Album Review
Pop singer Frankie Laine always liked jazz and he had a longtime friendship with trumpeter Buck Clayton. They teamed up for this well-intentioned LP with a variety of top jazzmen, including pianist Sir Charles Thompson, tenor saxophonist Budd Johnson, trombonist Urbie Green, and (on a couple of numbers) guest trombonists J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding. Clayton and the jazzmen sound fine, and although Laine's vocals are certainly an acquired taste for jazz fans, there are plenty of highlights: "You Can Depend on Me," "Taking a Chance on Love," and "Roses of Picardy."
Customer Reviews
so nice to come home to
Mr. Laine has a gift. The gift to sing like no other. His voice warm and fresh sounds like a cool breeze on a sea shore ripped with waves. This is an excellent CD. With great songs that should please any jazz or vocal fan. ENJOY.
not a great mix
Frankie Laine in a jazz context doesn't work well. Having said that, Buck Clayton is a marvelous trumpet player and just as good an arranger. My Old Flame, on which Laine does NOT sing, is worth the price of the whole album.
