Midnight Vocals: 1950s Jazz Singers & Combos

Who is this collection for?

Perfect for a vocal-jazz and mid-century pop collector who's also happy with a solid handful of genuine combo/bebop jazz mixed in — less ideal for a buyer wanting only hard jazz or only mood/instrumental music.

Collection Overview

A dense set of mid-century vocal jazz and small-group jazz (Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Billy Eckstine, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, Shelly Manne, Erroll Garner, Jonah Jones), rounded out by a few lighter easy-listening/organ-and-piano mood records (Earl Grant, Eddie Layton, Jan August, Ray Conniff).
