As the album title indicates, this collection of jazz standards, recorded in May 2000, is aimed solely at setting a romantic mood. It does this very well, with 10 tracks lasting about an hour that will provide a great backdrop for an evening of either relaxing or seduction, as you prefer.
Christlieb is only on seven of the tracks, with "Someone to Watch Over Me" being his big feature number. The album really revolves around seasoned studio player Slyde Hyde on trombone and euphonium. Hyde restricts himself to slightly embellished melodies, which set the mood nicely but contrast sharply with the uninhibited improvisations of Christlieb and pianist Tom Ranier. Christlieb fans will enjoy his playing, as always. Many listeners may find Hyde's interpretations too restrained. But if your goal is simply to find jazz music for a romantic evening, this is an excellent choice. ~James A. Vedda
