#I m The First?? (2002-12-19) I bought this cd last year and I love it!! This cd is a collection of classic performances by Verve s elite. The opening track is not Frank DeVol, who did indeed produce the track, it s Ella Fitzgerald. Another error found on this site is the artist listing for ",The Christmas Song",. It s Mel Torme s performance here. A couple of tracks reappear here, they were featured on Verve s release of ",Have Yourself A Jazzy Little Christmas", probably repeated here because of artist merit and performance. One such noteable track is Oscar Peter...

As the song goes, Merry Christmas has already been said many times, many ways. Diana Krall s Christmas Songs is a worthy--though not particularly unique--addition to the holiday catalog. On it, she excels with an approach mastered long ago: elegant delivery that gives extra polish to a very familiar lineup. Some might find her style frosty at times, but that will come as a relief to those who want their carolers to cut through some of the holiday treacle and create a festive, yet grown-up vibe. And Krall does show off her playful side with little, personal touches. In Winter Wonderland she promises to frolic and play the Canadian way, which should draw smiles from her native land. (That ll mean toasting the holiday with Molson, eh?) Elsewhere, she ends Jingle Bells with the girlishly giddy statement, I m just crazy about horses. Well…,can t argue with that. --Leah Weathersby

#Simply excellent ! (2007-12-17) Diana Krall has come up with a perfect Christmas album. The selection of material is flawless and loaded with classics - which, let s face it, is a key element in a Christmas record. Most of the songs on the album were recorded with a big band, which brings out the best in Krall, the result is slick, flawless and will perfectly suit your holiday season. When she turns down the tempo for piano-and-vocals ballads, it s intimate enough to make you feel as though she s sitting in the room with you. The highlights are Jingle bells, Winter wonderland, What...

#Wonderful (2006-06-29) this is a wonderful album to add to your Christmas stash!!Diana can really feel music, and we as a listener reap the benefits of this gift. She is just one more great voice of this generation. . . so many now with Diana, Nora, Michael B, Harry C. and still one of my favs, Tony Bennett. . . . Keep this wonderful music coming everyone, as we will keep on buying your beautiful music.

#3.5 stars (2005-12-22) Great CD if you need xmas tunes for the holidays. Much nicer than the usual crap out there. Problem with this CD is that every time you turn on the radio it s being played. As usual with her CDs her voice has been butched by the studio/producer, (typicial echo overlay). If you want to hear her real voice see her live, and even then it s still a bit wonky.

#This is not a review (2005-12-08) Don t buy from CAIMAN USA. Very bad services.

#Bad Photo (2005-12-05) Photos are subjective, but i think Diana needs to find a new photographer, it looks like she fell in this chair and is finding that s it s hurting way too much. What a waste of an image on a high class act. ORC

#Oscar Peterson s Trio Performance:One of the Best. (2003-07-02) This re-release by Verve preserves, in my opinion, one of the best trio performances. In the Still of the Night , Peterson s subtle single melody nuances and left hand chords are complimented by Ray Brown s wonderful bass. Ed Thigpen maintains the tempo with his stylish brush technique. The rest of the CD is hampered only slightly by the volme inconsistencies from one number to the next, created by the studio. This is a great CD.

#BUY IT EYES CLOSED (2003-05-31) OSCAR PETERSON s 1959 piano tribute to COLE PORTER is a joy even if it s only 33 minutes long. We could have take an another half hour of this music. What makes it so enjoyable is the variety of moods it delivers. There was actually another PORTER songbook recorded in mono,but for a reason i ignore,they did not coupled it with this one to make it last longer. A message to VERVE:did they lost the masters of the RICHARD RODGERS songbook,and if not,what are they waiting for?

#Oscar Peterson is S wonderful (2003-01-26) How can one go wrong setting Cole Porter music down. . . How can the Great Oscar Peterson go wrong either? He didn t. Oscar is a shining example of what makes a truely wonderful, gifted musician. His dynamics, touch and feeling are really a joy to listen to. Well done! Enjoy!

#cole porter and rythm (2001-02-25) well, i can play Cole in 1. 000 ways . All the ways are wonderful.

#Yes, oh yes, indeed, yes, yes, yes! (2000-05-20) Every time I play this CD people ask about it. I have never seen something so universally loved. It creates and sustains a lazy summer afternoon mood like no other.

Pop s rush to raid the cradle continues with this promising debut by 25-year-old Canadian singer Michael Bublé. And while the young vocal star s good looks are smart enough for a boy band, his muse seems to have sprung from a more sassy and compelling musical era. Mentored by Paul Anka (whose 50s hit Put Your Head on My Shoulder is covered in dreamy, cabaret fashion here), Bublé sings in the orbits of Darin and Sinatra, covering swing epoch gems (Come Fly with Me, The Way You Look Tonight, That s All) and rock era standards (Van Morrison s Moondance, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart by the Brothers Gibb, Queen s Crazy Little Ting Called Love) with equal aplomb. David Foster s production is typically slick and played to the back row of the bleachers, but it s informed by smart contexts provided by such arrangers as Johnny Mandel, Randy Waldman, and Mike Melvoin. If the choices of material are sometimes staid and predictable, they also give the singer a crucial framework for building t...

#Bold and Brilliant by Bublé (2006-02-27) Doesn t get any better than this cd. Velvet smooth vocals, extraordinary production & supporting musicians. While the song mix may be somewhat eclectic, there would be no disputing that the Bublé signature has been carefully and respectfully put to each and every song. As Canada s Juno Choice as Best New Artist only a few short years ago, Bublé now finds himself recognized with 5 (five!) Juno nominations for this years awards - homegrown talent has hit the world stage. Long live Michael Bublé, who talks proudly about our great country an...

#juble buble (2005-12-22) i must agree with earlier comment, this man comes alive, playing live! his studio music does not do him the same justice. that s not to say it s not good entertainment - maybe you need to be viewing his boyish good looks to appreciate him best!i was surprised to find he is only 25, as he has such a sophisticated sound!i like this album best of his work to date, the best song for me is ",kissing a fool", as i loved the jazz/blues sound of this when george recorded it, so to have that cemented by a true jazz/blues artist is great. i only have one thing w...

#Michael Bublé ", THE BEST", (2005-03-15) Tony Good, Dean Better, Micheal the Best. Yes Bublé is Amazing, Michael you are by far the real thing. It s a Frank Sinatra with a voice, it s magic. . The Best CD ever, get this CD.

#GREAT (2004-08-31) This is one of the best voices i ve heard in a while! All of the songs are re-makes but he has such a Phenomenal voice that you dont really notice. All the songs sound slightly different than the original, but i think they sound better. I hope this was helpfull! its an amazing cd!

#une étoile est née (2004-07-30) Acheter le CD dès que vous pouvez il est vraiment bon je suis tombée sous le charme dès que je l ai écouté!

New Orleans pianist, singer, and songwriter Harry Connick Jr. has done what many makers of Christmas records strive for but seldom achieve: he s made a Christmas record that sounds convincingly like a 40s period piece and rigorously like a cool, contemporary jazz disc. His powerful, self-written Christmas songs sound like polished standards, and he delivers the whole package with a sassy, vocal economy (with the occasional New Orleans accent) and an orchestral richness that is never indulgent or overwhelming. When My Heart Finds Christmas is a true classic that no lover of big-band jazz and singing (in the Sinatra style)--and Christmas music--should be without. There are so many great moments here that singling any one out would be at the expense of the others. Still, the reverential, solo-piano intro to Ave Maria, Connick s own (It Must ve Been Ol ) Santa Claus, (a rousing, second-line swing tune), and his triumphant I Pray on Christmas (a get-happy-now gospel song) deserve mention i...

#Highly recommended!! (2005-11-28) Unlike some others here, I am not a huge Harry fan. That being said, this is one of my favourite holiday discs. Harry adds freshness to some of the classics and the original songs are funny and charming and nice. An excellent buy!

#warms you just like mulled wine! (2005-10-26) the title track, not just your heart finds it, it touches deeper than that. this song is just so beautiful, sentimental, touching, magical & soulful - it sums up the christmas spirit & gives you a warm glow, just like a warm glass of spiced mulled wine!",rudolph", - i played this track at a christmas gathering, the kids loved it & joined in!",winter wonderland", my other personal fave. the rest is a beautiful collection, one of the best christmas compilations i ve ever heard!

#Christmas Must Have (2003-12-17) I am a real Harry fan and I don t think I could make it through the holidays without this album. Does a great job with the classics and adds new songs that are a must for the Christmas season. Love it!!!

#Great reviews for a reason! (2003-12-07) I read the (very) few bad reviews here for this album and have to say that those folks must not be true Harry fans, because this album is extremely true to form for him. I don t buy the ",I love him normally, but. . . ", nonsense - he sang all of these great songs with the same passion and warmth that he has on all his non-seasonal albums. There is not a badly done song in the bunch, and he even made me like songs I hadn t really cared for before, such as ",Parade of the Wooden Soldiers", and ",Ave Maria",. Best cut...

#When My Heart Finds Christmas (2003-12-04) I purchase ",When My Heart Finds Christmas", along with Whitney Houston ",One Wish", Christmas album. I have to confess I love Whitney Houston s Christmas album. She sings some of the most beautiful Christmas songs on ",One Wish",. . . ",Joy To The World",, ",Who Would Imagine A King",,",O Holy Night", etc the list goes on. . . I m very happy I purchase ",Whitney Houston s Christmas album ",One Wish", along with ",When My Heart Finds Christmas",. It s definately one of m...
