5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, small group jazz...smoky & sultry, January 21, 2008

I have no idea what the other reviewer didn't like about this CD. I'm convinced he must have been listening to a different album. Besides, anyone who says an album "really stinks" but says NOTHING as to why, really makes me suspicious.

In any case, this album is one of Julie London's very best. It's Julie performing what she does best...mid tempo ballads with a small group (The Bud Shank Quintet). Her smoky, sultry voice oozes over Bud Shank's alto sax, and intertwines with Joe Pass's guitar work. It's a romantic album, with a naughty temptation in London's voice.

The album has also been remastered in 24-bit by Ron McMaster at Capitol Studios, and the result is crystal clear audio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Julie and Cole Porter prove a match made in heaven, October 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: All Through the Night (Audio CD)

This 1966 album of Cole Porter songs ranks among Julie London's finest albums. Recorded with the Bud Shank Quintet, "All Through the Night" is a perfect blend of hypnotic ballads and toe-tapping uptempo numbers. The affair kicks off with a delightful "I've Got You Under My Skin" and glides into a quick-as-lightning "You Do Something to Me." "Get Out of Town" shows Julie in one her finest elements with a seductive bossa nova arrangement, and the title track entices and seduces from beginning to end. "So in Love" is another Bossa Nova workout, this time twice as fast but just as smooth. Elsewhere on the album Julie swings in grand fashion on "Easy to Love" and particularly well on "In the Still of the Night," and "Every Time We Say Goodbye" is arguably Julie's finest ballad ever. The arrangements are top-notch, the musicians impressive and Julie's vocals are, as always, first class. This is one album you'll want to listen to all through the night.

4.0 out of 5 stars London and Porter are good mix, August 28, 2000

This review is from: All Through the Night (Audio CD)

Julie London's husky, seductive tones are a perfect playmate to some of Cole Porter's best tunes. Backed by the Bud Shank quintet, London smoothly takes us from "I've Got Your Under My Skin" to "In the Still of the Night." Celebrated guitarist Joe Pass helps cool the outing whether it be supporting London's bluesy versions of "Every Time We Say Goodbye" or her swinging send up of "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." The only drawback to this disc is it clocks in at only 32 minutes. While some listings say this disc is out of stock, it can be found if one is persistent. It's a great addition to any London library.
