Not what it's cracked up to be.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Let's Go To Town (Audio CD)
The packaging implies that Miss Corey works with the Billy Maxted Manhattan Jazz Band, but that isn't so. Corey's selections were recorded with a large studio orchestra. One might well conclude that Corey and Maxted never met.
Maxted's numbers themselves are true to their Red Nichols heritage. His bands were always sized between a small combo and a big band, tightly-arranged and ricky-ticky. The dixieland playing is clean and of big league quality. Corey always comes off as a sweet kid with fine musicianship. Her singing has certain heartstring tugging qualities one might compare with that of Judy Garland, Helen Forrest or Betty Clooney. These armed forces recruiting transcribed programs cleaned up well: the sound is pretty brilliant. If I remember correctly (I have filed the disc away), the dubbed in applause over the end of each selection is abrupt and phony, alas. |
