Scott Hamilton (Tenor Sax), Tim Ray (Piano), Dave Zinno (Acoustic Bass), Jim Gwin (Drums) and Fred Bates (Guitar on “Sunday).
Producer Duke Robillard: " I am proud to announce the release of the new Blue Duchess/Shining Stone Scott Hamilton cd Scott Hamilton Plays Jule Styne. A breathtakingly beautiful collection of some of Styne's best tunes. Both the well known and obscure are represented here and Scott, and his all star lineup are all in fine form here. Only Gene Ammon's version of " The Party's Over" can give Scott a run for the money on this one. And Scott's rendition of "People" brings tears to the eyes of a listener who thought he never wanted to hear this song again. Again and again here Mr. Hamilton proves he's the top dog at swinging these classics the way no one else can. Ravishing ballads and swinging fresh impressions of classics a the game here, and what a beautiful game it is! "
Scott Hamilton plays a killer tenor sax for all it is worth, and the tunes of composer Jule Styne are the real beneficiaries. This album is chock-full of classic songs, interpreted by the warm tenor of Scott Hamilton, who links the material through an ongoing argument of beauty and luxurious undertones in Jule Styne’s melodies. These are songs that you may heard many times before, but not nearly as seductively.
At first, one might expect to hear jazz versions of just the usual Jule Styne showtunes (“Funny Girl,’ ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’…). Instead, Scott Hamilton plays a much wider variety of Styne’s songs. Yes, the most popular of the composer’s works are included (“People,” “All The Way”…), but so are some lesser-known tunes that are just as wonderful (“Sunday” – written in 1929). My only regret is that none of Stye’s tunes from the musical ‘Gypsy’ were included on the list. Having written one of the most enduring Broadway scores of all time with ‘Gypsy,’ Styne deserves to have those classic songs given the sublime Scott Hamilton delivery. Hamilton shows with this album that he is a master at unearthing new and exciting impressions of songs we thought we knew. ~Greg Victor
