I discovered Mark with his RAH album..

and love it.

For a young guy at the time,he really was and is a talent.

You can tell he really loves those old songs.

This album goes way back,get it before it is gone forever.

This review is from: Crazy Rhythm: Debut Recordings (Audio CD)

I'll admit I was not familiar with the singing style

of Mark Murphy before this, having seen his name pop

up numerous times in record catalogs and other places

when not long a ago, a cabaret singer from New York

sent me an E-mail suggesting I listen to his recordings

as well as a few other names of singers, as I was doing

a bit of cabaret singing and beefing up my own repertoire. It

was my idea to get fresh approaches to some of the standards

and maybe unearth some neglected gems. For my purposes as well

as listening pleasure this CD succeeds admirably. It's hard

to believe that someone this talented had escaped my attention.

Another surprise is the superb quality of these transfers. Except

for the lack of stereo, one would think the recording dates were

years later. One must mention the arranging and conducting of

Ralph Burns, a name most musicians will know. This kind of music

has a quality one can describe as timeless.
