Our Take

Julie London's collection of Five Classic Albums is like a musical time machine that takes you back to a smoky jazz club in the heart of the 1950s. London's seductive voice is the main attraction here, effortlessly weaving her way through classics like "Cry Me a River" and "Blue Moon."

Each album in this set showcases London's versatility as a singer, from sultry ballads to swinging up-tempo numbers. Her smooth, velvety vocals are perfectly complemented by the lush arrangements, making for an intoxicating listening experience.

Standout tracks include the haunting "Black Coffee," where London's voice drips with longing, and the playful "Misty," which showcases her impeccable phrasing.

The production on these albums is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix. The inspired collaborations with musicians like Barney Kessel and Bud Shank only add to the magic of these recordings.

While some may find London's style a bit dated, there's no denying the timeless appeal of her music. Five Classic Albums is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast looking to dive into the golden age of vocal jazz. So sit back, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let Julie London's smoky croon transport you to a bygone era of cool sophistication. Cheers!
