Dakota Staton: Dynamic! CD Track Listing

A list by checkmate

Dakota Staton Dynamic! (1958)
Originally Released 1958\nRemastered + Expanded CD Edition Released October 3, 2006\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Singer Dakota Staton's follow-up album to The Late Late Show (her big hit) is even better and still stands as one of the highpoints of her career. Backed on some selections by trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and either a rhythm section or an orchestra, Staton (who turned 26 around this time) is heard throughout in peak form. She really tears into "Let Me off Uptown," puts plenty of feeling into "When Sunny Gets Blue" and swings hard on "Cherokee." Other highlights include "They All Laughed," "Say It Ain't So, Joe," "Too Close for Comfort" and "It Could Happen to You." -- Scott Yanow\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nDAKOTA AT HER NEAR-BEST, October 22, 2006\nReviewer: Dominick T. Armentano (Vero Beach, Florida USA)\n\nThis CD album is very early Dakota (February 1958) and her singing and the arrangements are spectacular. "Let Me Off Uptown" and "Cherokee" are wildly delightful while Dakota's swinging and stylish "Say It Isn't So, Joe" is the sleeper hit of the recording sessions. There are also 4 bonus tracks including the little known but haunting "Invitation" (which I remember from a long-lost Percy Faith album called "Music For Her.") The only slight disappointment is a previously unissued track "Ill Remember April" which has a minor Dakota bobble and sounds like a first or second warm-up run-through. But, hey, ANYTHING from Dakota's early years is appreciated and we just hope that the Capitol vault caretakers will remaster and release everything from the late 50's and early 60's.
This jazz cd contains 16 tracks and runs 42min 1sec.
