5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent early Peggy Lee, March 10, 2000

By 

Aaron (Aaron) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Trav'Lin Light (Audio CD)

Though not as early as her Benny Goodman sessions these were mainly from radio transcriptions, previosly avaialble through import labels. This is the first time they have been available domesticly though capital. Highly enjoyable and mamture Peggy Lee recordings accompanied by a good jazz combo led by her then husband David Darbour. Good music good jazz influenced singing, and aside from Anita O'Day, Miss Peggy Lee was the blackest white singer there ever was. Strongly recommeded.

4.0 out of 5 stars stingy with the songs, November 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Trav'Lin Light (Audio CD)

I have to agree with the other reviews that the quality of this cd is exceptional and the singing of Miss Lee is stunning to say the least, and for that I give it 5 stars, but my big complaint is the number of songs on this cd.
Come on....35.26 minutes !!!!especially when in the very informative booklet that is included, they talk about 72 titles in this series of radio transcripts (which, by the way is available completely as advertised on the back page!!!!).
I always feel a little "cheated" when I buy a cd and there's anything less then at least 50 minutes of music ...but I guess that's my problem, so I guess I'll just have to go put the "repeat" button on and start all over again.
PS. It's a wonderful cd and I guess I just want more....

5.0 out of 5 stars one of my favorite jazz vocal recordings - ever !, April 30, 2006

that opinionated guy "steve" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Trav'Lin Light (Audio CD)

it really is a shame that all the material from these transcriptions is not readily and affordably available as this is an utterly superlative set of tunes . Lee's voice is truly amazing on these songs , maybe as a result of not having to push to be heard over the larger ensembles she was used to working with . the warmth and sweetness of her singing here is just ineffable .

" goody goody " in particular just drives me nuts ! the way she

says " you ol' rascal you " at the end is just sublime .
