CD Reviews

A long-awaited treasure chest
aquariuslib | 06/13/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This new collection of Gordon Jenkins tracks is something I've been waiting for ever since CDs first appeared. One of my most treasured Jenkins vinyls is a 10" disc of Gordon's own compositions...and here they are, back and sparkling new again..on CD. After more than 35 years I can once again listen to his own songs as he wanted them to sound:"When a Man Loves a Woman","Goodbye" "Blue Prelude", "Homesick, That's All", "P.S I Love You", "You have taken my heart"...with strings,vocalists and the chorus in excellent form. Add to this Jenkins' own distinctive touch in evergreen classics such as "Stella by Starlight", "Begin the Beguine"..and , of course, Gordie's own musical and lyrical mini-masterpiece, the near-autobiographical "This Is AllI Ask". An all-round treasure chest of never-to-be-forgotten arrangements, presentation and sheer artistry in Gordon Jenkins' very own, distinctive style. He would have loved this re-issue...and so will every Jenkins fan."

"I grew up on Gordon Jenkins. It seems he has been lost in music history until these new releases. What music! what arrangements! what a musician. Mellow and meaningful.
I have the original set of Seven Dreams on 45 rpm&box. I hope this lost masterpiece of Gordon Jenkin's will be remastered also!"
