Nelson Riddle's Bass Trombone

I had a 331/3 record of this CD while attending college back in 1962. I was surprised when this CD came up with the same tunes. One of my best CDs. I play it several times a day. It gives my 82 year heart a lift for daily life. Thanks again.

A Game of Poker

Even with the title notwithstanding, the second half of the CD definitely has a "Vegas" feel to it--that is, Vegas in its vintage, "Rat Pack" years. You can't listen without thinking you're there in that time and place. If I were to drive along the Strip at night, THIS would be on the car CD player. To borrow the title of one of the songs, Mr. Riddle had "Finesse" to create this effect on the ears. Enjoy!

I had this Cd for quite awhile and some how it got lost. I spent several hours looking for it but could not find it. Since it is out of print none of the retial stores in my area had it. So to Amazon I went. Yes it was a little pricey but it is more than worth it. The Cd is truly a joy. Every cut is a treat. ENJOY!

I don't know if this is Riddle's best; I like so very much of his work. This one is definitely near the top. I just got this one in the mail, and I know already it's not a CD I'll ever get tired of. It's so beautiful. Good investment for a pick me up on a rainy day.

Nelson Riddle's "Joy of Living"

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2012

Verified Purchase

One of the most outstanding compose/arrangers ever, mostly with his work with Frank Sinatra, but also with Linda Ronstadt. "The Joy Of Living" was a tribute to his TV commercial for Schlitz beer in the 60's or 70's, but each cut is excellent.

I am only reviewing The Joy Of Living. This a smooth yet swinging session. Nelson wisely features George Roberts,and Cappy Lewis and some delightful arangements. This truly is a joyful outing.

ネルソンリドルのイメージが変わりました！

Reviewed in Japan on April 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

私はイージーリスニング、ムードミュージックをメインにCD500枚以上集めてるマニアですが、正直ネルソンリドルは地味なイメージしかありませんでした。
このCDを買ったのも私の前にレビューを書いた方の内容があまりにも素晴らしいのにひかれたからです
このアルバムの13曲から24曲までがとにかく素晴らしい！
23曲目など何十回もリピートして聞いてるありさまです。
雰囲気がとにかく今までに聞いたことないです

が近い雰囲気かなと思いましたが、それを遥かに上回る華やかさとエネルギーがあります
私はしっとりしたピアノストリングス系が好みですが、このアルバムは自分の好みとはガラリと違いとても明るく元気になるので、一変にお気に入りになりました
