"The response to us adding classic recordings to our website has overwhelmingly positive we so dipped into our vaults for some great lost treasures," said Shelly Liebowitz, President of The SRI Label Group whose website, srirecords.com, has become the hot destination on the web for baby boomers in search of the music they love.

They went deep into their treasure trove for classic jazz albums by The Velvet Fog himself, Mel Torme' and the great jazz vocalist Ruth Brown. The Torme' album is titled Don't Worry 'Bout Me and it's from his early days and it's a wonderful addition to the music collection of his fans.

The Ruth Brown album is a treat. It's from the early 80's done for the Dobre label, one of the label catalogs that SRI has purchased. This great album was never widely released and it does deserve to be heard by jazz lovers.

Then they came up with a collection of duets by Judy Garland. On the Garland set Judy is joined by Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra with Dean Martin, Barbra Streisand, Peggy Lee, Lena Horne, Count Basie, Mel Torme,' Liza Minnelli and others.

To round out this group of releases they added a great album jazz legend Sammy Davis Jr. Who knew that Sammy ever recorded a country album and its really good.

What makes this website special and unique is that on the SRI website they have a Jukebox where you can listen to full albums at no charge. It's a treat to be able to hear more than 30 second clips to know if you like something enough to want to purchase it. Here you can listen to as many as a dozen jazz albums free of charge. As expected they do have a store where they sell song downloads and CDs.
