Ladies Of Jazz: Remixed

Ladies Of Jazz: Remixed

Ladies Of Jazz: Remixed (2004)
Jazz, Vocal | MP3 192 Kbps | 68 Mb

James Hardway adds some drums that go splat and sliding upright bass to some old public domain recordings the Cleopatra label hands him and the results are fair. Hardway doesn't seem very inspired throughout the album, but he's got studio chops and his remixing is serviceable. Marilyn Monroe's sexy birthday serenade to JFK gets chopped up and a scratching, turntable workout, Billie Holiday goes through a filter, and Dinah Shore gets oddball pings and pongs behind her giddy voice.

Tracks:
1. Billie Holiday - I Cover The Waterfront (4:27)
2. Marilyn Monroe - She Acts Like A Woman Should (3:54)
3. Dinah Shore - 'murder' He Says (6:07)
4. Lena Horne - Coax Me A Little Bit (4:23)
5. Billie Holiday - Don't Explain (3:13)
6. Lena Horne - Where Is Love (3:24)
7. Billie Holiday - God Bless The Child (4:02)
8. Marilyn Monroe - Happy Birthday (3:12)
9. Ella Fitzgerald - A-Tisket A-Tasket (4:19)
10. Billie Holiday - Loverman (2:38)
11. Lena Horne - Haunted Town (4:50)
12. Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit (4:20)
