Julie London Turns Winter to Summer

JazzWax by Marc Myers
JazzWax readers know I traditionally feature Julie London on Christmas Day, but today I wanted to take a beat to let you know what a great singer she is any time of year. To me, London is a consummate jazz singer—from her tone to her phrasing. Like Anita O'Day, London had an understated hipness built into her delivery along with a dry airiness that all but eliminated any trace of vibrato. I also love that she never quite fit in, ...

Julie London's Holiday Album, 2022

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Once again, it's time for Julie London's Christmas album that never was. I started this tradition eight years ago because, for whatever reason, the singer never recorded an album of holiday favorites, just one side of a Liberty 45 in 1957. Why she'd release a single side but not a full-blown LP remains puzzling, to say the least. So in 2014, I assembled all of her seasonal tracks for a faux streaming release of my own. As JazzWax readers know, ...

Doc: The Nocturnal Julie London

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Recently over a weekend, I posted a few video clips of Julie London singing and appearing on the TV game show What's My Line? Many of you unfamiliar with London wrote to me fully understanding why I would write that she's my favorite female vocalist of the 1950s and '60s. As I noted, London's voice is the hippest, the coolest and the most detached and nocturnal. Forget her cinema looks. More important was her artistic integrity, her humility and her rejection ...

Julie London: A Good Cry
Source:
JazzWax by Marc Myers
Julie London sang Cry Me A River several times on TV over the years after she made the song her own in 1956. Written by Arthur Hamilton in 1953 for Ella Fitzgerald to sing in the film Pete Kelly's Blues (1955), the song was dropped in 1954 during production. Cry Me a River was then offered to singer Peggy King, but Mitch Miller, Columbia's head of A&R at the time, didn't like the word “plebeian" in the lyric and nixed ...
