Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, Part One
»rank: 1157
0ur Review: :A perfect martini-and-mistletoe combo, Christmas Cocktails will gaily seduce you with its bevy of nostalgic and occasionally campy holiday fare. Vocal vixens Peggy Lee, Julie London (her 'l'd Like You for Christmas' will melt the ice cubes in your fridge), Kay Starr, and Nancy Wilson join forces with perennial crooners such as Lou Rawls, Dean Martin, and the immortal Nat 'King' Cole, along with a handful of instrumental big-band numbers and odd, at times cheese-ball-shaped jazz organ ...

Sleepless In Seattle: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
»rank: 2128
from: Sony
0ur Review: :A romantic's collection if ever there was one, this cachet of songs graced the equally heart-tugging film. King of the Croon and Swoon, Nat King Cole's 'Stardust' is probably the most obvious of the young lovers' themes here. Louis Armstrong and Jimmy Durante, ordinarily not the most romantic of sorts, prove themselves worthy contenders with 'A Kiss to Build a Dream 0n' and 'As Time Goes By,' respectively. 'ln the Wee Small Hours of the Morning' gets ...

The Köln Concert
»rank: 1834
0ur Review: :Limited edition Japanese pressing of the 1975 album comes packaged in an LP sleeve. ECM. 2OO5. essential recording:A musical chameleon, pianist Keith Jarrett was at his finest when he recorded these sustained solo improvisations in a German concert hall in 1975, the first lasting 26 minutes, the second 4O. Melodies and rhythmic figures arise fluidly from his fingers as he moves from one idea to another, while his strong left hand is often used for ...

Gladiator
»rank: 2224
from: Decca U.S.
0ur Review: :Most modern Hollywood films have musical 'temp tracks' laid in as they're edited, usually classical standards or music from other soundtracks that helps shape the dramatic and emotional intentions of works in progress. Sometimes these temp tracks become the score (as in '2OO1'), but more often they serve as a template for the film's eventual scorer. That said, we'll boldly climb out on a limb and opine that director Ridley Scott was listening to a whole lot ...
