Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years
: :A 20-track collection from the Reprise years that tries to cover too much ground. Very Good Years sweeps from the early 1960s to 1979's 'New York New York,' focusing on the most obvious Sinatra standards. The watchword here isn't art but populism. That's not a problem, really--but it means that serious fans (or those aspiring to be) will be better served elsewhere. It would be a fine introduction for the casual music lover, but so would any decent collection. For a compact Reprise-era sampler, try either this one or something from ...

Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album
:Album Description:Talk about smooth! Tony Bennett is the very definition of the word. Snowfall practically renders every other version of the songs included here null and void. Even 'White Christmas' sounds better in Tony's hands than it did in Bing's. It could be because Bennett's warmth extends not only from the quality of those pipes but his delivery. How many other grown men do you know who could get away with 'My Favorite Things'? But it goes without saying that the collection's finest moments come when the crooner takes the romantic ...

Fiddler on the Roof (1964 Original Broadway Cast)
: :Fiddler on the Roof is one of Broadway's great classics. Based on the tales of Sholem Aleichem, the musical tells the humorous and heartbreaking story of the milkman Tevye as he tries to maintain the simplicities of his traditional life even as his daughters grow up and Russia heads toward revolution. Many of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's songs have become touchstones of popular culture, including 'Tradition,' 'If I Were a Rich Man,' and 'Sunrise, Sunset.' As Tevye, Zero Mostel leads--and at times dominates--the original 1964 Broadway cast, displaying irrepressible swagger ...

When I Look in Your Eyes
:Album Description:Japanese edition of the accomplished Canadian jazz pianist/ vocalist's 1999 outing with 'P.S. I Love You' added as a bonus track, for a total of 14 selections. :Years after the '90s, the decade will be remembered for the rise of pianist-vocalist Diana Krall. Simply put, this British Columbian-born artist is one of the most engaging musicians to emerge from the heap of scat-happy singers high on pyrotechnics, but short on poetry. Stamped with the imprimatur of the Nat King Cole trio and blessed by her apprenticeship with the late West ...
