Like what you hear?... Buy the album here!

Album Description: This wonderful album, recorded by The United States Coast Guard Dixieland Band, contains many selections considered to be standards in the Dixieland repertoire. They have been played by many of the greatest Dixieland musicians including Bob Crosby's Bobcats, the Dukes of Dixieland, Pete Fountain, Al Hirt, Louis Armstrong, and Jack Teagarden, to name a few. South is the first recorded release by the United States Coast Guard Dixieland Band. The Band was formed in 1969 to play authentic blues and rags with a distinctive New Orleans flavor. Showcasing the lineup of fine players, each track is played splendidly. Songs on the album include classics like "Yellow Dog Blues," "Fidgety Feet" and "Wabash Blues." This album is dedicated to the men and women of the United States Coast Guard who selflessly performed their duty in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. South is a fantastic reflection of the cutting edge of today's Dixieland music.

Rosemary Clooney: 16 Most Requested Songs

Music Performed By:
Rosemary Clooney

Born May 23, 1928, in Maysville, Kentucky, the distinctively unpretentious, deep, rich, and smooth voice of Rosemary Clooney earned her recognition as one of America's premiere pop and jazz singers. In 1951 Mitch Miller convinced Clooney to record an oddball song, Come On-a My House. When Miller first suggested the song, Clooney was highly skeptical, insisting the song was not her kind of material. Much to her surprise, the song was an immediate and enormous success, topping the charts to become a gold record. Come On-a My House made Rosemary Clooney a star.

Harry James & His Orchestra

Featuring:
Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra made his first studio recordings on July 13, 1939 with a band led by the man who gave him his first real break in show business -- trumpeter Harry James. Every song the two performed together is included here, includes studio and previously unreleased live performances. A must have for the fan of early Blue Eyes
Total Time: 59 minutes

This album is a must for Sinatra-James-Jazz fans. The orchestra arrangements are simply remarkable given the era and the recording techniques. James is at his finest, with a full and vibrant trumpet sound, pure in quality.

Fewer than 8,000 copies of "From the Bottom of My Heart" (Brunswick #8443) were sold, making the record a very rare find that is sought after by record collectors worldwide. Sinatra released ten commercial tracks with James through 1939, including "All or Nothing At All," which had weak sales on its initial release but then sold millions of copies when re-released by Columbia at the height of Sinatra's popularity a few years later. These songs are treasures.

"There have been many compilations of Spike Jones' music, but few have been better than RCA's 1999 collection, Greatest Hits. Over the course of 20 tracks, all of Jones' best-known songs are presented in their best-known versions, including "Leave the Dishes in the Sink, Ma," "My Old Flame," "Der Fuehrer's Face," "The Sheik of Araby, "William Tell Overture," and "All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)." For the curious and dedicated alike, this is very useful indeed, since never before have so many of Jones' classics been presented on one disc, complete with strong liner notes and good fidelity." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

United States Air Force Band and Singing Sergeants - Christmas on Stage and Screen - 754422534925

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 10:58:03 -0500
]]>
Christmas- its story, its spirit, its nostalgia- has the unique ability to move and inspire us. It is the influence behind momentary, unnoticed acts of kindness, as well as timeless masterpieces of art and literature. The theater, motion pictures and television have especially benefited from this inspiration, having entertained us over the years with a wealth of images that have become part of our yuletide celebrations. After all, what would our holiday season be without the Nutcracker, Ebenezer Scrooge or the Grinch? Accompanying each of these visual images is music, and it is this music, which stirs warm memories of Christmases past, and that we find ourselves humming each December. This recording presents some of the best holiday music from the past 100 years of stage and screen.
