A veteran tenor saxophonist whose reputation has never caught up to his exceptional talents, Houston Person rises to undeniable heights on this duo collaboration with Bill Charlap, a pianist whose reputation as an interpreter of the Great American Songbook has taken off through a series of topnotch albums but whose acute skills as an accompanist may be underapprecated. Even taking into account the familiarity they have attained through various encounters in New York, the chemistry Person and Charlap demonstrate here is pretty stunning. Person's classic deep tenor finds elegance and strength in a selection of songs that spans standards (Gershwin's "S'Wonderful"), Broadway (Leslie Bricusse's "If I Ruled the World"), pop ("Where is the Love," a hit for Donnie Hathaway) and jazz (McCoy Tyner's melodious title cut). And Charlap, making acute and witty digressions even as he smartly shadows the saxophonist, adds depth to the songs. An album in the same class as Stan Getz's series of duets with Kenny Barron, which is saying a lot. --Lloyd Sachs

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Inspirational.......2007-05-12

When the world lost the truly Great tenormen i.e., Lester Young, Chu Berry, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster many players and listeners were highly dismayed. It wasn't until a few years ago that I had the good fortune of discovering Houston Person that I could truly rejoice. Many people have oogled with augh over Coltrane and a mirade of others but none had the soul or love of the truly Great Ones I so much missed. There are many 'technicians' who can blow anything but few who can emit feeling and love. Houston Person is one who can and ranks high upon my list of those now gone and has done much to restore the tenderness and passions of the past for me. His work with Bill Charlap is not only beautiful but inspirational as well. For me this recording is the absolute finest example of love and tenderness I have experienced in many years of listening and playing. Not only the lead song You Taught My Heart To Sing, but Namely You, Where Are You and Sweet Lorraine all are further examples of what can happen when you get two perceptive and capable musicians together -- what a complimentary pair these two really are! They have brought a world that seems dreary and short on beauty a whole recorded session of sheer beauty and enjoyment that all seems well as the music plays on. You not only hear the results of two men who are really in tune with themselves and each other but their work unites you with the best there is within you and the world. This recording is, for me, priceless and would be the "ONE" most favored to take with me to that desert island -- provided there was the capability of somehow reproducing it there. All would be well with me and life in general. The manner in which these two great musicians listen and support one another is indeed remarkable and most enjoyable. I have purchased at least three or four copies of this disc and shared them with others. This one is a real treasure for those who enjoy music from the heart.

3 out of 5 stars what is that creaking sound? The floor?.......2007-02-28

Whatever its merits, this recording, "engineered, mixed, and mastered" by the legendary Rudy Van Gelder, includes a bizarre level of ambient studio sounds that DO DETRACT from the music - such as a floor creaking, or someone moving around or I can't tell what. There is very little precedent for this kind of nonsense in a professional studio recording. Maybe they accidentally released a soundcheck instead of the master. Maybe it's a cutting edge 'warts and all' approach from a recording engineer with 50 years of work under his belt. Maybe nobody else heard these weird sounds except me.

4 out of 5 stars Relaxing at Home .......2007-02-18

This is a nice soothing CD to help one relax after a day of work.

Many jazz recordings are dedicated to exploring new sounds. This one is much more traditional jazz, dedicated to preserving the legacy of jazz instead of creating new jazz alternatives. It is well recorded, and one can visualize being in a club listening to a jazz duo.

In my Opinion: Where is Love, I was Telling Her About You, are the highlights of the recording.

5 out of 5 stars This is really Charlap's album.......2007-02-02

I have a few other things by Houston Person, who usually has a sound that reminds me of Gene Ammons - a big, bassy tenor sax sound. He is completely different here - breathy, a higher timbre, softer. He plays beautifully. However, this album is really all about Bill Charlap.

First of all, his piano is recorded beautifully. Second, he PLAYS beautifully. At first, I thought I detected some of Bill Evans in his sound, but then almost everyone has some of Evans. No, Charlap has his own sound and style. He plays more in the upper range of the instrument than Evans, a more open style of harmony.

The very first number, "You Taught My Heart To Sing" almost leaves you breathless. The playing is gorgeous. It has everything that it needs and nothing that it doesn't, to paraphrase a commercial.

Clearly, Charlap is a man to be listened to, and I for one will certainly be looking to purchase more of his recordings. For my money, he may be one of the two or three best of the current crop of jazz pianists.

5 out of 5 stars Trust Charlap to pick a winner.......2007-01-09

Bill Charlap's collaborations with tenor sax players are some of the best examples of the continuing heritage of straight-ahead jazz. He has recorded with Scott Hamilton and Frank Wess with great success. And now he has given us a great session with traditionalist Houston Person. Newcomers to the world of jazz should listen to this release to learn why older fans flock to Charlap's performances and to experience the sounds that made jazz America's pop music 50 years ago.

    4 out of 5 stars A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

    This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

      Sir Thomas Allen makes the point in a note with this delightful collection of 25 ballads that he rates it beside his many recordings of music heavyweights like Wagner and Verdi. There is no need to justify his enthusiasm, for it is clear from the outset that he treats the music with the sort of complete respect that has made him one of our most-loved singers. It is too easy to be dismissive of this repertoire, but when it is taken at its own value and sung and played with honesty, as it is here, the results are heartwarming. Allen recalls hearing the songs in the family home following the two world wars, "a time when there seemed a need for reassurance." Perhaps that time is with us again, and these performances strike a chord. There are many old friends here and perhaps some new discoveries. Who can resist the beautifully constructed "Love, could I only tell thee" or that old potboiler "The Lost Chord", especially when given with such warmth? A picture shows Allen and family in full vocal spate. At the piano is his father, to whose memory he dedicates the disc. --Keith Clarke

      5 out of 5 stars Black on White.......2006-08-30

      I'll never forget the night when, after a torrid and cookin' set, Sonny Stitt embraced the only white musician and announced to the crowd, "He's only white on the outside." I'd never heard of Kirsten Gustafson, but the musicians and the tunes looked familiar, and the price was right. So is Kirsten. In fact, she's up there with today's most "soulful" jazz singers, sounding "black" to my ears (think Ruth Brown, Etta Jones and Etta James--not Whitney or Leontyne).

      Making it as a jazz singer requires much more than talent--beauty, image, cleverness, shameless self-promotion, the ability to seduce not just an audience but a powerful agent and loyal arranger and rhythm section, boundless energy and determination, incredible resilience, the breaks. If Kirsten's meager recorded output is due to a lack in one of those areas, it's certainly not talent. She covers the whole range vocally--tenor to soprano, has a consistent sound in all registers, and brings to all of her tones a "mature" earthiness, or "body," that is uncommonly natural and appealing.

      And she feels the music. McCoy Tyner's "You Taught My Heart to Sing," as compelling a melody as it is, is also treacherous and far more challenging than most vocalists who are attracted to the song realize. Kirsten's is the most successful interpretation I've heard. She also scats convincingly on "I Don't Know Why I Love You Like I Do" (of all tunes!); and she does a hip vocalese chorus on "Too Marvelous for Words."

      The arrangements are by the late Frank Mantooth, famed arranger and educator, and a skilled pianist on the session. The rest of the cast is also first rate, beginning with saxophonist Greg Fishman, who has few if any equals in the Midwest.

      I have a hunch this one will get a lot of playing time from me.

        If you love jazz singing, you'll love Jennifer Shelton's new CD. She is an especially adept scatter, demonstrating her innovative scat vocabulary on classics such as "We Kiss in a Shadow" and new tunes such as "Crazy Rythm Tales." Buy this CD, you won't be sorry!!!!

        5 out of 5 stars Please Let There Be More.......2001-03-14

        It will be hard to top this performance but let us hope Jennifer & Co. will keep on trying. It needs repeating that this is a new star on the horizon. It is hard to imagine that so many talants are wrapped up in one neat package named Jennifer Shelton. Not only does her performance shine she has managed to surround herself with equally talanted musicians. Something special is about to happen for them. "You Taught My Heart" will delight & amaze. Don't miss this one.

        5 out of 5 stars Who taught her??.......2001-03-09

        In You Taught My Heart to Sing, Jennifer Shelton shines in her debut CD. Our favorite is the title cut: full of feeling and romance. She exhibits a great vocal talent that we hope to hear more of. We'd love to see her perform live!! In the meantime, put this one in your CD changer and ENJOY!! Check Jen out!

          Here is a 74-minute sampler from Chandos's excellent Opera in English series. Tenor Dennis O'Neill features prominently in many excerpts. His Rodolfo in La Bohème is warm and loving, his Canio and Turiddu are dangerous, and his Cavaradossi is introspective. Bruce Ford, one of the world's most underrated tenors, is heard to great advantage as Almaviva in Rossini's Barber, Lionel in Martha, and briefly as Samson to Diana Montague's sultry Delilah. Jane Eaglen impresses as Tosca while Alan Opie does Figaro's and Marcello's music proud. John Tomlinson is a meaty Boris and Barry Banks makes a nice Ernesto in Don Pasquale. This is a nice collection, unique in its own way, and recommended. --Robert Levine

          5 out of 5 stars Real Patriotism Through Extraordinary Music.......2003-02-26

          In the wake of considerable ersatz patriotism following 9/11, I have become sensitive to what I consider to be acts of true patriotism. Recording these very American songs, with a tremendous commitment to showing them in their most pristine and revealing light, is one of those, perhaps small, acts of patriotism that are profound in their ability to show the best of the United States of America. I used the word "commitment" in the above sentence because that is the underlying theme of this entire venture. Ms. Danton sings with amazing clarity of voice and tremendous enthusiasm for the material. Each of these songs is a minor masterpiece, as presented, and the whole album is captivating and deeply compelling. These songs stay with you. I find myself humming the melodies for days. They are, indeed, songs many of us grew up with or have heard for years. So there you have it: 5 stars for the material, 5 stars for the performances and 5 stars for the recording quality.

          Customer Reviews:

          2 out of 5 stars Not representative Teyte.......2005-08-29

          Maggie Teyte is known, for the most part, for her French Art Song recordings. This Decca 'Singers' edition, while entertaining, is not representative of her best, or indeed, her most iconic work. For that, you'll need to turn to her EMI recordings. All that said, these recordings show her in marvellous voice, and a couple of the performances, the Hahn and the Dvorak 'Songs my mother taught me' are very special.

          3 out of 5 stars Joy and melancholy.......2002-02-07

          I wonder how many English singers, born as long ago as 1888, have been resurrected on CD in the year 2001. Dame Maggie Teyte can claim two CDs! This one forms part of the series "The Singers". All the recordings on this CD date from the 1930s. That those years were "lean years" for British singers, is also to Maggie Teyte's credit. Beggars cannot be choosers, of course, and what is here is not necessarily always her best work. The first three tracks show her at her best; elsewhere there are some quaint and queer items. In "Sweet Mistress Prue" you will hear "the sky is blue" and "how I love you" and every possible rhyming line ad nauseum. Eleven of the tracks derive from 1937 broadcasts she gave with the accompanist Rita Mackay. One of them is issued here for the first time, replacing another - a song by Hugo Wolf - that was included in a first issue of this collection on LP in the 1970s.

          The singer puts her stamp on everything, conveying a sense of joy mixed with a tinge of wistful melancholy. Her admirers will welcome this CD with joy. That her voice never recorded well, and that these recordings were never the best of their day, might induce a slight feeling of melancholy.
