Further Details Title: The Velvet Lounge - Personalities Condition: New Format: CD Description: EDITORIAL REVIEWS The Velvet Lounge is a remarkable series of re-releases dedicated to music that is always elegant and entertaining - and sometimes even exotic. The series is a comfortable and welcoming home for treasures from the fabulous Fifties and the strange Sixties. It is a mark of quality placed on music weve rediscovered from long ago and far away, from a time and place between Rock and Beat ecstasy and psychedelic populism. This newest addition to the BEAR FAMILY contains music that comes straight from the archives of both large and small record companies, and is re-mastered to BEAR FAMILYs excellent quality, normally as a direct digitalization of a master-tape but always with the best possible sound. What you hear is what you get, and the listener is tempted in by this music, asked to relax and savor the music, while maybe putting up their feet and slowly stirring a long drink. And who you hear is important; the artists names alone make for a formidable series. On the album Personalities trumpeter Al 'Jumbo' Hirt dedicates himself to a sort of 'symbolization in sound' of sex-bomb Ann-Margret, some twenty years his junior, on songs like My Baby Just Cares For Me or Baby, Its Cold Outside. Despite numerical evidence to the contrary, 'jazz' was not a four letter word back then, and even 'entertainment' did not smell funny, yet. The motto was anything goes rather than is that allowed? This artistic free-for-all and high quality craftsmanship produced songs that had every right to be called 'standards'. Because the Velvet Lounge series comes under the BEAR FAMILY banner, it is a given that the graphic design is perfectly fitting and fittingly perfect, featuring rare original photographs, exact discographies, and extensive liner notes. Everything about this series has a touch of exuberance and luxury. Everyone from the collecting specialist to the cultural crusader can feel most welcome and at home in this Velvet Lounge.
