Desmond Blue 180gr LP

Paul Desmond (sax); Jim Hall (g); Bob Prince (arr, cond) & strings

As intended, this album presents alto sax
specialist Paul Desmond as never featured before,
with the backing of a string orchestra. The
record, filled with such beautiful jazz standards
as 'My Funny Valentine', 'I've Got You Under My
Skin', and 'Body and Soul', is very rich in
texture, yet subtle and mellow overall in mood.
It's unyielding purpose: to soothe the souls of
its listeners. Desmond's style and tone shine with
an alluring quality, and the record is filled
with melodies that don't fail to stimulate the
sophisticated jazz listener. Desmond's melodies
are eloquently detailed and charmingly spun in the
midst of the string orchestra arranged and
conducted by Bob Prince. The legendary Jim Hall is
featured as guest guitarist, playing yet another
scintillating role and using his classic comping
style. Hall is perhaps the most highly respected
of all jazz guitarists for his good taste and
witty inventiveness. Desmond has always been most
familiar to the jazz public for his sweeping scale
passages and his seemingly effortless spontaneity
during periods of improvisation, although here he
is often featured in a more lyrical ballad style
on such romantic tunes as 'My Funny Valentine',
'Late Lament', and 'Then I'll Be Tired of You.'
This album is a highly innovative and meticulously
crafted work, reflecting the ongoing success of
both Desmond and Hall within the 1960s and the
cool jazz period. Both of these musicians spent
time working with Dave Brubeck and later lent
themselves to many of Antonio Carlos Jobim's bossa
nova projects. The arrangements are extraordinary
throughout this collection, including the
charming 'Valentine', which begins with a
fantastic Elizabethan flavor. The intro sets up
the mood to carry Desmond into the first chorus,
which then glides into a 20th century style. The
tune 'I Should Care' is ?a shimmering debt to
Ibert and one of the most imaginative blendings
you will ever hear of strings, reeds, French horn
and harp,? according to the liner notes. The tone
of the album: lush, reflective, thought-provoking,
and soul-stirring. This work is quite a plus for
any listener and especially those who consider
themselves avid fans of Paul Desmond.
