Doris Day – Complete Recordings With Les Brown (2001)

Doris Day - Complete Recordings With Les Brown (2001)

Reissuing the identical material compiled elsewhere several times (most notably on Columbia’s The Complete Doris Day With Les Brown), Jazz Factory won’t win any points for originality, but the material itself is golden.

Diana Krall – Discography (1993 – 2015)

Diana Krall - Discography (1993 - 2015)

With her pre-bop piano style and cool but sensual singing, Diana Krall took the jazz world by storm in the late ’90s. By the turn of the century she was firmly established as one of the biggest sellers in jazz. Her 1996 album, All for You, was a Nat King Cole tribute that showed the singer/pianist’s roots, and she had great success in that traditional-minded mode before branching out into other styles in the 2010s.

The four-disc Golden Age of the Andrews Sisters, with a running time of more than four-and-three-quarters hours, contains more tracks — 101 — than any previously released Andrews Sisters compilation.
