You Stepped Out Of A Dream + 4 More Songs - Wow!!!, November 29, 2004
This review is from: Memorable & Mellow Bobby Hackett (Audio CD)
Please refer to my review for the product entitled: You Stepped Out Of A Dream. Memorable and Mellow contains all of these tracks with the addition of the tracks:
You Only Live Twice, When You Awake, On The Street Where You Live, and Nancy With The Laughing Face. This is the Bobby Hackett dream CD for the following reason:
All 9 tracks on the CD Goodnight My Love are contained on the
You Stepped Out Of A Dream CD. So, if you can grasp Memorable and Mellow, you get these 2 CDs plus 4 songs, all in one. Grand!!! In addition, I can recommend the next step up from Memorable and Mellow. See the sponsored links, or go to www.yestermusic.com for Music 'Til Dawn. Bobby Hackett is supported by 2 theater organs, one or another at any given time, with each organ played by 4 hands. There are also piano and guitar brought into the mix. These 2 organs were salvaged from demolition, and kept in 2 large barns. Columbia sent everyone involved out to the barns to make the recording. You will find this rapturous recording only at yestermusic.com and that is because the producer was there for the original recording. He obtained it from the vaults where it would likely have remained in obscurity. Bobby Hackett is at his very best here, with remastered sound that is clean and bright. Bobby Hackett's cornet stands alone on ballads just as Wild Bill Davison's does on romps and stomps. An absolute and irrevocable thrill awaits you!

Having studied Trumpet in the 1960's and 70's in school I was told by my band and orchestra teachers early on to find a couple of professinal artists albums that I liked and try to listen to those and emulate their sounds. I happened to choose Bobby Hackett and Al Hirt from my Mom's collection of records. Later in my adult life I got the oppurtunity to meet and befriend Al Hirt. Never got to meet Bobby Hackett however I know that Al Hirt admired Hackett for that " Mellow Horn".
Peace,
Tommy "Gee" Gaston

Awesome, June 23, 2011
This review is from: Memorable & Mellow Bobby Hackett (Audio CD)
If you like romantic music, this will satisfy you... very "mellow", smooth. Bobby Hackett is SO good on the cornet.
My favorite cut is "My Foolish Heart". Don't hesitate on this one... better than most of the new stuff these days.
