Lee Wiley - As Time Goes By

From Album: "Lee Wiley ~ As Time Goes By"

Lee Wiley (October 9, 1908 – December 11, 1975) was an American jazz singer popular in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. She possessed an attractive, slightly husky tone and delivered lyrics with warmth and intimacy.

Wiley was born in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. While still in her early teens, Wiley left home to begin a career singing with the Leo Reisman band. Her career was temporarily interrupted by a fall while horse-riding and she suffered temporary blindness, but she recovered and at the age of 19 was back with Reisman again (recording only 3 songs with Reisman, "Take It From Me", "Time On My Hands" and her own composition, "Got The South In My Soul"). She also sang with Paul Whiteman and later, the Casa Loma Orchestra. A collaboration with composer Victor Young resulted in several songs for which Wiley wrote the lyrics, including "Got The South In My Soul" and "Anytime, Anyday, Anywhere", the latter becoming an R&B hit in the 1950s.

Jan Johansson - As Time Goes By

From Album: "Jan Johansson ~ Spelar Musik Pa Sitt Eget Vis [1964]"

Founded in Sweden in 1994 by Jan Johansson's sons Anders and Jens, Heptagon Records has reissued much of the late Swedish pianist's 1950s and 1960s output on CD. Spelar Musik pa Sitt Eget Vis is a generous 77-minute CD that focuses largely on orchestral jazz that he recorded from 1964-1966. Many of these recordings are classically influenced and inspire comparisons to the third stream experiments of Gunther Schuller as well as the orchestral music that Gil Evans recorded with Miles Davis in the late 1950s, but such comparisons shouldn't obscure the fact that Johansson was quite original himself. One of the things that made him unusual was his ability to place Scandinavian folk songs in a jazz setting, and this collection finds him turning his attention to traditional Scandinavian melodies like "Kung Erik Leker pa Luta" and "Varfor Skola Manskor Strida," as well as American standards such as "Lover Man" and "As Time Goes By." Several of the selections aren't orchestral, but are small-group and solo performances that feature Johansson on the organ instead of his usual piano. Although this enriching music hasn't been reissued by an American label, Spelar Musik Na Sitt Eget Vis made it to American stores as an import and is well worth searching for. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

From Album: "Yuri ~ Las Numero 1"

Often called "The Mexican Madonna," Latin pop singer Yuri was born Yuridia Valenzuela Canseco in Veracruz on January 6, 1964; a musical prodigy, at age nine she was offered a scholarship to study dance with the Bolshoi Ballet -- she declined -- and as a teen fronted the group Yuri and the Electric Apple. After relocating to Mexico City in 1978, she cut her debut single, a Spanish-language rendition of "You Light Up My Life," (which translated as "Tu Iluminas Mi Vida") and also doubled as the title of her first LP. A co-starring role in the film Milagro en el Circo followed before Yuri scored a hit with the title track of her 1980 sophomore LP, Esperanza; Llena de Dulzura followed a year later, becoming the first record by a female Latin American singer to earn a gold record in Spain. The single "Maldita Primavera" made Yuri an international sensation, selling over a million copies worldwide; another smash, "El Pequeño Panda de Chapultepec," soon followed. … Read more…

Mina - As Time Goes By

From Album: "Mina ~ Uiallalla Vol. 1/2"

Mina Anna Mazzini OMRI (born Anna Maria Mazzini, 25 March 1940, in Busto Arzisio), known as Mina, is an Italian pop singer. For the great extension and agility of her soprano voice and her image as an emancipated lady, she was a staple of the Italian television variety shows and a dominant figure on the Italian charts in the 1960s and 1970s. During the performances, Mina combined several modern styles with the traditional Italian melody making her the most versatile pop singer in Italian music.

Mina's TV appearances in 1959 presented the first female rocker in Italy. Her loud syncopated singing earned her the nickname "Queen of Screamers". For her wild gestures and body shakes, the publicity labeled her the "Tiger of Cremona". Having turned to light pop tunes, Mina's chart-toppers in West Germany and Japan in 1962–1964 earned her the title of best international artist in those countries. Originally in a surf rock style, her song "Renato" is now a pop standard in Estonia. Mina's more refined sensual manner was introduced in 1960 with Gino Paoli's ballad "Il cielo in una stanza", which charted in the Billboard Hot 100. …Read more…

Marian McPartland & Carmen McRae - As Time Goes By [Jazz Piano Duet]

Marian McPartland & Carmen McRae - As Time Goes By (Jazz Piano)

From Album: "Marian Mcpartland's Piano Jazz - Carmen McRae"

Carmen McRae was a guest on Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz in 1985 and ended up being one of the most memorable singers to appear on the series.

Margaret Marian McPartland (née Turner; born March 21, 1918) (some sources give March 20, 1920), is an English Jazz pianist, composer, writer, and the host of Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz on National Public Radio.

Marian McPartland has become famous for hosting her Piano Jazz radio program since 1978, but she was a well-respected pianist decades before. She played in a four-piano vaudeville act in England and performed on the European continent for the troops during World War II. In Belgium in 1944, she met cornetist Jimmy McPartland and they soon married. Marian moved with her husband to the United States in 1946, where she sometimes played with him even though her style was more modern than his Dixieland-oriented groups. McPartland eventually had her own trio at the Embers (1950) and the Hickory House (1952-1960), which until 1957 included drummer Joe Morello. She recorded regularly for Savoy and Capitol during the 1950s and also made sessions for Argo (1958), Time (1960 and 1963), Sesac, and Dot. Although eventually divorced from Jimmy, they remained close friends, sometimes played together, and even remarried just weeks before his death. She formed her own Halycon label and recorded several fine albums between 1969-1977. McPartland also made three albums for Tony Bennett's Improv label during 1976-1977 before signing with Concord, where she has been since 1978. The Jazz Alliance label has made available over 30 CD's worth of material from Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz show, some of which are quite fascinating and significant. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
