Label: Rhino | Tracks: 42 | Rls.date: 2014

Rhino's Rock Ballads: The Collection mostly lives up to its promise of cigarette lighter-melting stadium jams, and is probably the only box set where you can find Radiohead, Bread, Kate Bush, and Nickelback in the same green room. Densely populated with as many head scratchers (Fine Young Cannibals' significantly upbeat "She Drives Me Crazy" and Skid Row's teen-rage brooder "18 and Life") as well as genuine arm-waving anthems (Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" and the lush, Benjamin Orr-led Cars classic "Drive")

Of course Boney M were masters of dance in the late 1970's and early 1980's, but they did have some hits with ballads too. This collection includes the hits El Lute, Neil Young's Heart of Gold, Little Drummer Boy, Mary's Boy Child, I See A Boat On The River and of course their massive hit Rivers of Babylon (Originally done by The Melodians). But it's not really representative of their best music which included red-hot rabble rousing dancefloor sizzlers like Brown Girl In The Ring, Daddy Cool, Belfast and Ma Baker. Still, this collection is pleasant enough as an enjoyable memento of 70's/80's Europop in the Abba vein.

You can’t get any more popular in American entertainment than Keely Smith was in the early ‘60s. Having blown the doors out in Las Vegas, winning a Grammy, having hit after hit and lighting up television screens playing straight “man” to husband Louis Prima, she’d navigated the tricky waters of a professional and personal divorce, striking out on her own and starting her own record label, Keely Records, in partnership with close friend and mentor Frank Sinatra, under the auspices of his Reprise label. A groundbreaking businesswoman, as well as recording artist, Keely recorded 5 classic albums for Reprise. Because she’d seen enough show business shenanigans to last a lifetime, a generation before it became standard practice to do so, she retained the rights to her masters.

Jazz | Label: Panorama Records, Official Digital Download

There's lots to like here: the stately feel of the ballads that US sax veteran Steve Slagle (Carla Bley, Joe Lovano, Mingus Big Band) chooses to include; then there's some great solo featured spots by Randy Brecker and wrapping all of this up so tidily an expert rhythm section with Bruce Barth on piano, Ugonna Okegwo on bass and Jason Tiemann on drums. Brecker on 'Reflections' brings a real humanity to his solo and the whole interpretation has a fantastic warmth to it.
