Recording information: Capitol Studios, New York, New York; Capitol Studios, Los Angeles, California (1959 - 1969). Arranger: Billy May. One of three excellent Nancy Wilson compilations issued simultaneously by Capitol Jazz in 2005, THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK cherry-picks from the many standards that the pop/jazz vocalist recorded for the label between 1959 and '69. Here the often-underrated singer, who delicately balances emotion and clear enunciation, works with ensembles both large and small, and her various collaborators include conductor Billy May, saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, bassist Ron Carter, and pianists George Shearing, Hank Jones, and Joe Zawinul. Just a few highlights of this collection are a rollicking big-band rendition of "What a Little Moonlight Can Do," a sauntering take on the Harold Arlen/Truman Capote-penned "Sleepin' Bee," and a gorgeously minimal version of "In a Sentimental Mood," which showcases Wilson's mellifluous voice. Although Wilson truly shines in a small-group setting, she can capably front an orchestra, as revealed on "It Never Entered My Mind" and other numbers. With 44 tracks that boast beautifully remastered sound, this well-compiled two-disc set should help to deservedly raise Wilson's profile.   Compilation Appearances Jazzy Wonderland 1291 Capitol Sings George Gershwin Capitol Sings Irving Berlin Capitol Sings Best Movie Songs Vol. 1-Sweet & Lovely Capitol Sings Cole Porter Yellow Album Color & Light-Jazz Sketches On Vol. 1-Christmas Cocktails Vol. 15-Wild Cool & Swingin' T Forever More-Best Of James Ing Almost Famous What Women Want Goin' Home Vanilla Sky Scores Capitol Records: 1942-2002 (Deluxe Edition) (w/ Book) (Limited Edition) Definitive Lady Sings The Blues Simple Pleasures Definitive American Songbook Vol.2 Tunesmith The Songs Of Jimmy Webb Nea Jazz Masters Tourch Songs Cocktails With Cole Porter Lady Sings The Blues 2 Today's Christmas Ultimate Christmas Cocktails Christmas Classics Love Songs Misty Blue Vol 11:vintage Christmas Christmas Cocktails Part 3 Jazz Vocalists: Hear & Now Hope & Glory Jazz Divas Gold Cannon Re Loaded:all Star Celebration Music To Make The Impossible Possible Beautiful Wedding:jazz For The Weddin Lift Every Voice Honoring The African More To Say Honey Wine:another Gerry Goffin C   Associated Artists and Works Cole, Nat Cole, Nat Cole, Nat Cole, Nat Cole, Nat "King" Cole, Nat "King" Cole, Nat "King" Cole, Nat "King" Lewis, Ramsey Lewis, Ramsey Simple Pleasures ~ Lewis, Ramsey Lewis, Ramsey Lewis, Ramsey Ramsey Lewis & Nancy Wilson Simple Pleasures ~ Ramsey Lewis & Nancy Wilson Ramsey Lewis & Nancy Wilson Ramsey Lewis & Nancy Wilson   Technical Info Release Date : 08/30/2005 Original Release Date : 2005 Catalog ID : 77562 Label : Capitol Jazz Number of Discs : 2 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00724347756221    Related Videos Randy Jackson: Randy Jack...
