5.0 out of 5 stars Weston is the best one, February 25, 2008

Paul Weston is really Mr. Easy Listening. But it's not elevator music; it is the very best of its kind: super arrangements with the best of 40s-50s jazzmen playing with an excellent tinge of 40s-50s jazz. Quite superior to Jackie Gleason, Mantavoni, Chacksfield, Stanley Black, and so many others. Weston Americanized his name, arranged for Tommy Dorsey in the 40s, and many of the great vocalists--a magna cum laude in music from Dartmouth. And was married to one of the great singers of the 40s and 50s, Jo Stafford. You can purchase so many of the Columbia and Capitol albums. They are all wonderful. 50svinyl

This review is from: Caribbean Cruise/Music for a Rainy Night (Audio CD)

Paul Weston was an early musical director for Capitol records,back in the 1940s..It was a time when crooners and vocal divas ruled the roost,Big Bands were experiencing thier heyday,and some of the very best songs ever to be written were new..Weston,who was married to songstress Jo Stafford,produced numerous hit sides for various entertainers,but these sides are his own early easy listening jazz versions of many song standards..Weston's's work is available on many cds now...When making these albums Weston assembled some of the very best jazz and studio talent,and when one listens these choices are evident...
