Rosemary Clooney Woody Herman - My Buddy

Review by Brian Taylor

The collaborative album, My Buddy, by Rosemary Clooney and Woody Herman, is a nostalgic and heartwarming tribute to the music of the 1930s and 1940s. The album features a collection of classic jazz standards, including "Stompin' at the Savoy," "I Can't Get Started," and "Don't Be That Way," all of which are performed with a delightful and effortless charm.

Clooney's smooth and sultry vocals are perfectly complemented by Herman's swinging arrangements, creating a cohesive and enjoyable listening experience. The chemistry between the two artists is evident throughout the album, as they effortlessly trade off solos and harmonize on the more tender ballads.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "My Buddy," a sentimental ode to a dear friend. Clooney's tender vocals and Herman's emotive saxophone solo perfectly capture the bittersweet emotions of the song. The album also features a lively rendition of "Sing, Sing, Sing," which showcases Herman's band at their most energetic and dynamic.

Summary by Brian Taylor

My Buddy is a delightful and charming album that will transport listeners back to a bygone era of jazz music. Clooney and Herman's effortless chemistry and timeless interpretations of classic jazz standards make this album a must-listen for any fan of the genre.
