Ella Roberts

Un vol de voiture ayant mal tourné a réveillé la soif d’un couple sanguinaire : Ella-Loo et son amant Darryl. Depuis l’Arkansas, vingt-neuf cadavres jalonnent leur route, et leur prochaine étape n’est autre que New York. Mais le lieutenant Dallas, appelé d’urgence sur cette nouvelle affaire, compte bien stopper leur cavalcade meurtrière. Avec l’aide de son équipe et de son mari Connors, Eve se promet de venger toutes ces victimes aux corps marqués d’une sinistre signature : un cœur où s’entrelacent les initiales des deux tueurs…

Amazon review by Runmentionable
This is a comprehensive, well-selected and obviously well-informed collection of late 40s jazz and R&B (in the old sense) of the type you might expect to hear in nightclub scenes in films noir. Appropriately enough, both discs are bookended by the theme music from classics of the genre.
Some of the selections are very familiar - Monk's original recording of Round Midnight - while others are drawn from deeper wells, like Leo Parker's exquisite Solitude. The key point is - they're all excellent representations of their genres. After that, it's down to personal tastes. I prefer Billie Holiday in more sprightly mode, but lots of people love the tracks here which I find a bit too self-pitying, and the difference of opinion don't signify when it comes to assessing this excellent compilation.

Louis Jordan was at the top of his fame when the 23 recordings reissued on this Classics CD were cut. The influential altoist/singer/entertainer during this era led a version of his Tympany Five that also featured trumpeter Aaron Izenhall, Josh Jackson on tenor and pianist Wild Bill Davis (years before he switched to organ). Among the hits included on the set are "Beware," "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin'," "Choo-Choo Ch'Boogie," "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," "Let the Good Times Roll" and "Jack You're Dead," but even the lesser-known tracks are entertaining…

A bumper 80 track, 4CD collection of the most iconic names and most beloved tracks of all time, including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Bobby Darin, Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr, Andy Williams, Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, and many more. The tracks themselves capture a magic period of mid-century glamour and sophistication.

On her third self-released album, Suzy Bogguss, one of the finest female vocalists living and working in Nashville, allows one of her many passions to come to the surface on Swing. With Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson in the producer's chair, Bogguss kicks out 12 classy pop, jazz, and swing tunes with a smoking band making a timeless sound. Benson knows the feel of this music inside and out (and brought his violin player, the Stephane Grappelli-inspired Jason Roberts, along for the ride), and Bogguss, whose mom is a big Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald fan, can sing virtually anything – but has a special affinity for the swing book – with a twist. There are nuggets of the repertoire here, such as Nat King Cole's "Straighten Up and Fly Right" and Duke Ellington's "Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me" as well as "Comes Love" – closely associated with Billie Holiday – and the great Ken Burgan tune "Sweetheart."
