Carly's' Serenade'a misstep in moonlight - Entertainment - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper Perry's rich orchestration of the album's opener, "Moonlight Serenade," perfectly captures the essence of the big-band era, but when Miss Simon comes in, it's like your cousin Maude performing karaoke -- albeit with spectacular instrumentation -- at the family reunion. With "Moonlight Serenade," her first release of new material in nearly five years, Carly Simon revisits two earlier projects (1981's "Torch" and 1990's "My Romance") that found the introspective pop/rock songstress covering familiar standards. "Serenade's" most positive aspects are the 11 lush arrangements, complete with synthesized strings, by producer Richard Perry (who found earlier success with Miss Simon on her 1972 masterpiece, "No Secrets"), Mike Thompson and Lauren Wild that, unfortunately, overpower the star. www.washtimes.com /entertainment/20050718-101339-8270r.htm   (485 words)

FLIRTING WITH TWILIGHT was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album.

The Amherst Student Online “Love and Theft” is by no means a perfect album—some of the tunes, such as “Moonlight” and “Bye and Bye,” are somewhat slight and uninspired—but it continues the creative rejuvenation that began with “Time Out of Mind.” However, the question arises of how this album will be received by Dylan fans. In the gorgeous closer, “Sugar Baby,” the narrator cannot stand facing the sun to serenade the woman he loves for “the light is too intense,” paralleling the fact that she refuses to allow the light of his love in. Adding to the surprises offered by this album is the fact that “Love and Theft,” unlike so many previous works, cannot really be said to have a single unifying theme, musically or lyrically. halogen.note.amherst.edu /~astudent/2001-2002/issue05/arts/01.html   (598 words)

Amazon.ca: How Sweet It Is! The Jackie Gleason Velvet Brass Collection [Import] [Best of]: Music "Moonlight Serenade" has so many memories for me since I remember the old "Jackie Gleason Show" on CBS.

SoundtrackNet : The Aviator Soundtrack The story spans the 1920's into the post war 1940's, and included on the CD is a who's who of famous jazz and swing hits of the time, including pieces by Benny Goodman ("Moonglow"), Artie Shaw ("Nightmare"), Harry James ("Back Street Boogie") and Glenn Miller ("Moonlight Serenade"). With the release of Howard Shore's score on a separate album, this song album is a rather intriguing. Two pieces of New Orleans jazz quintet Original Memphis Five are used ("Somebody Stole My Gal" and "Fireworks") as well as Bing Crosby ("Thanks") and folk musician Lead Belly ("Howard Hughes"). www.soundtrack.net /soundtracks/database?id=3857   (678 words)

Music: The Glen Miller Orchestra He started a big band frenzy, and his records were very popular between 1938 and 1944 with songs that live on today including "In The Mood," "Moonlight Serenade,'' "String of Pearls" and "Tuxedo Junction." If you have any interest in the new big bands like The Brian Setzer Orchestra, or Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, are in a jazz band at your school, or are just interested in learning about cool music, I highly recommend any Glenn Miller Orchestra album. The use of harmonies and syncopation that defines jazz were amazing to people. www.teenink.com /Past/9900/November/Music/GlennMiller.html   (272 words)

Carly Simon: 'Moonlight Serenade' AccessAtlanta Alas, the estimable Simon veers perilously close to Rod Stewart's snooze-inducing "Great American Songbook" work on her fourth album of standards, "Moonlight Serenade." That's bad news for music lovers who believe this music can still sparkle (Diana Krall, anyone?), good news for folks who are content with soothing background music for a candlelit bubble bath. Simon's dusky voice, to be fair, is better suited to the material than Stewart's rasp. If blame must be assigned, turn to her old producer, Richard Perry, who helped oversee Simon's most popular period in the early- to mid-'70s and then went on to work on Stewart's "Songbook" trilogy. www.accessatlanta.com /news/content/music/cds/0705/26simon.html   (227 words)
