Dr. jo

Jo Stafford was one of the Greatest and most popular Female Vocalists of the Pre-Rock and Roll era and beyond. Perfect diction, immaculate phrasing, and a tone as clear as a bell were Jo’s calling cards during a five-decade career. "It Had to Be You: Lost Radio Recordings" presents a treasure trove of 24 1950-1951 performances from The Carnation Contented Hour. Completely unreleased recordings featuring Jo interpreting songs, like “Ain’t Misbehavin’”, “Dream a Little Dream of Me”, and “I’ve Got the World on a String”, that were big hits for other artists. These tracks come from tape sources, not transcription discs, and therefore are Studio Quality.

Jo Elizabeth Stafford (November 12, 1917 – July 16, 2008) was an American traditional pop music singer, whose career spanned five decades from the late 1930s to the early 1980s. Admired for the purity of her voice, she originally underwent classical training to become an opera singer before following a career in popular music, and by 1955 had achieved more worldwide record sales than any other female artist. Her 1952 song "You Belong to Me" topped the charts in the United States and United Kingdom, becoming the second single to top the UK Singles Chart, and the first by a female artist to do so.

In one of the most striking debuts of recent years, Jo David Meyer Lysne’s ‘Henger i Luften’ (literally, ‘Hang in the Air’), magically combines the conversational fluency of contemporary chamber music with the extended sound-making techniques and alertness to the moment associated with experimental improvisation.

28 recordings, including early singles with orchestral backing by: Dave Barbour; Jerry Gray; Dick Stabile and Ray Anthony, with whom she had the hits 'Wild Horses' and 'The Hokey Pokey', as well as 11 great tracks with Les Brown's Band of Renown featuring superb renditions of 'The Man That Got Away', 'He Needs Me' (from Pete Kelly's Blues), 'Liberace's 'Sincerely Yours', Irving Berlin's 'Sittin' in the Sun' and the Arlen-Mercer song 'Hit the Road to Dreamland'.

Norway meets Iceland in wildly inventive ambient-gothic improvisations recorded in an abandoned Reykjavik warehouse Jo Berger Myhre and Ólafur Björn Ólafsson have created a strikingly original sound-world that, while it may have its antecedents, doesn’t really remind you of anyone else.
