| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Liner Note Author: James Ritz. | | Break out your finest threads and your lucky dice. HIGH ROLLERS FROM LAS VEGAS takes listeners right down the Strip, offering up a classic soundtrack to the sparkling glamour of the city that once boasted artist-in-resident heavy hitters like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Louis Prima, and Judy Garland. HIGH ROLLERS is part of the Las Vegas Centennial Collection, a series of discs celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the city and its long, well-known musical legacy. | | There are songs that give an overt nod to Las Vegas's playtime occupations, including Sammy Davis Jr.'s "Luck Be a Lady," Judy Garland's "Lucky Day," Peggy Lee's "Big Spender," and Sam Butera & the Witnesses' "Seven Out." For the most part, the album is a showcase for jazz vocals, with swinging big-band backing through and through. There are plenty of contributions from the ubiquitous Rat Pack, and memorable tracks like the Tony Bennett/Count Basie collaboration "Are You Havin' Any Fun?," two delightful Louis Prima and Keely Smith duets, and Nancy Wilson's alluring version of "The Best Is Yet to Come." A charming, energetic collection, HIGH ROLLERS is possibly even better than standing at a craps table at the Sands with a big stack of chips. |
