Description
Following on from Jasmine Record's previous Billy Eckstine release, 'All of My Life' comes 'The Mellow Mr. B' - this sublime set contains no less than four original albums from 1957-1961 and as with its predecessor is another superb selection from the master of the smooth baritone.
It features the albums: 'Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan Sing the Best of Irving Berlin'; 'Billy Eckstine's Imagination'; 'Once More with Feeling' and 'Billy Eckstine and Quincy Jones at Basin Street East'.
Contained herein is a wonderful mix of vocalists and jazz luminaries in the form of Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington and Quincy Jones. Under the direction of Pete Rugolo with arrangements by Billy May, the album 'Once More with Feeling' is perhaps the highlight and is simply put, a perfect collection of standards and is a must for fans of this genre.
