Member CD Reviews Donna P. from BATTLE CREEK, MI Reviewed on 2/18/2020... I do like covers of standards done with a full orchestra, and this one fits the bill. 2 of 3 member(s) found this review helpful.
CD ReviewsGood anthology, well annotated 03/24/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "For those of us who have long wondered what the music sounded like on those Jackie Gleason albums long out of print ("Lover's Portfolio," "Rebound," "Lonesome Echo" and so forth), this is a good place to start. Selections from no less than 31 of Gleason's Capitol albums from the 50s and 60s can be found here along with single releases and previously unreleased sides. For each track the liner notes list recording date, soloist, and album on which the track first appeared.The instrumentations on these sides range from full string orchestra with soloist (often trumpet) to brass orchestra to flute orchestra to mandolin orchestra (try it--you'll like it). The selections here are mostly standards with a few Gleason originals thrown in--one of these, "The Moonlight," is breathtaking. Wistful, yearning, and always romantic are the superb renditions of "Ruby," "I'm in the Mood for Love," "You Oughta Be in Pictures," and "I Can't Get Started."

"The Great One" Steve Rawlings | Denver, CO USA | 03/21/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Jackie Gleason was one of the entertainment world's renaissance men. He was an accomplished comedian, actor, arranger, and composer. His music will forever serve as his living legacy. His works set the standard for many of the great musicians who followed, including Mantovani, Mauriat, and others. This CD eloquently captures the soft, sultry, and seductive sounds from an era that was Jackie's alone. Jackie could not read a note of music, yet he composed and arranged some the of finest music ever recorded in America. He was a gifted artist who could blend the sounds from a crystal-clear coronet, with a simmering sax, soaring strings, and a deep, resonant bass to create an ambiance for romance, reflection, and rapture. From his signature work "Melancholy Serenade" to contemporary classics like "Ruby" and "Misty," the music flows like vintage wine..."
