Free Music Review: The Sound of Silence
Hit: 5 Stars
Listening to Mark Murphy sing is one of those quintessential aesthetic experiences where time stands still long enough for phrasings of pregnant silence to accentuate the simple, elegant form that envelops and lingers in consciousness. It is comparable to slow-flight over a sea of sunflowers beaming gold out to a dappled, untroubled sky, the majestic rise of El Capitan at Yosemite and the deep, dark, blue of a moonlit shoreline at the far north's Hudson's Bay.
ONCE TO EVERY HEART is an extraordinary collection of ballads that seep deep into one's nighttime soul. There is the introductory tune, "I'm Through With Love (Fudd Livingston/Matty Malneck/Gus Kahn), sung famously by Marilyn Monroe in SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959) and recorded by Ella Fitzgerald in the same year. In Murphy's extraordinary rendition, pianist Frank Chastenier's delicate right hand creates a sound like the gentlest cascade of water in a slow meander along a shallow brook as Murphy intones, lentamente, "Why did you lead me to think you could care? You didn't need me for you had your share - of slaves around you - to hound and swear - with deep emotion - devotion - to you. I'm through with love, I'll never love again. Said adieu to love, don't ever call again..."
As never fails with any Mark Murphy production, the listener is rewarded with exquisitely inventive arrangements and the accompaniment of premier musicians. In this case, in addition to Chastenier, there is elegant time-keeping by bassist Christian Von Kaphengst, Nan Schwartz's string arrangements, and standout collaboration between Murphy and Europe's top jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player, Till Bronner, who also produced this Verve album. One of my favorites (they were all favorites), a tune written by Bronner, "Our Game," has a silky-smooth trumpet intro and the parallel play of voice and horn as is true of the tunes throughout including "Bein' Green," the signature tune, "Once to Every Heart," featuring an intro with Bronner's melodious horn, and "It Never Entered My Mind." There are two medleys: "When I Fall in Love/My One and Only Love" that begins a capella, then ends with a double falsetto, and "Skylark/You Don't Know What Love Is." There is also the tune composed by Murphy "I Know You From Somewhere." And guess who plays the keyboard on Ellington's "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me" - Murphy.
Unless those moments for candlelight and wine no longer have a place on a frenzied planet, you will almost certainly enjoy, and hopefully share, the consummate artistry of Mark Murphy's ONCE TO EVERY HEART. That he has been nominated six times for an Emmy, but never received the award, says more about the Emmy process than Murphy, the singer's singer and musician's musician.
