Recorded: Oct 23-24, 2004
Bill Charlap - piano
Sandy Stewart - vocals
Love is Here to Stay delivers heart swells a-plenty. Forget for a moment singer Sandy Stewart and pianist Bill Charlap are mother and son; forget that the late Morris "Moose" Charlap, famed Broadway composer, was Sandy's husband and Bill's father; that the family's Manhattan apartment was a meeting place for some of the greatest songwriters ever to enliven western culture in the 20th century; let pass, for now, all the notions of precocity and pedigree inherent in the narrative that brings these two individuals together to make this recording.
Instead, hear the eleven beautiful ballads on this album and rejoice in the glories of timeless song. Inspired by the idea of "creating a personal photo album that we could share," Charlap said, he and Stewart chose a program that represented, not surprisingly, major popular songwriters such as George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Richard Rodgers and Irving Berlin.
Charlap's first album on Blue Note Records, Written in the Stars, was released in 2000 and met wide acclaim. Stardust, which feted the music of Hoagy Carmichael, followed two years later with cameos by Tony Bennett, Shirley Horn, Wess and Jim Hall. By then, the pianist's trio was being recognized by the general public, and on the heels of the release of his 2004 collection of Leonard Bernstein's songs, Somewhere, Time magazine noted that "Charlap is coming into bloom these days, after years of paying his dues as a musician's musician…no matter how imaginative or surprising his take on a song is, he invariably zeroes in on its essence."
Occasional club and cabaret dates over the years with his mother, whom Charlap lauds as the greatest influence on his music, have led to these two gifted artists wanting to document their deep commitment to American song. It's a formidable achievement by any measure, forged as it is from love. |
