Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

A New Standard builds on the popularity of Steve Tyrell's appearances in the Father of the Bride movies. In addition to "The Way You Look Tonight" (from the Father of the Bride soundtrack) and "Give Me the Simple Life" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street" (from Father of the Bride, Part II), the album features Tyrell singing 14 more standards in a casual, gravel-throated style. A New Standard includes the final recorded performances of trumpet great Harry "Sweets" Edison, who solos on "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and "I've Got the World on a String". Other notable guests include Clark Terry, Plas Johnson, Joe Sample, and Toots Thielemans. But the real keys to the album's success are the impeccably crafted arrangements of rhythm guitarist Bob Mann and Tyrell's unpretentious, warm-hearted vocal delivery. In contrast to so many neo-swing wannabes, Tyrell approaches these timeless tunes with the R&B-bred soul of a grey-haired baby boomer who's just discovered his parents' record collection. In the jazzbo tradition of Louis Armstrong and Jack Sheldon, he doesn't try to blow anyone away with his chops. He just sings the songs with an infectious enthusiasm and easy swing that's impossible to dislike. --Rick Mitchell

4.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had found this sooner!, 15 Jul 2000
By A Customer
I had never heard of Steve Tyrell until Michael Parkinson played a few of his tracks on his Sunday Show on Radio 2. As soon as I heard Steve's voice, I realised that he had been the artist who appeared on the soundtrack to the Steve Martin "Father of the Bride" films - in particular his version of "The Way You Look Tonight" had stuck in my mind, as I have always loved that old song (which also appeared in one of my very favourite films "My Best Friend's Wedding" with Julia Roberts) - no, I am NOT obsessed with weddings, it's just a coincidence!

On this album, Steve covers some of the best old romantic and mellow songs in his own unique style, giving some of the lyrics a modern twist (even Hillary and Bill Clinton get a mention!). It is a treat to listen to, and will become one of the most played CDs in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful CD!, 21 Jan 2002
By A Customer
If you enjoy Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby or the likes, this CD will really catch your fancy. A toe-tapping, fun-humming piece of work - definitely worth the buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music that never fail to put me in great mood, 20 Dec 2000
Kick off your shoes, turn on the CD, open a bottle of bubblies. Let Steve Tyrell coo you with his warm, playful voice. He's got a great way of putting words together, linking them, and emphasizing them at the right moment. I guess that's what differentiate a good singer from a great one. The songs are old classics, you've heard them before, great for humming along. Steve - when is the next cd?
