Respect: A Century of Women in Music
: :One of the most ambitious box sets yet, the five-CD Respect distills 89 years of recorded women's voices. Disparate styles and attitudes meet and mix with each other in the crosstalk, with personal, social, and musical values melding into an astounding whole. Attentive fans of pop music will probably find most of their major discoveries on the first two discs; for instance, Anna Chandler's 1916 'She's Good Enough to Be Your Baby's Mother and She's Good Enough to Vote with You' may very well find the listener with her or his ...

A Jazz Romance - A Night In With Verve
: :Reaching deep into its cavernous vaults, Verve has extracted a rich bountiful of moody and sentimental jazz, perfect for those long, expectant evenings or those equally long, rain-filled days. Nicely packaged with nostalgic, sepia-toned photographs on both the box and each individual CD, A Jazz Romance contains nearly 60 songs guaranteed to set a distinctly low- keyed mood, equal parts sultry and sad. The vast majority of the material is from bygone days of the '40s and '50s, with the more recent entries retaining that flavor. The four discs are entitled ...

The Beat Generation
: :This three-disc set is a gold mine for anyone with even a passing interest in the music, the poetry, and the people of the beat era. The stars--Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs--are here, of course. But so are the players (Charles Mingus, Gerry Mulligan), the architects (Kenneth Patchen, Kenneth Rexroth), the cutups (Lenny Bruce, Lord Buckley), the pretenders (Rod McKuen, Edd Byrnes), the critics (Carl Sandburg, Howard K. Smith), and the heirs (Tom Waits). What a great selection of vibrant poetry, hip music, and sonic ephemera. The well-annotated booklet offers classic photos, ...

75th Birthday Celebration
: :In the first decades of her career, Ella Fitzgerald took her considerable gifts as a vocalist--near-flawless intonation, precise diction, and a joyous sense of swing--and gradually transformed herself into one of the few great jazz singers, a master of roller-coaster improvisation and a consummate interpreter of standards. This two-CD set is an excellent sampling of her Decca recordings from 1938 to 1955, beginning with 'A-Tisket, A-Tasket,' the scintillating nonsense song that became her first hit as featured vocalist with Chick Webb's big band. The '40s recordings present Fitzgerald's broadening skills with ...
