Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Nat King Cole's death in 1965, this compilation is the CD companion of an excellent DVD/documentary. Produced with the blessing of his estate, this disc is a thorough survey of his timeless genius--all recorded on the Capitol label. It captures his sumptuous and soothing tenor voice crooning on the pop tunes he made famous, like the ethereal "Nature Boy," the melancholy "Mona Lisa," and the bouncy "Straighten Up and Fly Right," and "Route 66." It also features Cole's often-overlooked skills as an Earl Hines-style pianist. "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps)," and "Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup," attest to his international appeal, and see if you can keep a dry eye when you listen to Natalie Cole's posthumous, digitally-enhanced duet with her father on "Unforgettable." From strings to big bands, Nat King Cole is never out of style. <I>--Eugene Holley, Jr.

Based on the #1 NY Times bestseller by Nicholas Sparks, "Nights In Rodanthe" follows a woman (Diane Lane) with her life in chaos as she retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe to tend a friend's inn for the weekend. The only guest at the inn (Richard Gere) arrives with a storm closing in on the town. The two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance. The soundtrack features "In Rodanthe" written and performed by Emmylou Harris, along with heartwarming songs in the style of Piedmont Blues by such artists as Count Basie, Ruth Brown, Slim & Slam, Dinah Washington, and more.

2007 four CD box set. Virtually every R&B record made in New Orleans between the late '40s and early '70s was engineered by Cosimo Matassa and recorded in one of his four studios. Cosimo placed New Orleans on the musical map recording hits for Little Richard, Fats Domino, Lloyd Price and many more. This is a monster of a set with 120 vital tracks, all the hits plus much more. Includes a 40 page book with session detail, rare pictures etc. Features cuts from Smiley Lewis, Dave Bartholomew, Shirley & Lee, T-Bone Walker, Lowell Fulson, Guitar Slim, Professor Longhair and many more. Proper.

The back of this two-CD set may say "File under <I>Lounge," but frankly, lounging will be the very last thing on your mind once you put Louis and Keely on. It's simply impossible to stand still while the duo, backed by Sam Butera and the Witnesses, gets going. When Keely sings "Hey boy, I can really cook," there's a tiny chance she's talking about something that takes place in the kitchen, but the galloping bass line behind her says that she really belongs to the dance floor. Whoo-hee! Cole Porter's "Just One of Those Things" is taken at a frenetic pace--do these people ever pause to breathe? The bulk of this collection was recorded between 1957 and 1962, and it makes for an explosive document of a now-gone era when men in sharp suits hung out at the Copa, babes with pointy rocket-launcher breasts at their arms. The sheer effortlessness of it all is still supremely exciting. <I>--Elisabeth Vincentelli
