5 out of 5 stars Best of the best.......2007-04-21

I will use this seller again if possible, really fast delivery to Finland

5 out of 5 stars The Wonderful Miss London.......2007-02-20

The Very Best of Julie London is a fantastic overview of her career, great song selection and the remastering is GREAT! Julie's sexy, sultry, cool voice is out front, Julie had great arrangements and musicians backing her and you'll definitely hear this on these two cd's! Julie is one my favorite singers and if you're discovering her for the first time, start with this and then invest in getting other cd's by her, Julie was one of the best 'torch singers'.

5 out of 5 stars Julie London - "The Very Best of Julie London".......2007-01-09

All of Julie's greatest hits selected from her many albums.

I have wanted her songs for years. Now I won't have to cry me a river.

4 out of 5 stars Surprising who the next big FAN is..........2007-01-04

I got this collection for myself because I love Julie London's voice delivering all these sentimental tunes. (Okay, not "Light My Fire" because I can only imagine Jim Morrison on that one now.) I play it in the car all the time and sing along with abandon. To my surprise, my eight-year-old daughter LOVES this CD, especially "Fly Me to the Moon" and "Let There Be Love." Get it and see what YOUR kids think!

I enjoyed reading the liner notes included with this CD and learning about Julie's colorful career, but I do wish that they had included song lyrics, too.

5 out of 5 stars Superb Late Night Music..........2006-12-22

There's something about Julie London's voice... sultry, sexy, super-cool... that perfectly captures the feel of the night. And, if you only know of her through "Cry Me a River" - as most people do - then you're in for a real treat because between the mid 50's and the late 60's she produced a huge amount of similarly beautiful music.

Featuring 50 tracks, most of which are "standards", virtually all of which are near-perfect examples of how to inject pure "atmosphere" into a song, and an incredibly large number of which are better than their more famous originals, this superb compilation will leave you wondering why she wasn't ranked up there with the great artists of her time... and, more interestingly, given the huge popularity of recent "jazz-cool" artists such as Norah Jones, why she's still so undiscovered.

Best of all this selection is a quite superb, flawlessly sung & played "late night" album - put it on and slip into over two hours of gloriously laid back music... you won't find much better.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A romantic compilation of cool jazz and a little more.......2003-10-20

Most of the tracks on this romantic jazz compilation belong to the period that came to be known as cool jazz, with Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan among its biggest names. These are some of the names behind the songs presented here. They are exquisitely complemented by works coming from Miles Davis, Monk (though certainly not my favorite by him), a beautiful rendition of the title track by contemporary trumpet genius Wynton Marsalis and Errol Garner's "Misty" topping the compilation to make it just perfect for a romantic rainy evening to share with your loved one with some nice wine and whatever you want to go with it.

5 out of 5 stars You will NEVER regret buying this cd!.......2000-06-22

I bought this cd a few years ago on a whim. Since then this cd has rarely been out of my cd player! The songs included offer enough variety to satisfy any music lover - whether this is your first jazz cd or another one to add to your collection. The sound quality is amazing - it's almost as if you're right there at a live performance. My personal favorites on this cd are the second and third track. The second track ("Misty") is achingly romantic, and the third showcases Monk's talents. You will never regret buying this cd!

3 out of 5 stars We Hiss You a Merry Christmas.......2005-12-14

Get songs, would be 5 stars if not for the distracting hiss on some of the tracks.

5 out of 5 stars I'm The First??.......2002-12-19

I bought this cd last year and I love it!! This cd is a collection of classic performances by Verve's elite. The opening track is not Frank DeVol, who did indeed produce the track, it's Ella Fitzgerald. Another error found on this site is the artist listing for "The Christmas Song". It's Mel Torme's performance here. A couple of tracks reappear here, they were featured on Verve's release of "Have Yourself A Jazzy Little Christmas" probably repeated here because of artist merit and performance. One such noteable track is Oscar Peterson's moving rendition of "A Child Is Born."
Verve released a contemporary jazz Christmas album a few years ago and it featured such artists as Betty Carter and Shirley Horn. Shirley's performance of "Winter Wonderland" was lifted from that project and is here. The song is treated like any other Shirley would do, and the result is, well, seductive in an innocent way, the Shirley way. "'Zat You, Santa Claus" by Louis Armstrong has been featured on many budget Christmas releases, but the version here is so well restored it sounds like it was just recorded; the mastering of this disc as a whole is breathtaking. Jimmy Smith's "Jingle Bells" is pure camp, the song arranged as a Hammond b3 piece, "Silent Night" is made even more sacred by Dinah Washington's searing vocal.
This album is an excellent highlight of holiday performances by the living legends and those who have passed, of jazz and should not be overlooked by fans of the jazz genre and Christmas music.

Album Description

Singer Jacqui Naylor, whose sophisticated vocal style is often compared to the jazz legends of the _30s and _40s, releases her debut album on the Ruby Records label. Naylor_s recording includes interpretations of jazz standards and forgotten classics as well as original music written for the artist. The artist_s olde-style, yet unique sound floats over the CD_s well-orchestrated arrangements and reminisces the bygone days of truly great jazz singers with hints of Billie Holiday, June Christy and Nina Simone. While influenced by the singers and horn players of an earlier era, Naylor_s experience as a featured soloist with San Francisco's Sacred Heart Gospel Choir adds depth and spirit of gospel to her timeless renditions. L.A. Jazz Scene calls Naylor's voice "precise, languorous and very sexy." Subtle vocal interpretations, relaxed tempos and economical instrumentation characterize Naylor's treatment of compositions by Gershwin, Kern, Carmichael and others, creating an album described by critics and fans as "soulful" and "intimate."

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Tell Me More and Then Some.......2005-05-08

The song "Tell Me More and Then Some" on this album is so terrific I have it on repeat play--others ask me for mercy, but hey, this is is as good as music gets. The vocalist and band are in perfect synchrony for some of the most fascinating tempo/lyrical interplay you will EVER hear. You will LOVE this one. Jacqui "sings low" and she can really deliver.

3 out of 5 stars Perfectly pleasant and presentable.......2003-08-06

This one didn't rock my world, but there is some good stuff on it. It's a decent effort, and if you like Jacqui you'll like this one.

Honestly can't say too much more about it.

5 out of 5 stars An irresistible voice to fall in love with.......2003-05-22

I have had this CD for more than a year now, and by now I've heard it easily more than a hundred times. Jacqui has a wonderfully puzzling voice. It is cristaline and beautiful, and also somewhat hard to figure out, as if having different modes. This I really mean in a positive way. As it is well known, she sometimes sounds like Billy Holiday (e.g. in parts of Lazybones, The way you look tonight, a bit in Two sleepy people), but sometimes she has an absolutely unique sound (e.g. Nocturne, May I come in, I cover the waterfront, In the wee small hours), and *then* in particular I experience an endless fascination when listening to her. Her voice sounds almost understanding, it's a voice to fall in love with, a voice that caresses you generously, that cries softly but deeply about longing and loneliness, that can be playful, and also wise, a voice that almost listens to you and comforts you while sharing with you its own heart out so beautifully, puzzling and also oh so irresistible... If I had to pick favorites songs on this CD, they would probably be May I come in, In the wee small hours, I cover the waterfront, Nocturne, and Something cool, but all songs in this CD make it a pleasurable journey to listen to, from start to end. This actually has become one of my favorite female vocal CD's, and needless to say, Jacqui is one of my favorite female singers, the others being Rebecca Pidgeon, and Diana Krall (well and Arleen Auger). I highly highly recommend this CD, in particular for anyone that is very fond of female vocals.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2002-07-31

The sound of Jacqui Naylor is simply amazing. Dazzling, seductive, alluring...she just draws you in to her musical world and doesn't let go. I'm a big fan of female jazz vocalists and have heard Stacey Kent, Jane Maneheit, and Tierney Sutton live as well as on CD, but would put Jacqui Naylor in a class of her own. She's something very special and I only hope I have the chance to see her in person in the near future. Jacqui, please come to Minnesota and play the Dakota!

5 out of 5 stars Oh Jacqui!.......2002-06-30

In life, we are brought together in a thousand ways. We meet on the street, in a bar, at a museum, at work. For those of you who have not yet had the good fortune of meeting Jacqui, let this album serve as your introduction - to be followed by "live at the plush room".

Jacqui brings talent, humour and grace to her work and through her music, reminds me of what really matters - love.

I wish you a warm, life-long friendship with this wonderful woman.

Product Description

Nijole (nee-YOH-luh) writes sensual melodic songs with mystical landscapes, exotic twists, and lyrics to uplift and inspire. Accompanying her delicate lead vocals, she performs layers of Lithuanian background vocals, hinting of the choirs she grew up with in Chicago. The production of Fritz Heede features gifted players on ethnic percussion, stringed instruments, flutes, violins, as well as classical cello, electric guitars and synthesizers. Overall, “Parallel Universe” is a powerful journey for the heart and soul.

I just love this CD....I'm in a sad place now and it smoothed me and made me feel better.I'm telling all my friends about this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Touched Me On All Levels.......2005-12-11

What I love about this CD is that it is great on all levels. The music and production are fabulous, with exotic instrumentation. The vocals are beautiful, they have great tone and depth and the words are meaningful. The notes and melodies are interesting to listen to. Overall the whole CD is passionate and uplifting.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulously Woven Styles.......2005-12-04

What a beautiful, dreamy, exotic, album!
I think I've been waiting a long time to hear this music!
I knew I was going to like it from the first amazing guitar riff
- a cross between Chris Isaac and something Middle Eastern like what Jimmy Page would come up with, set against a backdrop of poignant silence. And then you hear Nijole's voice almost whispering -- You rarely hear a voice so soothing and sensuous, but so expressive - her voice is audibly painting a picture with its subtle shades of emotional expression -- and then the music suddenly sweeps up and out into a lavish chorus of siren
song! And then she transports you to some ancient ancestral place when she suddenly goes Lithuanian on ya...! Good stuff... sent shivers down my back. And the girl's got a range, too - check out the unbelievably high notes in "Rise" - I couldn't tell if it was the flute until I heard it playing alongside her vocal,
except much LOWER!

So I thought, of course the first song is good, the second song is good... but I'm sure all the weak songs are going to be towards the end. Not so!! Every song is wonderful.
Each song is different from each the other - one more pop, one more ethnic, one almost jazzy and the last one is almost classical, though this one is the most unique to me - truly Nijole found a completely unique voice in "Evening Prayer".
But somehow no matter how different each song is from the other, the whole album is held together with Nijole's own unique style. She is continuing the Peter Gabriel tradition -- writing pop songs with a different vocabulary, borrowing from exotic influences but still unmistakably pop (or "art pop", as some like to call it). Great melodies that stick with you -- I'm constantly singing a different song in my head. And the words are speaking to our emotional experiences, as well as offering a positive philosophy. She has a unique insight into our psychology...perhaps into her own soul?

And certainly Nijole has found an equally worthy partner in Fritz Heede who did the production -- very lush, very exotic, walking the fine line between ethereal, airy and otherworldly on the one hand, until he brings you crashing down to earth with some wild guitar riff or pulsing ethnic percussion, carving out a style all his own. Each song is like a dramatic piece with a perfectly meshed musical score underlying the meaning - each like a little movie... The musicians on the album are all
very top-notch - always fresh, always creative, nothing clichéd in any of the musical prases or arrangements, which is certainly welcome in today's musical
environment! All in all, I can't help loving this album,
I really look forward to my drive now, knowing that it's going to be really special

5 out of 5 stars Nijole sparkles!.......2005-11-19

Sparkis' cd is a rare combination of original material using contemporary musical references as well as folk sources. Sparkis combines her diverse influences and sources seamlessly. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars A Parallel Frequency of Sound.......2005-11-17

... At your reach...
Nijole's voice and Lyrics defy category, they send us on a musical ride yet unparalleled! It's a virtual cave where the ethnic meets the electric, where time-space line fades... where all is yet forming before it materializes in the Universe on a Time and Space line. Find out for yourself.

Originally from Jackson, Mississippi, Mike has drawn from his roots of jazz and blues, and on this solo recording, he includes a couple of classic piano boogie songs. This recording could be described as very cool and bluesy, yet elegant and classy - very accessible for all ages.

    piano work. Its now considered "must have" music at all
    encampments when the fire is going, the candles are burning,
    and the great food is on the grille. Ahhh!

    Better than the original album. Julie was the ultimate "Torch Singer" and these songs prove it! Excellent!
