Customer Reviews:
Two sides of James.......2004-02-05
Unlike the other reviewer of this cd, I enjoy the softer side of James. Sure they are standards, but the mood is very relaxed and it DOES NOT place the James band in the easy listening category. There are many improvised moments during the solo spots. I would agree that if both of the live albums were put together, it would have made for a more logical music flow. Maybe time restrictions could not allow both of the live performances to be placed to together. Sonically, the studio performance is much better than the live one. The live recording sounds curiously dated. Not bad, but it certainly can be much better. Considering that the studio album is older by a few months and is sonically superior. The live album also contains a disppointing version of Ultra. This older version is in no way competitive to the updated arrangemet Harry would record for MGM. This version is available on a Verve cd titled, Harry James - The Silver Collection. That version, also live, is far superior to this slower version. This version lacks the energy and excitement that James had in his newer version. Sonically, it is superior too. It is in stereo with nice clean highs and full bass. Still, this is a good cd if you are a James fan.
The Two Sides of Harry James.......2002-12-24
Harry's Columbia studio recordings of the early fifties were no doubt influenced (victimized might be more appropriate) by the dominating presence of Columbia A&R man Mitch Miller -- the "sing-along" guru who almost ruined Frank Sinatra's recording career, was responsible for much of the cornball schlock that filled the radio airwaves at the time, and who, as a consequence (in my estimation), probably did more to promote the rise of rock and roll than any other single individual. In "Soft Lights", we are (no doubt at the behest if not the insistence of Miller) presented with a liberal dose of the schmaltzy ballad style for which Harry James would forever be scorned by jazz critics. Contrast this with "One Night Stand", an exciting live performance that illustrates the true dynamism that was Harry James and his band. Just listen to the fire and passion of the James horn in "Feet Draggin Blues". Or the warm, passionate (no schmaltz here) "You Go To My Head". Or Harry (on bongos, no less) in "Mam Bongo". For a change of pace, dig the brilliant accordion solo in "Flight of the Bumblebee" (Lawrence Welk need not apply). Great stuff. Alas, this CD rates no more than three stars due to the inclusion of "Soft Lights Sweet Trumpet". Had it instead been coupled with "Live At Hollywood Palladium" (another exciting live performance available on another CD that is also sadly coupled with a schlock studio session), it would have rated 10 stars!!!

Customer Reviews:
"early beginnings from the vaults ~ Percy Faith".......2005-02-15
Living Era presents "Delicado", fifty original mono recordings from 1944 to 1955 featuring Maestro Percy Faith who was churning out some of the best releases with top notch arrangements...each song had an upbeat and faraway tone to it...beautiful ballads from composers Harold Arlen, Waldir Azevedo, Irving Berlin, Nacio Herb Brown, Hoagy Carmichael, Zez Confrey, Peter De Rose, Jimmy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Rafael Hernandez, Johnny Green, Jerome Kern, Frank Loesser, Cole Porter, Arthur Schwartz ...beautifully recorded representing Faith's limitless talent at crafting musical arrangements to fit an evolving music scene.
Now for the real treat...songs composed by Percy Faith with his unmistakable arranging "NOCHE CARIBE " (Caribbean Night), recorded in New York 1947..."DA DU", with Ray Charles Singers recorded 3/04/1952..."FIDDLE DERBY", recorded in New York 1951..."FLIGHT 33 1/3", after Rimsky-Korsakov: Flight of the Bumble-Bee, recorded New York 5/11/1950..."NERVOUS GAVOTTE", with Lou Stein on piano recorded New York 5/22/1951..."PERPETUAL NOTION", recorded New York 6/02/1949...Percy's arrangements comes from the heart and weaving a magic spell over the listener...compilation goodies on two compact discs for all the Faith Fans!
Sweeping and gliding strings, beautiful renditions of all time favorite Faith arrangements, such a statement of string counter melodies within the orchestration...many were favorites of my parents when they were dating...these songs represent some of the best arrangements in my Faith collection...when you put this collection on, you're in for a magic carpet ride sprinkled with the "Percy Faith Touch"...every arrangement has the signature of his pen and baton, two totally different tempos and rhythms surface within the boundaries of his genius...no doubt he was a master at his craft, they'll never be another like 'em, they only pass this way once...thank you Living Era for sharing these rare gems with the fans that encountered Maestro Percy Faith!
