Sings Sail Away and Other Coward Rarities by No?l Coward (CD - 07/17/2001)
"Sings Sail Away and Other Coward Rarities" (07/17/2001) Pop Vocal Coward, Noel, Harbinger RecordsContains recordings of Noel Coward singing his score for SAIL AWAY (recorded in 1961), including songs that were cut prior to the Broadway opening, as well as excerpts from the demo for the unproduced LATER THAN SPRING and rare recordings made in Calcutta, India in 1944. Compilation producers: Ken Bloom, Bill Rudman. Includes liner notes by Barry Day, Ken Bloom and Bill Rudman. Digitally remastered by Adrian Cosentini. After his Broadway musical Sail Away opened on October 3, 1961, No?l Coward recorded an album of himself singing its songs before an orchestra conducted by Peter Matz, and it was released by Capitol Records under the title No?l Coward Sings His New Broadway Hit Sail Away. This is not a reissue of that album. Rather, the bulk of this album (tracks 9-24) consists of demo recordings of Coward singing (and possibly playing on the piano) the score of Sail Away on April 21, 1961, while the show was still in the planning stages. Tracks 4-8 are Coward demos of songs from an even earlier version of the work, so early (possibly 1959) that it's barely recognizable as the genesis of the piece, in fact; it was then called Later Than Spring. And the album leads off with three tracks completely unrelated to the Sail Away material, recorded by Coward in Calcutta, India, in 1944 while he was on a tour of military bases entertaining troops during World War II. (The album concludes with additional performances of two Sail Away numbers recorded by Coward and the show's choreographer, Joe Layton, as duets.) None of these recordings has been released commercially before. Musicals can go through extensive changes from conception to production, and the differences between these recordings and the Capitol album reflect more than the absence of an orchestra and the presence of pops and clicks on a tape intended only for private use. The Later Than Spring tracks support an entirely different plot from which only the character of a middle-aged woman and an ocean voyage remained in Sail Away. Originally, Sail Away was intended to be more of a love story than it later became, and Coward included a number of ballads -- "I Am No Good at Love," "This Is a Night for Lovers," and "This Is a Changing World" (the last two recycled from his 1946 London-only musical Pacific 1860) -- that were dropped from the score when he removed the romantic lead from the show and merged her part with the comic second lead played by Elaine Stritch while the show was in its pre-Broadway tryouts. Those songs are still on the demo tape, which, conversely, does not include a few numbers Coward added later, "Go Slow, Johnny," "You're a Long, Long Way from America," and "Don't Turn Away from Love." Nevertheless, the major songs remain, and they are often typically witty Coward observations on globe-trotting, such as "Useful Phrases" (full of miscellaneous guidebook remarks for the tourist) and "Why Do the Wrong People Travel?" Stritch handled those songs well on-stage (and on the Original Broadway and Original London Cast albums), but no one is better than the songwriter himself, rolling his R's and sneering in his superior British manner. This album is a minor addition to the Coward catalog, but a welcome one. ~ William Ruhlmann

The Best of Broadway [Angel] by Various Artists (CD - 01/08/2002)
"The Best of Broadway [Angel]" (01/08/2002) Pop Vocal Various Artists, Angel RecordsIncludes liner notes by Gilbert Hetherwick and David Foil. Liner Note Author: David Foil. The Best of Broadway is exactly that, a collection of some of the biggest songs from Broadway, taken from original cast recordings and revivals. Where many of these Broadway collections fail to get the actual stage cast to perform the music, this gathers some of the best-known cast members from the productions. Highlights include Tom Wopat and Bernadette Peters dueting on "Anything You Can Do" from Annie Get Your Gun, Nathan Lane performing "Comedy Tonight" with the cast of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Carol Lawrence and Larry Kert's rendition of "Tonight" (from West Side Story), and Robert Preston's incredible numbers from The Music Man. Every song here is a triumph and the musicals chosen should be quite familiar to most listeners. Although true fans of these musicals probably have the full cast recording already, this is a wonderful sampler for someone who needs some quality show tunes in their collection. ~ Bradley Torreano

Point of No Return [Remaster] by Frank Sinatra (CD - 01/08/2002)
"Point of No Return [Remaster]" (01/08/2002) Pop Vocal Sinatra, Frank, Capitol/EMI RecordsPersonnel includes: Frank Sinatra (vocals); Axel Stordahl (arranger, conductor). Recorded between 1953 and 1961. Includes liner notes by Pete Welding. All tracks have been digitally remastered. This is part of Capitol Records "Entertainer Of The Century" series. This was Sinatra's last recording for Capitol: all songs were recorded in September 1961, except the bonus tracks, which were recorded in 1953. In 1961 he left Capitol to start his own record label, Reprise Records. The aptly titled POINT OF NO RETURN is a portrait of a man at odds with himself and his world, both literally (the moody cover painting) and sonically. It may have been any one of the pressures on Sinatra (the onset of middle age, his insoluble difficulties with Capitol Records) or a combination of all of them that drove him to record this album full of self-doubt, regret and bittersweet nostalgia for the days of his youth. Thematically, this record anticipates the 1965 Gordon Jenkins-arranged SEPTEMBER OF MY YEARS. Though Sinatra's Tommy Dorsey Band buddy Axel Stordahl's arrangement style is much more conservative than that of Jenkins, the wistful, world-weary performances of "September Song," "It's a Blue World" and others present Sinatra as a man still determined to be the voice of a generation, one that was following him into the personal upheavals of mid-life.

No Frills by Bette Midler (CD - 08/29/1995)
"No Frills" (08/29/1995) Pop Vocal Midler, Bette, Atlantic (USA)Personnel includes: Bette Midler (vocals); Waddy Wachtel (electric guitar); Mark Goldenberg (guitar, synthesizer); Buzzy Feiten (guitar); Bobby Lyle (piano); Pops Popswell (bass); Ricky Lawson (drums); Bobby Hall (congas); Katie Sagal (background vocals). All tracks have been digitally remastered. Bette Midler is a gifted entertainer, whether acting or singing. On this 1983 album, No Frills, she showcases numbers that take flavorings from pop, disco, and rock & roll. Midler has a way of making any song she sings her own, but some of the tracks on this recording might stir memories of other artists. Aaron Neville and Linda Rondstat did an admired version of "All I Need to Know." "Beast of Burden" became a hit for the Rolling Stones. Other songs on No Frills that deserve a mention include "My Eye on You," "Favorite Waste of Time," and "Only in Miami." The latter is a Latin-type number she did before the style became popular in the American market. Though this album isn't one of her very best, it's still a great recording to add to any music collection that belongs to a Bette Midler fan. ~ Charlotte Dillon

Together with Music by Original Soundtrack/No?l Coward (CD - 10/25/1990)
"Together with Music" (10/25/1990) Pop Vocal Original Soundtrack, DRG (USA)2 LPs On 1 CD: TOGETHER WITH MUSIC/90 MINUTES IS A LONG, LONG TIME. Personnel includes: Mary Martin, Noel Coward (vocals); Peter Matz (piano); Tutti Camarata (conductor). Recorded on October 22, 1955. Includes liner notes by Stanley Green. Mary Martin and No?l Coward were still-prominent veteran entertainers when they joined together in October 1955 to appear on the live, 90-minute television special that is aurally reproduced here. The 41-year-old Martin was fresh from her Broadway and TV triumph in Peter Pan, only the latest in a series of stage musicals with which she filled her career. The 55-year-old Coward, whose work as a playwright was in decline, had recently begun a new phase of his career as a nightclub performer in Las Vegas. The two had been working together since the problematic Coward-written, Martin-starring musical Pacific 1860 in 1946. On TV, they largely worked separately, after opening with the show's specially written title song. Coward shows audiences what was wowing them in Las Vegas: his rapid-fire recitatives of his own comic songs like "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" and a medley of some of his more sentimental material. Martin shines on a medley of songs from her stage triumph, South Pacific, and a reprise of Cole Porter's "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," her Broadway debut. Together at the end, they do a lengthy and somewhat chaotic medley of old favorites. While the visual element is lost on record and the sound quality is TV-tinny, the exuberance of the show comes across. Unfortunately, the original two-LP set, which contained the entire show, was condensed to 56 minutes for CD reissue. ~ William Ruhlmann

Noel Coward at Las Vegas by No?l Coward (CD - 03/11/2003)
"Noel Coward at Las Vegas" (03/11/2003) Pop Vocal Coward, Noel, DRG (USA)Personnel includes: Noel Coward; Peter Matz (arranger, piano); Carlton Hayes & His Orchestra. Recorded live at the Desert Inn, Las Vegas, Nevada on June 27, 1955. Originally released on Columbia (5063). Includes liner notes by Goddard Lieberson. Personnel: No?l Coward (vocals); Carlton Hayes & His Orchestra (various instruments); Peter Matz (piano). During the summer of 1955, Noel Coward, that doyen of English style, made a splash in Las Vegas, that flashiest of resort towns. Coward's one-month engagement at Wilbur Clark's Desert Inn sparked a mass exodus from Hollywood to his standing-room-only performances, by celebrities ranging from Humphrey Bogart to Frank Sinatra. Columbia head Goddard Lieberson soon headed to Nevada as well (with recording equipment in tow), and Coward, while fighting a touch of flu in the 116-degree heat, delivered one of his finest performances in front of the microphones. What amazes about Coward's show is his ability to convey with no detectable effort all of the nimble diction and convivial grace necessary to perform these intricate songs in a live setting -- not a syllable out of place, not a line delivered but with ease and precision. And contrary to assumption, Coward did in fact share much with his audience; he leaves his audience absolutely cackling in glee at the English stuffed shirts who populate his comic pieces "Uncle Harry," "A Bar on the Piccola Marina" (written quite recently), and, of course, his classic "Mad Dogs and Englishmen." A vocal masterpiece, Noel Coward at Las Vegas is without doubt the master's finest appearance on record. ~ John Bush

Noel Coward in New York by No?l Coward (CD - 03/11/2003)
"Noel Coward in New York" (03/11/2003) Pop Vocal Coward, Noel, DRG (USA)Personnel includes: Noel Coward (vocals); Peter Matz (arranger, conductor, piano). Recorded in New York, New York in October and November 1956. Originally released on Columbia (5163). Includes liner notes by Will Friedwald. A follow-up to AT LAS VEGAS, Noel Coward's well-received 1955 concert album, IN NEW YORK finds the British showman setting up shop in a Manhattan recording studio. The result is a charming orchestral-pop record that plays up the uber-Englishman's temporary fish-out-of-water status, as best revealed on "I Like America," which features Coward humorously crooning about well-known U.S. locations and their respective stereotypes. ("In Dallas, Tex, they talk of sex, but only think of oil.") For listeners seeking a top-notch latter-day sampling of supreme Coward-ness (see, in particular, the high-society send-up "I Went to a Marvelous Party"), IN NEW YORK easily fits the bill.

No?l and Gertie [London Cast] by Original London Cast (CD - 04/22/1997)
"No?l and Gertie [London Cast]" (04/22/1997) Pop Vocal Original Cast, Jay RecordsRecording information: EMI Abbey Road Studios, London, England (09/28/1986). In April 1981, No?l Coward biographer Sheridan Morley "devised" an "entertainment" called No?l and Gertie as a benefit for the Combined Theatrical Charities Council, and it was performed at the May Fair Theatre in London, England. It was a musical revue constructed out of songs and excerpts from the writings of Coward, some of which, in their initial presentation, had been performed by him with actress/singer Gertrude Lawrence. A commercial production of the revue ran for a month in London in 1983, and the third mounting, at the Donmar Warehouse (in the London equivalent of off-Broadway), for another month in 1986 with Lewis Fiander as No?l and Patricia Hodge as Gertie. That production was recorded for this cast album. It is a small undertaking, just Fiander and Hodge and a piano, and consists mostly of Coward's songs, although there are portions of his London Times obituary of Lawrence, and the tenth track, the cockney music hall romp "Has Anybody Seen Our Ship?," includes some of the dialogue for the Red Peppers playlet in which the song appeared, as part of the play cycle Tonight at 8:30, in which Coward and Lawrence co-starred in 1936. (There is also a bit of Shadow Play, another playlet in the cycle.) Fiander and Hodge are actually better singers, technically, than Coward and Lawrence were, and they bring enthusiasm to such Coward favorites as "Mrs. Worthington" and "Parisian Pierrot." ~ William Ruhlmann

Noel Coward & Gertrude Lawrence by No?l Coward (CD)
"Noel Coward & Gertrude Lawrence" (n/a) Pop Vocal Coward, Noel, PearlThe early part of the 20th century saw No?l Coward as the king of British musical theater/cabaret, with his cardboard arrangements and campy faux romantic lyrics charming many a crowd that needed a lighthearted laugh and pure entertainment. Coward wrote a slew of popular tunes that endured through the golden age of jazz and beyond. These 17 selections, 15 penned by Coward with half featuring his bravura spoken word/singing, are prime reminders of his command of a song. The Ray Noble Orchestra back Coward on some classics like "Mad Dogs and Englishmen," "Lover of My Dreams," and "Mad About the Boy." Gertrude Lawrence is center stage for eight tracks, the most notable being "Mad About the Boy" and one of two written by George and Ira Gershwin, "Someone to Watch Over Me." The digital transfer still retains a scratchy quality throughout, so audiophiles might wince a bit, but this is a good set for Coward fans, or a decent place to start for newbies and students. ~ Michael G.

Producer: Teddy Reig. Reissue producer: Michael Cuscuna. Recorded live at the Cloud Nine Lounge of the New Frontier Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada on August 30, 1960. Includes liner notes by Will Friedwald. Personnel: Billy Eckstine (vocals, trumpet); Buddy Balboa, Charlie McLean (saxophone); Charlie Walp (trumpet); Bucky Manieri (trombone); Bobby Tucker (piano); Buddy Grievey (drums). Liner Note Author: Will Friedwald. Recording information: Cloud Nine Lounge of the New Frontier Hotel, Las Vegas,. Director: Bobby Tucker. Arranger: Bobby Tucker. This CD has an unusual cover picture showing Billy Eckstine singing while holding a trumpet. He does indeed take a few short trumpet solos on the well-rounded program, 24 songs (13 previously unissued) performed during one night in Las Vegas. Eckstine, who is backed by an orchestra arranged by his pianist Bobby Tucker, is heard in prime form on a variety of standards. His baritone voice (which was quite influential) straddles the boundary between middle-of-the-road pop and jazz on such numbers as "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," "Without a Song," "Prisoner of Love," "I Apologize", "Alright, Okay, You Win" and "'Deed I Do." A good example of his talents. ~ Scott Yanow
