EXTD=\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Will Friedwald's liner notes for this classy
EXTD= Capitol reissue attempt to finger the epicenter of June Christy'
EXTD=s vocal magic but, as he states, comparing her to other female vo
EXTD=calists sometimes leaves Christy seemingly lacking in any one out
EXTD=standing quality. She doesn't swing as hard (or play as hard) as 
EXTD=Anita O'Day, she isn't as empathic as Ella Fitzgerald, doesn't le
EXTD=gitimize her blues as well as Dinah Washington, and remains detac
EXTD=hed from the kind of tragedy that makes Billie Holiday's readings
EXTD= so emotionally charged. What Christy does have are confidence an
EXTD=d smarts. Her intelligent readings, artful lyrical interpretation
EXTD=, and cool sense of rhythm make her performances seem effortless 
EXTD=on the surface, but closer scrutiny reveals a musical sophisticat
EXTD=ion few can match. Her work with Pete Rugolo, for example, pitted
EXTD= her against wild and unpredictable arrangements, but Christy's c
EXTD=ool nature managed to keep the spotlight firmly centered on the f
EXTD=ront mic. June's Got Rhythm comes near the end of her stint with 
EXTD=Capitol records (right before she hooked up with Rugolo again for
EXTD= The Song Is June!) and finds Christy in top swinging form. This 
EXTD=reissue stays true to the original sequencing, but with the benef
EXTD=it of faithful remastering and deluxe repackaging. The small grou
EXTD=p setting allows Christy to take unconventional paths through (of
EXTD=ten overblown) numbers like "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't G
EXTD=ot That Swing)" -- slowing down and speeding up the arrangement w
EXTD=ith O'Day-like abandon. "All God's Chillun Got Rhythm," as perfor
EXTD=med here, may be the most unique and adventurous interpretation t
EXTD=his second-string standard has ever received -- creeping in tenta
EXTD=tively then exploding into a sexy, swaggering crescendo. On the s
EXTD=low side, "Easy Living" brings Christy's brand of cool to bear on
EXTD= this Billie Holiday staple and the resulting stretched-out arran
EXTD=gement is luxurious and evocative. In addition to the original 11
EXTD= tracks, Capitol has included a selection of four songs from Chri
EXTD=sty's conceptual children's record Cool School. This isn't just f
EXTD=luffy kid's stuff, though; Cool School is the most stripped-down 
EXTD=album Christy ever made -- with just a four-piece rhythm section,
EXTD= and not one horn to be found. The Gershwin's "Looking for a Boy"
EXTD= is particularly well done, complete with Christy's cerebral rhyt
EXTD=hmic stylings and "cool as the other side of the pillow" vocal de
EXTD=livery. Perhaps this, and the other lavish Capitol reissues of he
EXTD=r work, will spark some new interest in June Christy's downplayed
EXTD= talents and bring some light to what it is, exactly, that makes 
EXTD=her style so effortlessly cool.  -- J. Scott McClintock\n\nHalf.c

EXTD= REVIEW\nAfter 47 years, we can retire our LPs, September 23, 200
EXTD=5\nReviewer: Steve Emerine (Tucson, AZ United States)\nMy 47-year
EXTD=-old LP of "June's Got Rhythm," bought for $3 at an Air Force BX 
EXTD=when I was a young, single lieutenant, has been scratchy for a lo
EXTD=t of years, but it's finally been replaced with this CD, which al
EXTD=so features some bonus tracks from another Christy album. If you'
EXTD=ve never heard this Christy effort, it's one of her best. If you 
EXTD=have, it's probably time to replace your LP, too. The CD reveals 
EXTD=that the "George Spelvin" listed on the original LP as a flutist 
EXTD=and saxophonist with June and husband Bob Cooper was really the g
EXTD=reat Bud Shank, still going strong in Tucson and around the world
EXTD= as he approaches his 80th birthday. Check out his new CD with Ph
EXTD=il Woods after you've heard this one. Better yet, consider buying
EXTD= them both. \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nGreat album, August 2
EXTD=4, 2005\nReviewer: Jim Andrews "Wayne Brasler" (Chicago, Illinois
EXTD= USA)\nOn the way I to buying this new issue of "June's Got Rhyth
EXTD=m" I mused at length on exactly what made and makes June Christy 
EXTD=so special. After listening to her 50 years I still can't figure 
EXTD=it out. How surprised and amused I was to find Will Friedwald mus
EXTD=ing on the same topic in his album notes. This is one of June's m
EXTD=ost relaxed albums, a true jazz outing with the cream of instrume
EXTD=ntalists on a tasty menu of standards, some better known than oth
EXTD=ers. "Rock Me To Sleep" and "When Lights Are Low" long have been 
EXTD=regarded as this album's notable bookends but there is much admir
EXTD=able between. \nTracks have been added from "The Cool School," Ju
EXTD=ne's unusual collection of mostly kids' songs in a jazz setting. 
EXTD=That should be reissued completely. The remastering here is admir
EXTD=able and this is music that never wears out its welcome.\n\nAMAZO
EXTD=N.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nJune Christy's jazziest set, August 16, 20
EXTD=05\nReviewer: Ben Glenn (The nation's capital)\n\nRecorded in 195
EXTD=8, JUNE'S GOT RHYTHM marked a turning point in Christy's marvelou
EXTD=s years at Capitol Records. Rather than working with the esteemed
EXTD= Pete Rugolo, for this session the beloved singer looked to husba
EXTD=nd Bob Cooper (a superb musician in his own right) to provide the
EXTD= arrangements. Cooper assembled a small group of Kenton alumni, a
EXTD=nd the resulting ensemble clearly put Christy at ease, as the res
EXTD=ults are relaxed, lilting, and arguably the jazziest recordings o
EXTD=f Christy's career. \n\nAs with previous Christy reissues, produc
EXTD=er Michael Cuscuna has produced a first-rate package, with superb
EXTD= remastering, original album art, and new liner notes by Will Fri
EXTD=edwald. \n\nA tasty bit of 1950s West Coast jazz at its peak, JUN
EXTD=E'S GOT RHYTHM is simply splendid.
