5.0 out of 5 stars What Does Mark Murphy Think?, January 30, 2002

Just saw Mark at performance in Los Angeles. I said to him across the room, "You know what's your best album, Mark (he must have 30 to 40 out there)?" He said, "What?" I said, "Song for the Geese." He rushed over to me and shook my hand saying, "That's how I feel." Walking away he lamented, "But it's so hard to find that one."
As a great lover of music and as a musician,I know Mark is so very wonderful. I must have 25 of his albums. This is his best. One of my five desert island picks. So beautiful it gives chills. Consider yourself very lucky to find it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mark is oh, so under-appreciated, November 26, 2004

This CD gives what could be considered uneven or with a little bit
in different directions to please on a variety of scales. I am one who believes the latter. From the easy flowing, "You go to my head", to the scat filled and upbeat, "Baltimore Oriole". I love the smooth beginning to the Steely Dan tune, "Do it again" before he steps it up to a faster groove. Mark is in great voice and style with "It's just talk,"
and "Blase". This is a great effort, one of Mark's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mark Murphy is like a good wine : older he gets,better he is, March 8, 1999

In this last recording , Mr Murphy sings better than ever. With an excellent latin/funk flavoured rythm section, he delivers us beautiful standards and a couple of pleasant surprises ( Steely Dan's "Do it again" being one of the best) . With this great album, Mark Murphy continues to feed the listeners with first quality pure jazz. In my point of view, he remains the best jazz vocalist living today.
