Title: Early recordings, but GREAT
Product review: I'll admit I was not familiar with the singing styleof Mark Murphy before this, having seen his name popup numerous times in record catalogs and other placeswhen not long a ago, a cabaret singer from New Yorksent me an E-mail suggesting I listen to his recordingsas well as a few other names of singers, as I was doinga bit of cabaret singing and beefing up my own repertoire. Itwas my idea to get fresh approaches to some of the standardsand maybe unearth some neglected gems. For my purposes as wellas listening pleasure this CD succeeds admirably. It's hardto believe that someone this talented had escaped my attention.Another surprise is the superb quality of these transfers. Exceptfor the lack of stereo, one would think the recording dates wereyears later. One must mention the arranging and conducting ofRalph Burns, a name most musicians will know. This kind of musichas a quality one can describe as timeless.
