Dreamland [CASSETTE]

Search: Getting Some Fun Out Of Life
by: Madeleine Peyroux

Release Date October 01, 1996
I have all three of Madeleine Peyroux's albums now having recently purchased this beauty. All through the album, you can tell the quality and the feeling in her vocal performance. I find it difficult to believe now that it took 8 years before Madeleine Peyroux became a household name with her second album "Careless Love" and not this one. Never mind. This is still a wonderful album.

This album is a launching pad for Madeleine Peyroux to launch from. Her singing style is very similar to that of Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith, the jazz and blues divas of their time. It hits off with "Walking After Midnight" and finishes off with a blues-fuelled "Lovesick Blues". The tracks inbetween are also of distinction including "Dreamland", ... Read More:

Complete Recordings

Search: Getting Some Fun Out Of Life
by: Billie Holiday

Release Date August 11, 2006
Sound quality varies a little but on the whole these are good quality transfers - comparable with much of JSP though not quite as sharp and clear as John RT Davies's remastering of Holiday sides for the Jazz Greats magazine in the 90s where you can really hear the individual tone of each instrument on the best sides. But, crucially, there's still enough here for you to enjoy the interplay of musicians - and what a sensible and obvious focus for a compilation. If this remains unavailable from Amazon directly and is only gettable at an extortionate price on Marketplace you could do worse than Away From Base, a JSP 4 CD set of recordings by Basie sidemen including around forty five Billie Holiday or Teddy Wilson (with Holiday) recordings, though be warned ...
