Miyoshi Umeki

Description

[Machine Translation] [This is a sequel to the highly popular "JAZZ THE BEST" series, which carefully selected the best of the best from the "Universal Jazz" label, which combined the prestigious labels owned by Polydor, Mercury, and Universal Victor, and released 50 titles in one volume. The 50 titles are released all at once. Clear and sharp high quality sound is realized by rubidium cutting. Includes a renewed manual (with new liner notes). This is a collection of standards left by Nancy Umeki, a legendary Japanese female jazz singer active in Hollywood, for Mercury. Nancy Umeki, a legendary diva, was the first Oriental to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her real name is Miyoshi Umeki, and she remained active as a singer and actress until the early 1970s. This is one of her best-known works, which she recorded for a major label during her time in the United States. She sings as fluently as a real jazz singer.

Highly recommended 5

This album has long been a collectors item on vinyl and now you can finally have it on CD! Miyoshi Umeki was a big star in the states during the 1950's and this was her second and last album for the Mercury label in 1959. It's beautifully arranged and produced and Miyoshi sounds the best she ever has. The only problem is that this album was recorded when stereophonic sound on records was in its infancy so the stereo recording of this album is actually inferior to the mono. The reason is that her vocal is only on one side of the speakers and the orchestra on the other. Perfected stereo records have the orchestra split between both sides and the vocal in the middle for perfect sound. Even though this CD release used the stereo masters, its still quite enjoyable and highly recommended!
