Closer by Josh Groban (CD - 11/11/2003)
"Closer" (11/11/2003) Easy Listening Groban, Josh, Warner Bros. Records (Record Label)Personnel includes: Josh Groban (vocals); Leo Z. (piano, keyboards, programming, background vocals); Angie Passerella (acoustic & Classical guitars); Dean Parks, Ramon Stagnaro, Michael Thompson (guitar); Joshua Bell (violin); Devis Mariotti (flute, whistle, background vocals); Eric Rigler (Uillean pipes); David Foster (piano); Mark Hammond (keyboards, programming); David Fall (drums); Raphael Padila (percussion); Jochem Van Der Saag (programming); Richard Page, Andrea Sandri (background vocals); Deep Forest. Producers: David Foster, Walter Afanasieff, Leo Z., Mauro Malavasi, Eric Mouquet. Recorded at Chartmaker Studios, Malibu, California. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: Josh Groban (piano, background vocals); Dean Parks, Norbert Gallo, Michael Hart Thompson , Ramon Stagnaro (guitar); J'Anna Jacoby, Joshua Bell (violin); Eric Rigler (Uilleann pipe); David Foster (piano, keyboards); Mark Portmann, Walter Afanasieff (keyboards, programming); Eric Mouquet, Mark Hammond (keyboards); David Fall (drums); Rafael Padilla (percussion); Paul Schwartz (programming, drum programming); Courtney Blooding, Andrea Sandrei, Marco Marinangeli, Richard Page (background vocals). Audio Mixers: Humberto Gatica; Pierre Jacquot. Recording information: Blue Studios (09/26/2003); Chalice, CA (09/26/2003); Chartmaker Studios, Malibu, CA (09/26/2003); EMM Studio, France (09/26/2003); Leo Z's Studio (09/26/2003); Sony Studios, Culver City, CA (09/26/2003); Wallyworld, LA (09/26/2003). Photographer: Olaf Heine. Arrangers: Klaus Derendorf; Eric Mouquet; Jeremy Lubbock; Mark Hammond; Mark Portmann; Paul Schwartz ; William Ross; David Foster; Walter Afanasieff. Powerhouse vocalist Josh Groban may not be all things to all people, but he's certainly many things to many people. An international sensation, Groban is a Broadway-ready belter, romantic crooner, and classical/pop crossover phenomenon. Groban largely shies away from the more operatic side of his musical personality on CLOSER, leaning more towards a lush, cosmopolitan style that finds him singing in Italian, French, Spanish, and English with equal aplomb. While the album is speckled with adult-contemporary pop production touches courtesy of Groban's mentor David Foster, much of the record sports a cinematic, grandly orchestrated feel. And on the closing track "Never Let Go," his collaboration with ambient popsters Deep Forest, Groban even bucks for inclusion on a future volume of the PURE MOODS series, showing that he's always got another stylistic surprise up his sleeve.

Definitive Hits by Herb Alpert (CD - 03/27/2001)
"Definitive Hits" (03/27/2001) Easy Listening Alpert, Herb, Interscope Records (USA)Personnel includes: Herb Alpert (trumpet); Janet Jackson, Lisa Keith (vocals); Tijuana Brass. Producers include: Herb Alpert, Jerry Moss, Burt Bacharach, Jose Quintana, Randy Badazz. Compilation producers: Herb Alpert, Larry Levine, Mike Ragogna. Includes liner notes by Herb Alpert and Quincy Jones. Digitally remastered using 20-bit remastering technology by Doug Sax and Robert Hadley (The Mastering Lab, Los Angeles, California). Personnel: Herb Alpert (trumpet); Lisa Keith (vocals). Audio Remixers: Don Hahn; Bryan Stott. Liner Note Authors: Quincy Jones; Burt Bacharach. Arrangers: Herb Alpert; Juan Carlos Calder¢n. Before his run at the top of the easy-listening charts, Herb Alpert was already a music-industry veteran, writing and producing hits for Sam Cooke and Jan & Dean. Alpert also deserves a place in history as co-founder and owner of A&M Records, one of the most successful independent labels of all time. A solid 20-track compilation spanning Alpert's career, DEFINITIVE HITS covers the trumpeter/singer/label executive's glory years--the 1961-'68 stretch between "The Lonely Bull" and the Burt Bacharach-penned vocal showcase "This Guy's in Love with You." However, it also conveniently gathers material from the post-Tijuana Brass period when Alpert specialized in easy-listening fusion hits like the disco-tinged jazz-funk of 1979's "Rise" and the adult-contemporary R&B of 1987's "Diamonds," which features A&M Records' then-new star Janet Jackson on lead vocals. But, of course, the real meat of the collection is the brilliantly arranged suburban exotica of "Spanish Flea," "A Taste of Honey," and "Whipped Cream," along with other fine examples of Alpert's Latin-tinged pop.

Romantic Saxophone: Love Songs to Remember by Various Artists (CD - 03/05/2002)
"Romantic Saxophone: Love Songs to Remember" (03/05/2002) Easy Listening Various Artists, Columbia River Entertainment GroupThis installment of the Romantic Saxophone series features breathy, instrumental arrangements of some memorable pop moments. Standouts include a striking version of Phil Collins' "One More Night" that perfectly conveys the yearning and perceived loss inherent in the original, as well as an upbeat, percussive take on Huey Lewis' Back to the Future anthem "Power of Love." Like so many of these collections, the synthesized backing tracks threaten to overwhelm throughout. However, strong melody prevails in the end. ~ Johnny Loftus

"Beyond the Sea/The New Limelight [Digipak]" (07/20/2004) Easy Listening Chacksfield, Frank, Decca (USA)2 LPs on 1 CD: BEYOND THE SEA (1965)/THE NEW LIMELIGHT (1965). This Decca Phase 4 two-fer revives a pair of out of print LPs by English bandleader, pianist, and composer Frank Chacksfield, Beyond the Sea and The New Limelight, released in 1964 and 1965, respectively. Both albums contain romantic mood music with the first 11 tracks dominated by an ocean theme, including "How Deep Is the Ocean," "Sea Mist," "The Sea," "Moon River," and "Ebb Tide," while the remaining tracks focus on show tunes and standards like "Tonight," "Come Rain or Come Shine," "The Man That Got Away," and "Limelight." This is an enjoyable reissue from Frank Chacksfield's out of print catalog on Decca Records. ~ Al Campbell

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 12: Saxophobia by Various Artists (CD - 07/23/1996)
"Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 12: Saxophobia" (07/23/1996) Easy Listening Various Artists, Capitol/EMI RecordsRecorded between May 15, 1957 and 1966. Includes liner notes by RJ Smith. Digitally remastered by Bob Norberg at Capitol Recording Studios, Hollywood, California. This is part of Capitol Records' Ultra-Lounge series. The lounge sounds of the '50s and '60s on this compilation are very much of a piece with the other volumes of the Ultra-Lounge series. But as you'd expect from the title, the emphasis is on vintage lounge at its jazziest, with the saxophone to the fore. This isn't the kind of jazz you're going to read about in Down Beat, despite the presence of some bona fide jazzers, like Count Basie (doing the "Goldfinger" theme) and Bill Perkins; the influence of soundtrack music, pre-'50s pop standards, Latin rhythms, and bongo percussion is too strong. When you want some light lounge-jazz hybrids to unwind to after your jazz scholar friends have gone home, though, this isn't bad. Les Baxter, Nelson Riddle, and Gordon Jenkins make their expected appearances on this compilation; more surprising is the inclusion of top R&B saxophonist King Curtis, who does a pop-friendly version of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man," and teams up with ace rock session drummer Earl Palmer on "One Mint Julep." Also worth noting are Vegas-jump blues kings Louis Prima and Sam Butera, who do a smoky version of "Harlem Nocturne." ~ Richie Unterberger

The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas: 2 CD Collection [2001] by Various Artists (CD - 09/11/2001)
"The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas: 2 CD Collection [2001]" (09/11/2001) Easy Listening Various Artists, Time/Life MusicIf you want that old-fashioned holiday feeling of spending Christmas in your grandparents' house while they pull out some of their favorite Yuletide LPs and play them on a well-worn phonograph (that's for records, kids), THE TIME-LIFE TREASURY OF CHRISTMAS is here to help. This two-disc collection is based around well known Christmas recordings by some of the biggest crooners of the pre-rock era. The original smoothie Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" is as unassailable as it is ubiquitous. Ella Fitzgerald sounds just as transcendent singing "Jingle Bells" as she did on any other tune she ever tackled. Even when Elvis Presley pops up, rock & roll is eschewed in favor of the lovelorn Christmas anthem "Blue Christmas."

Ancora by Il Divo (CD - 01/24/2006)
"Ancora" (01/24/2006) Easy Listening Il Divo, Syco/ColumbiaPersonnel: Mats Berntoft, Frizzy Karlsson (guitar); Henrik Janson (acoustic guitar); Esbj?rn ?hrwall (electric guitar); Jan Bengtsson (flute); Steve Mac (piano, keyboards); Dave Arch (piano); Per Magnusson (keyboards, programming); Chris Laws (drums); Gustave Lund (percussion); David Krueger (programming). Audio Mixers: Ren Swan; Fredrik Andersson . Recording information: A Side Studios, Stockholm, Sweden; EMI Abbey Road Studios, London, England; Rokstone Studios, London, England; Sphere Studios, London, England; Studio Piccolo, Montreal, Canada; Sveriges Radio Studio 2, Stockholm, Sweden; Whitfield Street Studios, London, England. Photographer: Walter Chin. Arrangers: David Krueger; Uli Janson; Henrik Janson; Per Magnusson. Knowing how to strike while the iron is hot, the international all-male pop-opera revue Il Divo, assembled by AMERICAN IDOL's Simon Cowell, followed up its 2005 debut (and subsequent Christmas album) with yet another outing in early 2006. Here the dashing vocal quartet--Urs Buhler (Switzerland), Sebastien Izambard (France), Carlos Marin (Spain), and David Miller (U.S.)--stays true to its multi-lingual repertoire, offering up a suitably dramatic Spanish version of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself" ("Solo Otra Vez") and an English/French rendition of "I Believe in You" (with Celine Dion), among other numbers. While the arrangements on ANCORA are lush and majestic, they never overshadow the full, passionate voices of the foursome, who have clearly become used to working together as a powerful group.

Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Foxtrots & Waltzes by Various Artists (CD - 11/11/1997)
"Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Foxtrots & Waltzes" (11/11/1997) Easy Listening Various Artists, Rhino Records (USA)Full title: Let's Dance! The Best Of Ballroom: Fox Trots And Waltzes. Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Foxtrots & Waltzes was designed to cash in on the swing and lounge revival of the '90s by offering a selection of foxtrots and waltzes, along with a choreography and beats-per-minute-guide, designed for hip young swingers. Despite a few selections that are a little too slick or schmaltzy, the music on the collection is generally first-rate, offering eight foxtrots and seven waltzes. The featured artists -- including Andy Williams, Harry James, the Manhattan Transfer, Mel Torm?, Percy Faith, 101 Strings, Melissa Manchester, Engelbert Humperdinck and Henry Mancini -- are uniformly strong, but what really matters is the rhythm, sway and the music, and on that level, Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Foxtrots & Waltzes fulfills its purpose quite well. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

"Christmas with Conniff" (09/01/2001) Easy Listening Conniff, Ray, Columbia (USA)Christmas with Conniff is Ray Conniff's first holiday record, and it remains one of his very best efforts in that genre. His light, pretty, signature touch is perfectly suited to Christmas music, and he and his singers make such carols and holiday songs as "Frosty the Snowman," "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," and "Silver Bells" irresistible easy listening. Perfect background music for any holiday event. ~ Rodney Batdorf
