Sentimental Journey

Amazon.com
Ringo Starr's early post-Beatle solo efforts revealed an artist who seemed to revel in both his newfound artistic freedom and the chance to prove just how underestimated he may have been. While John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison were making music not dissimilar to their recent Beatles past, Starr undertook two wildly disparate projects, this Tin Pan Alley tribute to some of the American songbook's most cherished standards (cut to please his parents, according to legend) and the straightforward country & western collection Beaucoups of Blues. Though it confounded many a critic at the time of its release, Journey has a relaxed, strangely melancholy feel, even if Ringo seems to be occasionally waltzing through some of the arrangements (undertaken by an all-star roster of producer/arrangers, including George Martin, Elmer Bernstein, Quincy Jones, and Paul McCartney). Hardly the greatest post-Beatles release, but certainly one of the oddest and least expected. --Jerry McCulley

Nostalgia.......2007-05-31

As a singer, I'm always looking for new (or old) material and in this wonderful CD, Sentimental Journey, by the incomparable Miss Beegie Adair, I've found fabulous new presentations of matchless WW2 songs. There are 12 songs on this CD and I've taken 6 of them for my own interpretation. These are the nostalgic songs that our parents danced and romanced to in the 40's and they're just as beautiful today. Beegie brings them to life again, not that they ever went away, but to listen to her brilliant playing of I'm Getting Sentimental Over You; Sentimental Journey; It's been a Long,Long Time; You'll Never know and I'll Be Seeing You is a very moving experience. Long live Brilliant Beegie !!

Beegie is Great.......2007-04-11

Beegie Adair is one great jazz pianist. If you like jazz and like WWII music, buy this CD.

Wonderful!.......2006-10-16

This is the best. It's so pleasing to listen to. I had heard it twice before I purchased it and remember thinking what cheerful, uplifting music it is. It lifts my mood each time I play it. Someone mentioned that it was good dinner music, I would whole heartedly agree. In fact, I am online now to buy one for my sister for her birthday. She is an artist, she wants to have this on while she works.

Best-ever "cocktail piano".......2006-07-09

For those who don't know her, Beegie Adair has made the best albums ever created, in a class of music that used to be called "cocktail piano". Unlike the great jazz pianists that require close attention while listening (Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Hampton Hawes, etc), she makes music that's quiet and relaxing, but with much more class and intelligence than Muzak, elevator music, or schlocky pop-cover instrumentals. It's the perfect background music for working at a computer, making or having drinks or dinner, or talking with friends. If you'd like some of that in your collection, she's as good as you'll ever find. "I'll Take Romance" is the album I would recommend most highly; this would be a good second, if you try that and want more.

Violinist Regina Carter recorded I'll Be Seeing You: A Sentimental Journey following her mother's death. A tribute to her mom, it features period songs she was fond of. But far from wallowing in sentimentality, it's a spirited work of reflection featuring vocals by the irrepressible Dee Dee Bridgwater on two songs, including a freewheeling "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen," and the charismatic Carla Cook on three tunes, including a darkly glowing "St. Louis Blues." Teaming to warmly atmospheric effect part of the time with clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera and accordionist Gil Goldstein, Carter readily avoids easy nostalgia, whether basking in the childlike delights of "A-Tisket, A-Tasket," "Little Brown Jug" and "Anitra's Dance" (the Peer Gynt classic, taken from the great '30s bandleader John Kirby's arrangement), or the more sophisticated of emotion of Duke Ellington's "Blue Rose" and "I'll Be Seeing You." Produced by John Clayton, the album doesn't rise to the heights of Freefall, Carter's 2001 duo recording with pianist Kenny Barron, but its easygoing qualities win out over the slick high conceptualism of some of her other efforts. --Lloyd Sachs

What you get is what you see.......2007-06-13

As the title of the album and the somewhat, well, kitschy cover indicate, this CD is indeed a sort of sentimental journey through the musical past... From my point of view, it is only a pitty the affair is not a little less sentimental and a little more swinging.

Regina Carter has a beautiful tone, but I feel she is not really a swinger (I guess more modern forms of jazz are more her domain). The accordeonist Goldstein also weighs things down a bit, but this still doesn't mean you shouldn't buy this CD, particularly if you're not a die-hard fan of really swinging violinists (ellegant Stephane Grappelli, rugged Ray Nance, joyous Svend Assmusen and others).

And, to ensure at least 4 stars for this album, there is the versatile Cuban Paquito D'Rivera, who at times really shows adequate swinging passion on his clarinet and finally, but by no means unsignificantly, there are two tracks with Dee Dee Bridgewater who can really cook a swinging storm with her voice and push the other musicians to their limits and beyond ...

All in all, not a bad CD, falling somewhere between nostalgia and swing.

Incredible! Incredible! Incredible!.......2007-03-09

Regina Carter is perhaps the most amazing jazz violinist of this period.I have all of her recordings and this is one of my favorites. I just can't get tired of it.

An Awesome Journey.......2006-08-19

My husband and I love it. Ms. Carter plays with such emotion. She is truly an artist who can interpret a piece of music and make it her own. We are so glad that she went back into the studio to record after the recent death of her Mom.
This recording rates right up there with Rhythms of the Heart and Paganini: After a Dream.

Stellar.......2006-07-25

Regina Carter's violin appears in places with Mary J. Blige (My Life cd) and and Wynton Marsalis (Blood on the Fields), so you could say her versatility is unquestionable. I love to notice where artists like her show up discretely in liner notes in a variety of places and listen to their chameleon-like virtuosity evolve through their own choices. She has recorded some fabulous music with her violin but here she seems to find her own sincere voice and her own spiritual sentimentality without geting too wax nostaligic (for example on "A-Tisket A-Tasket"). My favorite track is "How Ruth Felt" because it's both awkward and grounded at the same time and seems to capture some of the relationship she must have had with her late mother to whom she dedicated the cd.

RINGO SINGS BETTER AT COUNTRY SONGS.......2007-07-30

I WONDER IF THAT REVIEWE ERIC ANDREWS KNOWS THAT THE BEATLES WERE STILL A GROUP WHEN RINGO RECORDED THIS ALBUM.MONTHS AFTER IT WAS RELEASED THE BEATLES STILL HADN'T BROKEN UP YET.HE SHOULD GET HIS FACTS STRAIGHT.BEATLES ALWAYS DABBED IN SOLO WORKS WHILE THEY WERE A BAND DATING BACK TO WHEN JOHN WOULD WRITE BOOKS AS A SIDELINE AND PAUL DID THE MUSIC SOUNDTRACK FOR THE FAMILY WAY,AND GEORGE FOR THE MOVIE WONDERWALL.RINGO SOUNDS BETTER SINGING COUNTRY SONGS.ITS HARD ENOUGH FOR MOST SINGERS TO SING THESE SONGS LET ALONE RINGO.HE DOES A GOOD JOB ON MOST OF THEM.BUT NOT ALL.AND I THINK HE COULD HAVE SUNG THE TITLE SONG SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY BETTER.HIS VOICE HAS KIND OF A TWANG TO IT WHEN HE SINGS IT.AND HE SHOULDNT HAVE SUNG IT LIKE THAT.HE DIDNT SING GOODNIGHT OFF THE WHITE ALBUM LIKE THAT.ALTHOUGH I THINK THE ANTHOLOGY EARLY TAKE OF GOODNIGHT IS WAY BETTER THAN THE WHITE ALBUM VERSION.I ALSO RECOMMEND RINGO'S VERSION OF DON'T PASS ME BY ON THE VH1 STORYTELLERS CD.THAT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE WHITE ALBUM VERSION.I KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS HEARD IT WILL AGREE.I'D ALSO LIKE TO SAY IT WAS NICE THAT GEORGE AND JOHN AND PAUL WROTE AND COMPOSED SONGS FOR RINGO TO SING LIKE IT DON'T COME EASY AND IM THE GREATEST AND PHOTOGRAPH.

Ringo is so much fun.......2007-05-06

I first bought Sentimental Journey in the early 70s on vinyl and was pleasantly surprised.
I was very pleased to see it released on CD!
If you are a fan of the Fab Four, this CD is a must. Although Ringo is obviously not a great singer, he is quite enjoyable and fun to listen to. You can tell he was having a great time recording this material and actually does quite well. A very good selection of material and out of all the tracks there were only maybe 2 that I did not particularly care for the arrangement(s), but I would still recommend purchasing this CD.
It is one of which I will never tire of listening (and enjoying). Tip of the hat to Ringo for forging on with the project when there was probably not a lot of encouragement. He did well.

beautiful.......2006-03-16

This is a beautiful album that does just what it implies in the title. It takes you on a sentimental journey of beautiful music and memories of times gone by. Ringo is a talented drummer, but I also love to listen to him sing!

Ringo- the trendsetter.......2006-02-12

Long before it was fashionable for rock stars to record albums of American standards, Ringo released this in 1970. Linda Rondstadt, Boz Scaggs and Rod Stewart were all just getting their "rock" careers started and doing this type of work was many years away for all of them.
As for Ringo's standards, they are well chosen (many would turn up on later standards releases) and well produced by the likes of George Martin, Paul McCartney, and Quincy Jones. Ringo sings them well , maybe surprisingly well to some, and proves he can drum to something other than rock. He hasn't done another set of standards but it would be welcome.

NOSTALGIC RETRO CLASSIC.......2005-03-21

Ringo and Harry (Nilsson) did it long before Rod Stewart's "Great American Songbook" collection. A great song is just that! It lives and thrives as it passes from generation to generation. Call it tradition, call it historic, I call it pure fun even with the archaic electronics which adds to the album's "dated" quality. My mother, God bless her curly permed head, turned me on to some great music! (She would buy the records after I would whine about 'needing' to hear something/anything) This record was easy to get her to buy because of the song selections. It certainly remains a "Sentimental Journey". It was and is a moment in time...the Beatles were passing into the future, Ringo took a look back before moving forward.

Album Description

Doris Day's biggest hit, 'Sentimental Journey' was recorded while she was a vocalist in Les Brown's band in the mid-1940s. Highlights from these two original albums on one compact disc include 'Fly Me To The Moon' and 'The More I See You.' (Collectables)

Customer Reviews:

Classic 1965 recordings.......2007-01-13

Highly polished, studio recordings -- with a bit too much reverb for me. It was all the rage at the time. My opinion are the recordings she made with Nelson Riddle and Harry Zimmerman are better. The "Sentimental Journey" track on this recording is probably the one you know and love from radio play.

Simply Timeless.......2005-03-09

Growing up with Doris Day music and movies, I knew the simple fact that here was a woman that could sing, act, dance, look beautiful and make me smile or tear up with each performance. Then one evening a year ago I was watching a performance of my daughter's High School Ball Room Dance team (which is now a hot sport amongist teenagers) perform, and a song came on they were dancing to that blew me away. When I asked the coach who was singing it, I found out it was Doris Day's recording of "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps". No girl next door here, this song simply sizzled. The other tunes on this CD are great, but for this song alone I would buy this. Doris Day movies or music are simply timeless.

One word is all I need: Beautiful!.......2004-06-25

This is not the first Doris Day CD someone should buy; you should start with one of her greatest-hits CDs such as "Golden Girl" (which I've earlier reviewed). But if, after listening to this, you decide you want to hear more of that great voice, this should be one to get early. It's truly a beautiful example of what Doris could do.

Most of Doris Day's big hits were in the 1950s; this CD represents a Doris Day of about 10 years later. It is a combination of two LPs which she recorded two months apart in 1964 and Columbia released (the second-recorded one first!) in 1965. So it's a slightly more mature Doris Day, but just as nice to listen to as the Doris of the 1950s.

The two LPs combined in this CD are actually two quite different sets of tunes. "Doris Day's Sentimental Journey" consists of a collection of songs that were old standards even in 1964, plus a remake of her very first hit, the title tune of the album, done in a rather different style from the 1940s version. "Latin for Lovers" contains a number of songs that were mostly fairly new in 1964 (some of which might be called standards now!) with Latin origins. (Some were composed by the man who introduced the bossa nova to the USA, Antonio Carlos Jobim.) Only one of the songs on "Latin for Lovers" was one I'd heard Doris do: "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" ("Quizas, Quizas, Quizas" in the original Spanish). All the songs on both LPs, now on one CD, reminded me of why I've always considered Doris my favorite singer; every single one is done beautifully.

What more can I say? Of course it gets 5 stars! I wish I could give it six!

Voice without peers.......2003-06-25

I remembered her voice as just one of those flashy voices from Hollywood movies.Alas,those were mostly in mono and simply had yet to discover the true virtue of her voice.

Then in Amsterdam I found some great soundtracks with old works from Henry Mancini.Next to his works was some this rather shy album of Doris Day.

When I heard her interpretation of * Three coins in the fountain & Quiet nights of quiet stars *,I couldn't believe my ears. Her voice has such profound timbre with such grade delicacy of
the acoustic instrument, one just brought to life by finest artisan alive. Her voice is so vibrant and resonant like any voice I have heard before.

I asked my friends at my home to listen some music on my system and I asked them who is finest female voice on the planet? Some said Billie Holiday , Ella Fitzgerald....list goes on.

With some reservation I said for me it is from now on Doris Day.
Needles to say that made them laugh until they have heard sheer delicacy of her voice.

Without any reservation,with experience in classical music and Jazz, her voice is among finest voices, period. It is a great pity that she didn't extend range of her materials more into demanding materials of Jazz standards. I'm scare to think what kind of the treat that would be.

Her voice is like a finest High-End audio instrument, depending only on quality of material. If you treat the same with care it will reward you with delight. Ribbon speaker owners and those with generally fine systems, listen for these two songs on
this album. It will define you standards, what can you expect in human voice. In this case. exquisite,profound and unique voice of Doris Day.

In today mediocrity of quality in almost every sphere of human awareness,let her voice remind you that some things posses a true substance.

Doris recorded great albums while the Beatles took over USA.......2003-06-01

The first album on this twofer, Sentimental journey, was recorded in 1964 and was something of a nostalgia trip for Doris - truly a sentimental journey back to the songs of the forties. The title track is a re-recording (and updating) of the song that provided Doris with her biggest hit during her days with Les Brown. Some may regard the new version as sacrilege, but I love it, as I also love the original.

The album begins with The more I see you. Originally an American hit for Dick Haymes, Chris Montez had an international hit with his cover in the sixties. I remember you was originally a top ten hit for Jimmy Dorsey but Frank Ifield had a huge sixties hit with it around the world, going to the very top of the UK charts. At last and Serenade in blue were popularised by Glenn Miller. Among the other songs here, you can listen to covers of Come to baby do (another song Doris originally recorded with Les Brown), I'll never smile again (Tommy Dorsey), I'm beginning to see the light (Harry James), It could happen to you (Jo Stafford) and It's been a long long time, which topped the 1945 charts in America via two different versions (Bing Crosby, Harry James).

The second album on this twofer, Latin for lovers, recorded in 1963, features a mix of standards and songs of Latin origin, all given a gentle bossa nova rhythm. On Be mine tonight, Doris actually sings a verse in Spanish - the only time she ever did that. Of the standards, Fly me to the moon and Our day will come are the best known. One of the Latin songs, Perhaps perhaps perhaps (a translation of Quizas quizas quizas) became popular in the UK as a consequence of its use in a TV commercial. This is an excellent album that sets its own mood.

Doris could not compete with the Beatles for sales, although she continued to record albums of the highest quality - and they have stood the test of time.

In the UK, these two albums were issued on separate twofers - Sentimental journey was coupled with What every girl should know, while Latin for lovers was coupled with Love him.

Take A Sentimental Journey.......2007-07-12

Another fabulous compilation of the music of another time. This one is as great as Volume 1. Another winner!!

Classy ladies singing classy tunes!.......2005-09-26

After watching a T V commercial with the song "Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy" playing in the background, I wanted my daughters to hear the complete song. We found this and I was very pleased to see that it included more of the beautiful songs from that era with many more of my personal favorites such as "Sentimental Journey", "I Don't Know Enough About You" and "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief". Being a child of the sixties, these songs were popular before my time...but having been raised with an appreciation of the big band classics, I knew most of the tunes on this volume and wanted to give my daughters the same opportunity. It's great nostalgic music, with a wonderful variety of songs and artists. I highly recommend this musical...sentimental journey...back in time.

A strange, but pleasant collection.......2005-02-24

This CD is one of a number of CDs issued by Capitol with similar content; there is at least one other featuring female singers, and at least one specializing in male singers. The first thing to notice is that some singers are represented doing songs that other singers made famous, and even other singers who are on the CD as well. For example, Dinah Shore does Doris Day's "Sentimental Journey" while June Christy in turn does Dinah's "Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy"! Another recording by Dinah Shore is, to be sure, one of a song she made famous, "I'll Walk Alone." But the version on this CD is not her 1944 hit version, but a much later recording (though this is not concealed in the liner notes). Obviously, much of what drove the selection of recordings for this CD was the availability of the song on Capital. Still, listening to the CD, I enjoyed all the performances, and consequently have to rate it as better than simply "OK" -- thus giving it 4 stars.

Rosemary Clooney's renaissance on Concord continues with Sentimental Journey, her 20th-plus disc for the label. This set of standards and two new set pieces recalls her pre-"Come-On a My House" days while asserting her ongoing strength at 73. Clooney moves from various shades of romance ("That Old Black Magic," "Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe") to a display of comic timing ("Ya Got Class") that suggests she could've developed a second career on the "legitimate" stage. Supple solos by Matt Cowan (tenor sax) and bandleader Matt Catingub (alto) bring further depth to the likes of "And the Angels Sing" and "You Belong to Me." The single most affecting track, though, is an "I'll Be Around" that finds Clooney accompanied by Catingub's solo piano--a finer tribute to Frank Sinatra, who defined the song on In the Wee Small Hours, than the two stolid odes to him and the craft. --Rickey Wright

Album Description

Subtitled - The Girl Singer and Her New Big Band with Big Kahuna and the Copa Cat Pack. This project grew out of Clooney's month-long residence at Feinstein's at New York's Regency Hotel, where she was accompanied by Matt Catingub's band with the funny, sassy Latin name. Catingub's been a busy musician in Hawaii for years, & his 12-piece outfit is a perfect fit for Clooney's crisp, deliberate style. He's in good company considering that she's shared stages with Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, & Woody Herman. The centerpiece is the title track, which longtime pianist/arranger John Oddo created to maximize intimacy, punctuated by big brassy exclamation points between verses. Concord Jazz. 2001.

A Classic Swan Song.......2005-09-17

Tremendous final effort by Rosemary Clooney, returning to her big band roots. Wonderful selection of songs, which she performs in her brilliant, insightful style.

And what a great journey it is.......2003-07-11

This is yet another outstanding CD by the great Rosemary Clooney! Her voice, smooth as silk, takes us on a journey back in time to the world of big bands and girl singers. Among the best tracks on this collection are AND THE ANGELS SING, HAPPINESS IS JUST A THING CALLED JOE, and, of course, the title track. Her talent is amazing and I certainly miss her!
This is a must for any Rosemary Clooney fan!

We miss you dear Rosie!.......2002-08-15

Like so many of her fans, the passing of this legendary vocalist hit me very hard.

I was listening to the bulk of this CD at work and realized what a great talent Rosie truly was. In this Grammy-nominated effort, she demonstrated her magnificent way with a lyric, and the song selection (backed by Matt Catingub's solid Big Kahuna band) was first-rate. Loved the duet with Matt on "Ya Got Class!!!"

Ms. Clooney knew the intent of a song and was musically true to each composer's work, in her own fashion. Sadly, there aren't many of the great interpreters of classic pop singing - Tony Bennett, Steve and Eydie, Robert Goulet, and so on - left.

Talk about a velvet voice ..........2002-07-10

Listened to this CD and absolutely enjoyed it. Almost felt as if I were sitting at a table in some nightclub, watching her as well. Well done!

ROSIE WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED.......2002-07-01

Like all other Rosemary Clooney fans, I was deeply saddened over the weekend when I put the radio on & one of the headline news stories mentioned her passing after a battle with lung cancer. I feel as if I've lost a good friend & now I find myself pulling out just about all of her albums(due in part to the fact that there is no longer any NY radio station that plays American Popular Standards). Hopefully sometime in the near future we will see more collections(especially boxed sets)of even more of Rosie's wonderful music. Let's not forget come Christmas time to watch the classic film White Christmas-it will have even more meaning this year. Rest In Peace, old friend, I am sure you are having a blast up there with your sister Betty, as well as dear friends like Bing, Frank, Dean, Perry & many others of their ilk. Heaven must have one helluva chorus, especially with the addition of latest member, Rosemary Clooney. This music MUST be collected & preserved, so whether you've been a fan for many years or just discovering Rosie's music, at least you can take heart in knowing there is a huge treasure trove of music to choose from. Very highly recommended!

Very emotive covers of some standard tunes.......2002-10-29

Look, Boots Randolph hardly pushed saxophony into new dimensions, but the guy has a style and he's a good study in adding emotive content to horn playing. One also gets a chance to hear more than Randolph's pop-music activity on the apparatus; he actually does some interesting improv here and there, and shows that he does, indeed, have some technique to show off.

Album Description

In the spring of 1986, Fats Domino was one of the first inductees into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and Rolling Stone journalist Kurt Loder noted, 'Domino was an unabashed apostle of fun and good feelings . . . His lusciously slurred delivery, set atop a classic Crescent City musical base thick with saxophones and clumps of block-chord piano, created an atmosphere of foot-tapping amiability. Fats seldom deviated from this patented style but the style itself was endlessly appealing.' It was as Loder wrote, 'the distinct sound of a city'. And that city was New Orleans. Sentimental Journey features 16 hits, recorded live at The University of New Orleans in 1987!
