Product Description The parallels of John Coltrane teaming up with Johnny Hartman in 1963 are strikingly similar and yet very different when compared to Kirk Whalums newest recording with his brother Kevin, ROMANCE LANGUAGE. Both are, we feel, among the most romantic jazz albums of their respective eras. Features special guest Hugh "Peanuts" Whalum. Review This Valentine s Day will be just a little more special and romantic as The Whalum brothers set out to give us a new reason to love love. Sax giant Kirk Whalum, in the role of the great John Coltrane, brings in a trusted ally brother/vocalist Kevin who assumes the role of Johnny Hartman in a recreation of the memorable 1963 duet recording. --thesmoothjazzride.comThe CD opens much like the 1963 original with a spine chilling rendition of the timeless They Say its Wonderful It provides the brothers with an early opportunity to declare their mellow intent and they stay in deliciously turned down mode throughout. --smoothjazztherapy.comThat Coltrane influence is evident when you hear the project, Kirk s horn playing and Kevin s moving vocals brought out the essence of the language of romance. The album also evokes visions and mood of that Coltrane time period, so much so that it moved me to tears --eurweb.com
I had heard two of the numbers on this album on Music Choice and thought, Wow, another jazz instrumentalist who also sings ( i.e. George Benson, Grady Tate, Chet Baker, etc.). After I received the CD and read the liner notes, I realized that it was his brother singing lead on most of the cuts and his uncle singing on one. This family is really talented. Looking forward to his brother's vocal album -- hopefully in the near future. Highly recommend this CD!!
