Music reviews of Swingin' With Bing: Bing Crosby's Lost Radio Performances
Music Review: "Bing's radio shows are impressive from the '40s & '50s"
Rating: 5 Stars
Shout Factory people and Sony Music presents "Swingin' with Bing: Bing Crosby's Lost Radio Performances", perfectly re-mastered from the vaults original recordings that have the who's who in the Music Department during those Golden Days of Crosby on the airwaves...Ken Barnes did a bang up job producing and writing the informative liner notes...each track has never seen the light of day on any other label.
Besides Bing we have Buddy Cole (piano), Ziggy Elman (trumpet), Red Nichols (cornet), Les Paul (guitar), Uan Rasey (trumpet), Billy Taylor (trombone) and Joe Venuti (violin), John Scott Trotter & His Orchestra...this is just the tip of the iceberg...many were great friends of Bing and it shows during those radio years.
On the first disc...we have one of the great jazz trios in the business Nat King Cole performing with Bing "SAM'S SONG (THE HAPPY TUNE)", big hit for Bing and his son Gary, but listen to this classic performance by Nat and Bing..."DON'T FENCE ME IN", "YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW THE LANGUAGE", "SOUTH AMERICA, TAKE IT AWAY" and "I CAN DREAM, CAN'T I?, three young ladies who set the bar for female trios The Andrew Sisters...doesn't get any better than singing with Patty, LaVerne and Maxine with our favorite crooner...but the closing song on this disc "MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU", featuring Bing, Nat and the Andrew Sisters with lyrics that completely touches your heart...entire collection is the music my parents heard when they were young...this is not only what was known as Pop Music of the day, but also some classic Jazz, Boogie Woogie and Swing thrown in for good measure.
The second disc...Bing meets Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong (just happen to be my two favorite duet people on the planet)..."BASIN STREET BLUES", "DREAMER'S HOLIDAY", "THAT'S A PLENTY", "SILVER BELLS" (version 1) and "MEMPHIS BLUES" (version 1), featuring the "First Lady of Song" Miss Ella Fitzgerald at her peak and in her prime..."BLUEBERRY HILL" (version 1 & 2), "GONE FISHIN" (version 1), "LAZY BONES" (version 1), "A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON" (version 1)...listen as Satchmo affectionately calls our crooner "Papa Bing" whenever they are performing...beautifully sung harmonies plus impassioned solo performances which are unequaled in all of music radio history...as Bing and his guests are at the top of their form...Bing meets Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Dinah Shore, Jack Teagarden and Red Nichols celebrating the highlights of Bing's 20th Anniversary...Crosby was an institution of entertainment during the WWII era and the years there after...this compilation stands up so well today as it did decades ago.
On the final disc three...features Bing, Ella, Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, Les Paul and The Mills Brothers...a few highlights "UP A LAZY RIVER/PAPER DOLL", with the Mills Brothers and Bing..."ISTANBUL", wonderful duet with Ella & Bing back in December 1953, catchy arrangement and classic performance..."SILVER BELLS", "RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER", "WHITE CHRISTMAS" and "MEMPHIS BLUES", touching tunes that are still around today...sung from the heart the way songs were performed back in the '40s and '50s...a solo piece of music "BLUE SKIES", with a beautiful rendition accompanied by Les Paul on guitar from Dec. 27, 1953...and another great American Standard "IT HAD TO BE YOU", step aside Harry Connick Jr. and Rod Stewart, Papa Bing is taking the stage and crooning this popular tune with the help of Red Nichols on cornet from Feb. 13, 1952...just the way we like 'em!
Hats off to Ken Barnes (compiled & producer), Kathryn Crosby (executive producer), Shawn Amos (A&R direction), Peter Reynolds (digital transfer, audio restoration and mastering), Shout Factory, Sony Music and of course the best crooner of them all...BING CROSBY!

Description of Swingin' With Bing: Bing Crosby's Lost Radio Performances
Bing Crosby was without doubt the most popular and influential media star of the first half of the 20th century. He was the best-selling singer until the rise of Elvis, the biggest movie star of the ?40s, and, as host of a long-running radio show, the most popular radio star of all time. For the first time ever, Shout! Factory is proud to present the very best of his radio performances, remastered from transcription discs recorded and broadcast from 1942 to 1954. Bing?s charming banter and relaxed live performances serve to remind us of his warmth and superior artistry, and guest stars such as Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nat "King" Cole, Dinah Shore, The Mills Brothers, and The Andrews Sisters provide more than fitting accompaniment.DISC ONE: BING MEETS NAT KING COLE & THE ANDREWS SISTERS With Jud Conlon?s Rhythmaires and John Scott Trotter & His Orchestra
