmen MacRae once remarked, "There's really only one jazz singer – only one: Betty Carter."The well known ladies are all here Billie; Etta; Nina; Dinah; Peggy; Anita; Eartha; Carmen; Sarah and plenty more...The companion to this excellent 3 CD set is The Very Best of Jazz Instrumentals, 45 Original Jazz Classics on 3 CDs, NOT3CD183.
