Previous reviewer seems not very knowledgeable....,
By
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
This is an excellent album of music by one of the great contributors to lush, smooth, '50s-era instrumental arrangements. Obviously the previous reviewer was not aware of Mr. Gleason's considerable talents as an orchestra leader in addition to his TV-comedy fame. Bravo to the Jackie Gleasons of the world who master art in more than one medium!

Ten "Plain Vanilla" Hits from The Great One,

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
Jackie Gleason called what he did "plain vanilla" music. Vanilla is deceptive. You think it's simple, but there are over 250 compounds at work to create a flavor we just can't resist.Gleason wasn't really a musician; he neither read or wrote music. He would "imagine" the music and then describe it to an assistant who would transcribe it. No matter if Jackie didn't have the technical chops to play the instruments or write the notes, under his supervision some really beautiful "mood music" was created in the 50's and 60's. This collection contains ten beautiful remastered songs. There is another The Best of Jackie Gleason collection on Amazon with ten different songs. Hard to say which are the hands down best - they are all beautiful! Recommended! However, if you like Gleason's music, go ahead and splurge on The Romantic Moods Of Jackie Gleason, a two CD set of 40 gorgeous songs completely remastered.

Value Jackie $$$,

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
LUSH, like most of Jackie's 50'-60's instrumental work. Good value $$$ for the 10 cuts on this CD. Sit back pour yourself a Mai Tai & let Mr. Gleason put you in a relaxing mood.
