5.0 out of 5 stars Super achat et super service, April 30 2009

This review is from: Mercury Songbook 100 Jazz Voc (Audio CD)
Choix de musique exceptionnel pour les nostalgiques des années 40 - 50 - 60 - 70 et plus. Quel coffret !!! Ces chansons sont absolument parfaites comme musique d'ambiance lors d'un souper en tête à tête ou avec plein d'invités qui sont aussi amateurs de bonne musique.

De plus, je dois souligner que le service de Amazon est exceptionnel. Je ne manquerai pas d'y faire appel à nouveau.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific selection of songs from the Great American Songbook, Jan 1 2011
This review is from: Mercury Songbook 100 Jazz Voc (Audio CD)
If you're looking to get into jazz singing and are not sure how to start, this is the perfect introduction. Lots of Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughn, but enough other artists to whet your interest. Never heard Helen Merrill or Blossom Dearie before, for example? This will give you a great idea as to whether any of these artists are for you.

I admit that I had mostly focused on jazz instrumentals before getting this set, with a few exceptions (like the Bill Evans/Tony Bennett recordings), but this really opened my eyes to a range of wonderful singers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, Nov 21 2008
By Stacy Lynch - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mercury Songbook 100 Jazz Voc (Audio CD)
I bought this box set in Toronto more than ten years ago and it's one of my all-time favorites. It reads like a who's who of jazz vocalists: Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone, Helen Merrill and Shirley Horn among others. It could be viewed as an education in how standards should be sung and played. But it's far too enjoyable to be thought of that way. In particular I love the fourth disc "Just One of Those 'Live' Things." It features a wide range of live performances where you can really hear the band and the vocalist improvising. It wasn't available in the US for a long time and I'm so pleased it's here now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best!, Jun 29 2005
By Tritone - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mercury Songbook 100 Jazz Voc (Audio CD)
This has got to be the greatest collection of jazz standards ever compiled. Sung by the best. It's really an education in jazz music. Highly recommended for those learning to play the standards, and for those who can actually remember the day...

5.0 out of 5 stars good value, Aug 25 2004
By M. Kieswetter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mercury Songbook 100 Jazz Voc (Audio CD)
Four discs full of jazz classics (no instrumentals). You can't go wrong here. Good for people like myself who aren't jazz experts. Includes my personal fave, "Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be?).
