Sammy Davis, Jr.

At The Cocoanut Grove
Sealed 1963 Tri Color Steamboat Label 2LP Stereo Original. Pristine Copy. Captured On Stage At The Cocoanut Grove Lounge Of The Ambassador Hotel In Los Angeles This Great Double Album Heralds The End Of An Era For Sammy Davis Jr. After His Unparalleled Success On Broadway In Golden Boy, No Longer Would He Be Relegated To Nightclubs And Vegas Showcases. At The Cocoanut Grove Is A Timepiece Lauding The His Versatility As A Nightclub Entertainer. The Dramatic Qualities That He Brings To His Performance, Coupled With His Inimitable Repartee With The Audience, Are Honed With An Assuredness That Wherever You Have Been In Life, Sammy Has Been Right There Along For The Ride. This "Everyman" Trait Is Likewise Shared By Frank Sinatra. The Seemingly Effortless Flow Between Rock Standards Such As "Hound Dog" With Rhythm & Blues On "What'd I Say" Should Not Be Discounted As Novelty. The Musical Punctuation Provided By Dick Stable And Orchestra Contributes Immensely In Creating Open Soundscapes. They Allow Him Enough Room To Utilize His Immense Talents While Never Overpowering Him. Their Contributions To The "West Side Story Medley" In Particular Are As Much A Highlight As Is His Show-Stopping Performance.
