content: "Haunted Heart" starts with a blast of recorded film music that my kids recognize from Bugs Bunny. Then, it goes into "Hello My Lovely", a Charlie Haden original. Charlie Haden does a similar thing on three songs. His Quartet West plays an instrumental version of the song, then it segues into a clip of a 40's-era vocal version. Jo Stafford sings at the end of "Haunted Heart", Jeri Southern at the end of "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye", and Billie Holiday at the end of "Deep Song". The Quartet West plays its jazz in a very mainstream fashion. Ernie Watts is a very lush saxophone player -- his generation's Ben Webster. Mix it all together, and it's all quite romantic, though in the melodramatic sense of the word. I'm not a big fan of attaching the old songs onto the end. It doesn't work out as creatively as it should be. Still, it's a good disc, and is about in the middle range of 4-star discs.
