CD Reviews

Fine album of Judy Garland hits from her television show
Matthew G. Sherwin | last seen screaming at Amazon customer service | 01/17/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD gives us an excellent, generous assortment of great songs by the immortal Judy Garland. Judy performed these numbers on her weekly television show in the early 1960s. Judy never sounded better and her rapport with her audience is excellent.



"I Feel A Song Comin' On" features Judy's vocals squarely in the spotlight with a great band to support her; I like the arrangement for the brass and Judy belts this one out to perfection! "Judy's Olio" is another coup; she sings this medley with all her might and her voice conveys all the subtle nuances of each emotion in every word.



Listen also for "Smile," Charlie Chaplin would have been proud to hear Judy sing this one. (Chaplin co-wrote "Smile.") Judy sings this without a superfluous note and it really moves me to hear it. "On The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe" features Judy singing with a backup group that harmonizes flawlessly and Judy delivers this like the pro that she still remains.



"Swanee" has Judy singing this marvelously with great accompaniment by the orchestra; the brass and the drums really help to make this a hit straight out of the ballpark! Judy handles the tempo changes and the subtle key changes very well.



"The Man That Got Away" was one of Judy's signature songs; and this album certainly has a great interpretation of it as Judy sings this so passionately with all her heart and soul. Excellent! "I'm Nobody's Baby" features a great flute arrangement and Judy's voice sounds as clear as a bell--awesome! Judy's excellent diction bolsters her performance quite a bit.



The album ends beautifully with a huge hit for Judy, "Over The Rainbow." Judy sings this so well you're convinced the song belongs to her and her alone. The flute is great and Judy never misses a beat. "Over The Rainbow" is truly a masterpiece in Judy's capable hands.



The cover art is excellent; Judy's fans will easily recognize that dress she's wearing!



Overall, Judy Garland fans really must get this album for their collections. This album displays Judy's superlative vocal abilities; it's a pleasure and a thrill to enjoy.

Bravo to Savoy Jazz

"Savoy Jazz should be highly praised for this excellent Judy Garland disc.Fans and newcommers are equally served with this fine release. The remastering is superb considering the mono 1960's television source material.This program finds Judy at the height of her powers vocally.

Her definitive version of "Smile" included here is worth the price of this cd alone."
Nice companion to Carnegie Hall

"Once again, Savoy Jazz is putting out a nice CD of songs taken from the masters of "The Judy Garland Show." There are funny bits of Judy intro-ing the songs and it's a nice selection of material that's not overly duplicative of Carnegie Hall. It's great to finally have this material in an accessible format for listening. One can only imagine how badly the management at CBS handled the show for its one year run."
