Jazz
While Johnny Hartman is considered by many to be one of the most gifted Jazz vocalists ever, his discography is surprisingly limited and he never gained the recognition he so justly deserved during his lifetime. His best-selling album was his celebrated 1963 collaboration with John Coltrane. The Boston concert presented here for the first time ever must be considered an essential addition to Johnny Hartman's discography. Taped from a radio broadcast at a Boston Jazz club called the Merry Go Round on February 24, 1976, this is the first known recording of Hartman since his 1973 album I've Been There. The next entry in his discography being his October 1977 live set at the Sometime Club in Tokyo. The Japanese performance included Roland Hanna and George Mraz and is presented here as a bonus. |
