Review

Tawny/Music, Martinis & Memories collects two of Jackie Gleason's mood music albums onto one CD. The five-song Tawny EP includes lush, orchestral renditions of "Girl, Boy, Dance, Affair," "Some Day," and "If I Had You," while Music, Martinis & Memories features "The Song Is Ended," "I Remember You," and "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good." As with Collector's Choice's other Gleason reissues, Tawny/Music, Martinis & Memories does right by Gleason's romantic brand of easy listening. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
