The number of male singers jazz has always been small relative to the predominant female population, now more than ever.
The recent death of Mark Murphy (the most modern vocalist, for some years in semi-retirement) has accentuated the shortage even if the stage entrance of Gregory Porter has brought a breath of fresh air.
Kevin Mahogany he had gone missing for some time but this album proves its excellent state of artistic health. Consistent with its history of versatile and flexible baritone tied to Afro-American tradition of Eddie Jefferson, Jon Hendricks and Joe Williams, the singer, 58, Kansas City there regale a lively and engaging drive, with inventive ranging between musical genres and atmospheres.
Supported by the vibrating magnetic force of his voice, Mahogany is a specialist in singing scat, in themes rhythmically exuberant and blues emerges where all its eclecticism timbre. In this regard we recall the tight "Sneak Thief," the swinging "Steamin 'Greens' Dave Stryker and the brilliant" It's Too Late. "
The other side of his personality is expressed with the voice intimate and melodic appeal of crooner. This is demonstrated by the persuasive interpretation of "The Nearness of You," the luminous waltz "Tilly's Waltz," "Pretty Blue" Joe Williams and Kenny Barron "Joanne Julia gentle bossa nova," to which he added a Mahogany text.
Other songs in the repertoire are written entirely by the singer and are also characterized by the wit of the texts: in "My New Friend" foreshadows a future partnership with Michael Buble and "It's Too Late" intimate to a girl not to look in any form , real or virtual, because he already had his chance: it is now the turn of another.
The disc was recorded in November 2014, in a studio not far from Vienna, with excellent Austrian quartet of musicians.
