Would have given this 5 stars, but couldn't figure out why Marilyn Monroe and Peggy Lees's voices (probably 2 of the softest sexiest voices on record) sounded so squawky. Then I realised they'd been speeded up by more than 25%, resulting in their keys being raised by 2 semitones, and completely ruining their recordings. Luckily I already had their recordings, so, after comparing them, I was able to delete the ones on here, .

Is this how so many tracks are jammed on to albums, by speeding them up to shorten them by 30 seconds or so? Shame they had to spoil an otherwise great album .

I enjoyed this album so much I decided to buy it!

a large glass of wine and kick back and let all the troubles melt away with this album

If you see that is why don’t you do right it’s actually by Peggy Lee and the jolly goodman

A collection of stunning talent, some of the best voices of the 20th Century, but I’m not sure that the Jazz in the title is strictly adhered to. Nevertheless, where else could you find the sheer gold of Sinatra, Martin, Brubeck, Armstrong et al, all for under a fiver?

As previously mentioned not really a Jazz album BUY what a collection of "show jazz or swing" classics. Loved that "You must remember this track" had the film dialog intro - so rare to hear.

Really great value for wonderful munis.

The title is misleading in the sense that the music in question has nothing to do with Jazz.

This is instead the most complete selection of the most famous interpretations of some of the most famous songs of the 1950-60s - and arguably the best.

They are all here: Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, etc. with large orchestras, strings, pianos, etc.

But I would personally call this "easy listening" rather than "jazz".

Anyway, if you must have only one, essential record of such music, this is it. No doubt about it.

The best , full stop, no need to say anymore 🤐 don't bother replying to this.
