Ultra-Lounge Vol. 5 • Wild, Cool & Swingin'



From Amazon:
One of the strongest volumes in the series, and a great introduction for the beginning lounge aficionado, this one includes all the '60s Vegas lounge royalty, and it swings right out of the galaxy!

Aside from a few tracks like "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" by a young Sammy Davis, Jr., the sultry "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" by Julie London, and the uber-classic "Fever" by Peggy Lee, this volume is commandingly owned by Louis Prima, Bobby Darin, and Dean Martin.

Prima checks in with mega-hit "Jump Jive an' Wail" (recently played to death when the Brian Setzer Orchestra covered it), but his best entry is the uproarious "Closer to the Bone," a cute song about the singer's love for skinny women. Each verse gets more sidesplitting than the last, and if that last one doesn't have tears of laughter rolling down your cheeks, you probably need to listen more closely! (And makes sure to listen for sax player Sam Butera sampling from Glenn Miller's "Pennsylvania 6-5000" at the start of his solo!)

Good ol' Dino is represented here with two of his greatest songs. Everybody loves the soaring "Volare." And the bottom line is, it just doesn't get any better than "Ain't That a Kick in the Head." Dean at his hard-swingin' best and Nelson Riddle's magnificent brassy arrangement made this the perfect tune to kick off the volume.

Bobby Darin wins hands down, with THREE entries. "Sunday in New York" is a beautiful song, capturing Darin's laid-back manner better than any other song I've heard. And light, cool, breezy "More" is just one of the greatest songs ever. (I fell in love with it years ago when I heard it on a car commercial.)

De Amazon:
Uno de los volúmenes más fuertes de la serie, y una gran introducción para el aficionado a las salas de estar principiante, este incluye toda la realeza de las salas de estar de las Vegas de los 60, y se mueve fuera de la galaxia!

Aparte de algunos temas como "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" de un joven Sammy Davis, Jr., el sensual "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" de Julie London, y el clásico "Fever" de Peggy Lee, este volumen es propiedad de Louis Prima, Bobby Darin, y Dean Martin.

Prima se registra con el mega-éxito "Jump Jive an' Wail" (recientemente tocado hasta la muerte cuando la Orquesta Brian Setzer lo cubrió), pero su mejor entrada es el escandaloso "Closer to the Bone", una linda canción sobre el amor del cantante por las mujeres flacas. Cada verso es más desviado que el anterior, y si ese último no tiene lágrimas de risa rodando por tus mejillas, ¡probablemente necesites escuchar más de cerca! (¡Y asegúrate de escuchar al saxofonista Sam Butera sampleando "Pennsylvania 6-5000" de Glenn Miller al comienzo de su solo!)

El bueno de Dino está representado aquí con dos de sus mejores canciones. A todo el mundo le encanta el altísimo "Volare". Y la conclusión es que no hay nada mejor que "Ain't That a Kick in the Head". Dean en su mejor momento y el magnífico arreglo de Nelson Riddle hicieron de ésta la melodía perfecta para iniciar el volumen.

Bobby Darin gana sin duda alguna, con TRES entradas. "Sunday in New York" es una hermosa canción, que capta la manera relajada de Darin mejor que cualquier otra canción que haya escuchado. Y "More", ligera, fresca y alegre, es una de las mejores canciones de la historia. (Me enamoré de ella hace años cuando la escuché en un anuncio de coches.)
