Music reviews of How Sweet It Is! The Jackie Gleason Velvet Brass Collection
Music Review: Gleason's Best Music Recording
Rating: 5 Stars
I bought this CD almost 10 years ago and still enjoy it. Jackie selected some of his favorite big band hits and assembled a then modernized big band. Note the electric guitar in the mix. It adds a really warm sound. Plus, the drums are up front instead of pushed in the back as with older big band arrangements. The musicians are all hand picked by the Great One. Listen to this recording keeping in mind that this was all recorded live in a studio with no overdubbing.
The online clips don't do justice to how good this CD sounds. This CD reissue was created using the original 3 track stereo (left-center-right) master tape and it brings back the music in all it's glory.
This CD contains my favorite version of "Cherokee". It has a nice 1950's jazz feel with the big band sound. Superb!
I do, however, agree that the bonus tracks have no place on this CD. They don't have any musical connection what-so-ever with the original music tracks. At least they are easy enough to skip.
