A new album from Hindsight Records, Rosemary Clooney "Love and Learn", has been released. The latest project from the label’s Reimagined Series was produced by John F. Forbes and executive produced by Thomas Gramuglia.
“This album is the combination of Rosemary Clooney in her prime, Buddy Cole’s colorful keyboards and John Forbes’ orchestrations, which makes Love and Learn both an excellent introduction to her beautiful singing, and a welcome addition for her longtime fans,” expressed Scott Yanow.
“Rosemary Clooney has become one of my favorites of all of the singers that I’ve worked with in this series,” shared producer John F. Forbes. “She has a deep resonance in her voice that really touches my heart and for many other listeners. It is easy for me to feel an emotional connection to her with her voice. She has a beautiful tonality, her phrasing is wonderful, and everything that she sings is warm.” He continued and said, “My Dad was a big theater organ fan, as was I. Buddy Cole’s organ was going to be in the mix of these performances with Rosemary Clooney and, rather than fighting it, I embraced it and orchestrated around his sound. I considered this a bit of a balancing act for his trio, which was different than the usual piano trio, and led itself to more orchestration than on the other projects. I used a bassless chamber ensemble that included a few cellos, alto flute, oboe, piccolo, and every now and then, a trumpet. I also added vibes on a couple of songs, although most of the vibes one hears is due to the stops Cole used on the organ, which sound great.”
Session musician Buddy Cole played piano, celeste, harpsichord and organ. The Reimagined Series additional production was recorded, mixed and mastered by John Forbes at Forjam Studios.

Thank you for yet another treasure, Giullia.
ReplyDeleteThank you Copacetic47!
DeleteThis an album of old tunes recorded with Buddy Cole, but with new orchestral overdubs, done in the last year or so.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the originals (without the overdubs) are on a little-known 1994 collection titled "Everything's Rosie!" If you want this one for the blog, I'd be happy to donate it. I think it's a must-hear for Clooney fans.
Hey Days of the Broken Arrows, I want! Thank you!

Rosemary Clooney - Everything's Rosie! (1994)
This sixteen-song collection of rare Rosemary Clooney songs features nine unreleased tracks.
Seven are with Buddy Cole, with whom Clooney recorded the 1959 album "Swing Around Rosie." Since these tracks also date from 1959, they're probably session outtakes -- although the liner notes don't say.
The other two unreleased tracks were recorded in 1952 with the Earl Shelton Orchestra.
That leaves nine other songs on here. They'd already been released on the 1986 album "The Uncollected Rosemary Clooney," but since that collection isn't well-known, these songs will be new to most people.
The CD contains a lot of highlights. One of the best is Clooney's version of the Rodgers & Hart standard "Manhattan," where she adds just the right amount of earnestness to this ironic (and iconic) song.
Her take on "Witchcraft" contains some lyrics not features in the more famous version by Frank Sinatra. And even though most people are already very familiar with "Mountain Greenery," "But Not For Me," and "I Get A Kick Out Of You," it's definitely a kick to hear Clooney wrap her voice around these melodies.
The natural sound quality of this disc is also impressive. This CD was manufactured before producers starting pushing the "loudness" factor to the limit, so there is no "over-compression" or distorted sound. Because of that, Clooney is able to shine in all her vocal glory.
