A "singer's singer" for half a century, Murphy's discography
cites close to 40 albums, 7 Grammy nominations and winning the
laurel wreath of Down Beat Reader's Poll Best Male Jazz
Vocalist of 2002. He boasts a staunch international fan base
that includes quality peer-groupers -- Kurt Elling built a
career off his style, and Shirley Horn and Sheila Jordan are
avid admirers -- and enough critical plaudits to fill a few
scrapbooks. Here Murphy weaves his seductive web on a set of 11
main-stem classics from the Joe Williams songbook without
distorting or detracting from their blues identity. Helping him
to swing the blues right is a killer rhythm section, comprising
pianist Norman Simmons, who doubles as the date's arranger,
Monk competition bass winner Darryl Hall, and drum giant Grady
Tate.
With Bill Easley, reeds; Norman Simmons, piano; Paul
Bollenback, guitar; Darryl Hall, bass; Grady Tate, drums.
