Recorded: Aug 4, 2004
Houston Person (tenor saxophone)
Bill Charlap (piano)
The lush tenor tone of Houston Person and the economic stylings of pianist Bill Charlap was an inspired pairing. Together one afternoon at the famed Rudy Van Gelder studio they laid down ten tracks of standards and near-standards which should be heard by all those who fancy themselves jazz players. Every track is a model of musicianship, with each artist totally at the service of the music they have chosen to play. There is no competitive jockeying for position here, no ostentatious show which becomes virtuosity for virtuosity's sake. Instead these are two men devoted to their art and determinedto make music which is uniquely communicative. Tunes include McCoy Tyner's hauntingly beautiful title song, the lovely "If I Ruled the World" and the favorites "Sweet Lorraine" and "S'Wonderful". This is great music making by two masters of their art.
Tenor saxophonist Houston Person teams up with pianist Bill Charlap on this ten-track collection of standards, You Taught My Heart to Sing. Both musicians have released individual albums paying homage to the great songwriters of the '30s and '40s -- George Gershwin, Hoagy Carmichael, Irving Berlin -- but this is the first time they teamed up in the studio together. Along with such tried and true chestnuts as "S'Wonderful," "Sweet Lorraine," and "Namely You," the duo brings a few originals into the musical fold as well as contemporary romantic standards such as "Where Is the Love." Recorded in the cozy confines of Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Englewood, NJ, the mood is relaxed yet not moribund, nor does the duo succumb to adding weepy strings or sappy horn arrangements. Person and Charlap don't break any new ground with this recording; rather they continue to showcase their combined enduring passion for ballads.
