Search - Baldwin Mark, Huntsinger David, Nelson Craig :: Hymns Just For You : Soothing Jazz

As the title suggests, this one is jazz and excellent jazz it is too. Jack Jezzro, Brentwood Jazz Quartet and Sam Levine manage to create a faultlessly smooth MOR jazz sound that is easy on the ears. Top musicianship (though the sleeve doesn't give a clue as to who is responsible for individual tracks) and imaginative arrangements to these famous tunes. "Amazing Grace" is outstanding though my favourite is "We've A Story To Tell The Nations" with its fluid piano and acoustic bass solo. Nice! This is the mellow melodic jazz for relaxation with familiar tunes wafting by in new incarnations. Occasionally it does wander off into bland lift music territory but then, if you've had a hard day this would be the perfect soundtrack to a glass of wine by the fire!
