The Lady’s in Love With You: Maxine Sullivan Sings the Music of Burton Lane
One of America’s greatest jazz singers on one of her finest albums, Maxine Sullivan wows audiences with her 1985 album. When this disc was first released in 1985, critics raved. John S. Wilson wrote in The New York Times, “Her swinging sense glows and sparkles.” Margo Jefferson reported in Vogue, “What a pleasure this record is! The lady is a champ.” And Joel E. Siegel noted in Jazztimes, “Burton Lane clearly belongs in the august company of Gershwin, Arlen and Berlin.” Lane himself wrote to Sullivan: “Poor you! I’m sorry you’re not me, for you will never know…what it is like to be the composer of these songs and have a singer as wonderful as you to sing them. You’re really something special!”
Together: Maxine Sullivan Sings the Music of Julie Styne
In late 1985, John S. Wilson noted in The New York Times that, at 74, Maxine was developing a new “vocal and emotional openness.” That attitude led to her adventuresome eagerness to tackle songs unlike any in her repertoire. Together is Sullivan's final studio work opens with "Sunday" and closes with "Together Wherever We Go."
The Great Songs From the Cotton Club by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler
Nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Vocalist and winner of the NAIRD award in the same category, the album features many previously unrecorded songs by the famous songwriting team of Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler. In addition to the first-time recordings, Sullivan interprets such standards as “Stormy Weather” and “Buds Won’t Bud” with her patented gently swinging style.
