[CD] SACD Johnny Hartman - The Voice That Is

Analogue Productions (Impulse) CIPJ 74 SA, 0753088007460 - Jazz Hybrid Stereo SACD - "The lush baritone voice of Johnny Hartman enriched many big bands in the Forties and Fifties including Dizzy Gillespie's and Erol Garner's. But in the Sixties he recorded many fine albums as leader and with all-star small groups. Although not as popular as some of his other releases, The Voice That Is is an exceptional showcase of his beautiful talent…This recording is a wonderfully arranged and supportive showcase for Johnny Hartman's rich and full voice. It may not be as jazzy as some of his recordings, but leaning towards the popular style seems to bring out the best he has to offer." – All About Jazz Mastered by Kevin Gray.
