mmilovan Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Oh man, how nice, how wonderful to listen to! For the last two days I listened to this very same clip around 30 times or so. Fresh, clever piece! And on those last few bars June Christy is simply magical! Edited May 17, 2009 by mmilovan Quote

jazzbo Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 I saw that possibility from a 78 listing. . . but . . . doesn't look like him to me. Ah well, nice Teddy Wilson style piano. Quote

Bluesnik Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 yeah, Something Cool is a good album. i really like it... Quote
king ubu Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 just bought one of those cheapo Capitol pop/easy/lounge/whatever twofers, containing her album "The Cool School", with Joe Castro heading a quartet and June doing silly songs - but it's all nice! The other album I didn't actually need (but that I found out at home only, of course...), it's "Do Re Mi", the vocal parts of which are on the "Songs for Night People" CD and the instrumental parts (Bob Cooper, of course, it's also him leading the backing band for the vocal sides) are on the Kenton Presents Mosaic box. I guess there'd be a few nice ones around in this twofer series, but mostly only the worst seem to end up in local sales, alas (no Julie London, no Peggy Lee, no June Christy etc - not necessarily in that order, btw ).

BruceH Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 Some of those 2-fers are pretty tempting. Quote
blind-blake Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 Just listening to "A Mile Down the Highway" with Shorty Rogers. Great tune. Is there an album of hers that has more such swingers (and fewer ballads)? Thanks Quote
Joe Posted June 22, 2014 Report Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) My favorite June performance. It helps that she's singing a melody by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Langston Hughes. Rugolo's arrangement represents no slouching either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nz7QFBgDYg Edited June 22, 2014 by Joe Quote
blind-blake Posted June 22, 2014 Report Posted June 22, 2014 guess you could give this a try: Thanks King Quote
