Classic Albums at eMusic

I made some great finds at eMusic the other day.

First of all, some of the very coolest Tony Bennett music of all time is available on Tony Bennett with Count Basie and his Orchestra. These ten songs are the best of those originally released on 1958's Basie Swings, Bennett Sings. It includes one of my favorites, With Plenty of Money and You. You may have heard that one on the soundtrack to Swingers.

Among the other great tracks are Jeepers Creepers, Are You Havin' Any Fun, Chicago and the Cole Porter classic Anything Goes.

In addition to that fine album, I also found an extensive collection from the undisputed master of the Hammond B3, Joey Defrancesco.

My pal, Joe Placido, first put me hip to Joey years ago and the single album I had (The Philadelphia Connection) has brought many hours of listening pleasure, so I was absolutely delighted to find no less than 15 of his albums on eMusic. I immediately snapped up four of the albums, including Joey Defrancesco Plays Sinatra His Way, which will be featured on the next Frank Truth - Frank Sinatra Podcast.

As mentioned many times on the show, I've found eMusic to be a fabulous way to build my library of Jazz, Swing and the Classics at the best prices anywhere. Regardless of your preferred style of music, there are over 3.5 million tracks available from all genres, and the catalog is growing every day.

My guess is that you'll be knocked out by the selection, the quality of the tracks, the ease of use and the cost.
