June Christy's bid to shake some of the frost off her image resulted in these two late-'50s albums. Although the ostensible theme of Gone for the Day is a visit to the outdoors with a lover, the occasional jarring note drops--witness the knowing orchestral dissonance on "It's So Peaceful in the Country" and the nod to Christy's bittersweet signature song, "Something Cool," on "When the World Was Young." Only a glib, brassy "Give Me the Simple Life" seems out of place. Fair and Warmer starts on a similar note with "I Want to Be Happy" but soon settles down. Christy's melody-bending performance renders the Jimmy Van Heusen/Johnny Burke "Imagination"'s suggestions of sex as melancholy as Gone's high points, while she takes charge of the situation on Irving Berlin's "Best Thing for You." This disc finds Christy striking close to greatness on a pair of complementary records from an era when the LP was finding its way as a conceptual tool. --Rickey Wright

two great albums by an underappreciated singer.......2005-12-02

I think that June Christy must have been among the most thoughtful of jazz singers. Along with Sinatra, she was one of the first to grasp the idea of the concept album, a series of thematically related songs that set a mood. "Gone For the Day" is such an album, a set of relaxed tunes about life in the country. She was also fearless in her song choices; on both of these two albums, her knack for finding obscure but excellent songs is demonstrated by the fact that the songs you've heard before are probably outnumbered by the songs you haven't.

"Gone for the Day" is a particular favorite of mine. I really like Pete Rugolo's arrangements. He uses a string section, a full complement of trombones, a flute and a french horn, but no trumpets or saxes, contributing to the quiet mood. June Christy never sang better than on this album. She had a real gift for projecting emotion and melancholy using a restrained and understated style. Perhaps it was her midwestern background that kept everything bubbling just under the surface where you can sense it but not see it. Whatever. It's refreshing, and it's the opposite approach from what most singers use today; unmusical pyrotechnics disguising a hollow core.

Especially good is "When the Sun Comes Out," which is my favorite version of the song I've ever heard. "Gone for the Day" probably wasn't very commercial when it came out in 1957, and it's even less so today, but it is a great listen.

Soft, cool, romantic jazz.......2002-07-31

The late, great, June Christy was the ultimate stylist. June had her limitations, but worked within them to great effect. She was at her best on the soft, romantic numbers, but she was well capable of picking up the tempo when required. June always allowed her musicians their share of the glory - there are nice instrumental breaks here and there, but ultimately it is June's voice that is important.

These albums do not represent June's artistic peak (The Misty Miss Christy and Something Cool are generally regarded as her two best, though opinions are divided between them) but the two albums which make up this CD are of an extremely high quality. Most singers never come close to recording albums of this quality, never mind those other two.

What you have here (as the two titles suggest) are two albums which are inspired by, and ideal as a background for, those warm summer nights - but you can play them at other times of the year when you want to dream about summer.

If you are already familiar with June's music, this twofer will make a wonderful addition to your collection. If not, this is a great place to start - but whether you start here, or with another of June's albums, you may end up buying several of June's albums, just as I did, and you'll wonder why it took you so long to buy that first one.

JUNE IN AUGUST.......2001-08-05

With her limited vocal range,JUNE has made wonders.She was perhaps the worst judge of her own talent.These two albums of 1957 are wonderful to say the least.JUNE has what other singers sometimes lack:a heart and that is the main reason she remains rather unique among the jazz singers of her generation.Notice how she along with her musical director is able to pick the right songs for her.JUNE is a terrific ballad singer ,deeply moving in a most unusual way.Once she takes a particuliar song,she manages most of the time to display a kind of melancolic charm that stays with you a long time.Those songs almost bring us a sort of portrait of the woman.One is inclined to think that the few up tempo numbers in this selection of songs were asked by CAPITOL to help the sells.God bless JUNE CHRISTY!

THE SOUL CLENSER!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-01-27

This album isn't fireous, isn't wild, and isn't played in odd time signatures. The arrangments are good and the group plays great. All I can say is that, after I listened to it, I felt refreshed. The group takes it easy and quiet, but down right swings. A must for even a Ornett Colemen fan.

good music, bad sound.......2003-03-11

I recently bought this album. While the music (as expected from any Brubeck album) was good, I found the sound quality not up to the mark. The bass was lumpy & the sound lacked transparency. This is surprising as TIME OUT & BRUBECK TIME - both of which were recorded prior to this album - have much better sound quality. Do others find the same problem as me?

A Refeshingly, Cool, Inviting Wind!.......2001-11-18

After personally witnessing Joe Morello execute a ONE-handed drum "roll" at a seminar of his in Madison Wi. in the early '60's,his exquisite brush-work solo on "Swanee River",was not surprising,but is nevertheless totally pleasing each time I hear it! This "jazz drummer's drummer"(in my estimation),also shines radiantly in his "Short'nin Bread" solo,on melodically-tuned tom-toms.
Eugene Wright's delightful bass solo in "Old Man River",leaves no room for criticism either,confirming that he & Morello were two, sometimes overlooked, pillars supporting this innovative,trail-blazing quartet.
Much (deserved)praise has been showered upon Brubeck & Desmond of course,& one listen to "Georgia on my Mind",with Paul's luscious,almost haunting sax solo & Dave's beautiful piano interpretation will suffice to instruct anyone unfamiliar with them,as to why their music remains so popular to this day.

Frankly, my dear, I DO give a damn!.......2001-03-08

There are so many ways to view the influence of Dave Brubeck and this very special quartet - I'll stick to music. The power of these four to create new perspectives is at its highest on this CD. I owned the vinyl LP, wore its grooves down to the other side and if there is a limit to the life of a CD, I am sure I'll find it! The one word I can think of to describe what I hear from Morello,Wright,Desmond and Dave on this CD is reverance.

There's A Whole Lalo Schifirin Goin' On..........2005-01-21

...as one of his infamous 60's albums boasted.

Schifrin is best known as the guy who put the theme to the Mission Impossible TV show (hence the highly identifiable bars' usage in the movie updates) in the vaults of pop culture's most memorable music. Following those years he's done pop/jazz albums as well as themes and orchestration for many Hollywood productions and classical high brow stuff with many well known orchestras. Here he is joined by the Rochester Pops as he recreates some of the filmdom's greatest tunes. Tunes like Over the Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz, Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffanys, the great Love Theme from The Godfather. The highlight of the production is the Space Melody which includes the music (Sprach Zarathusthra) from 2001: A Space Oddyssey and John Williams' tunes from Star Wars. Instantly recognisable and very enjoyable from track to track, movie lovers will really enjoy the music on this production...

Gone is Right!.......2005-02-27

When oh When is Mr. Foskett going to put his catalog back into print? I have seen this man perform with Brian Wilson several times and love his own music on the same scale. Jeff, you are too good to let your catalog rust! They're a number of us that love Brian as much as you do, and love how you have inherited his talent, including an amazingly warm falsatto. Please re-release all of your stuff-AMAZON please help!

Fortunate to Own a Copy of This!.......2001-10-02

Anyone who can appreciate great music - great writing, production, orchestration, performance - put together into one piece of perfection, will find this cd a true treasure during the very first listen. If you are a devoted fan of the all-mighty Brian Wilson and his incredible inspirations, and the genius quality of a Todd Rundgren production, and if you loved the sounds of the Beach Boys, the Youngbloods, and maybe a small hint of other 60's bands here and there...and wrap them all into one cd that just makes you feel good to hear every bit of it -This Is The One!! It's original,...it's fresh,..it's a project put together by quite a talented bunch (read the inside cover!) This cd is GUARANTEED to make you dance around the room!!!
