Amazon.co.uk Review
Some jazz fans have been cynical about Georgie Fame's music ever since he had a hit record with "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" in 1967. It's difficult to see why, because Fame's life is totally dedicated to jazz. He always has top jazz musicians working in his band (currently they include trumpeter Guy Barker and tenorist Alan Skidmore) and his own piano, Hammond organ and vocals might well be regarded as a legacy from Count Basie's Kansas City. Indeed Fame toured triumphantly with Basie in the 1960s. Unusually this album takes Fame away from his own band and sets him in a dozen vocals with backings from a quartet of American musicians. The numbers are all classic, ranging from standards like "But Not For Me" and "It Could Happen To You" to jazz stalwarts such as Horace Silver's "Doodlin'" and the diadem of the set, Tadd Dameron's "On A Misty Night", here invested with a new set of lyrics by Fame. Tenor player Bob Malach suits the singer perfectly, and pianist David Hazeltine also solos with fire and verve. Bassist Peter Washington and veteran drummer Louis Hayes complete an immaculate group. Be reassured that this is total jazz and one of Fame's best albums for some time. --Steve Voce
Description
Though Georgie Fame is known as much for his organ playing as for his singing, he eschews the former entirely on POET IN NEW YORK, choosing instead to vocalise exclusively. Part of the album's title comes from Fame's New York accompanists,a solidly swinging quartet comprising some of the Big Apple's finest jazzers.
There's a decidedly '50s feel to this album, right down to the cover, which recalls classic Blue Note artwork of that era. The reigning aesthetic is a blend of West Coast cool jazz and Eddie Jefferson-inspired vocals. Fame and company tackle some well-known tunes, including theswing anthem "Symphony Sid" and the evergreen ballad "Lush Life", but Fame contributes a couple of original compositions as well and they blend right in with their esteemed companions. Throughout, Fame is soulful and sophisticated, simmering but never overcooked. Anyone who longs for the days of Joe Mooney or Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross should embrace POETIN NEW YORK
