Free Music Notes for A New Standard

Free Music Review: So much more than "ear candy" music--BRAVO, STEVE TYRELL !!!
Hit: 5 Stars

Steve Tyrell will not disappoint you on his CD entitled A New Standard. I agree with Amazon when they state that he sings with the enthusiasm of an older baby boomer who just discovered his parents' record collection. All throughout this CD, Steve sings remarkably well and his slightly gravely voice exudes energy and masculine warmth.

The CD track set begins with two songs from the movie entitled Father Of The Bride, Part II. "Give Me The Simple Life" signals the beginning of a CD that is soothing and just plain wonderful to enjoy. Bob Mann's arrangement makes great use of the percussion; and the music complements Steve's performance perfectly. "On The Sunny Side Of The Street" has always been a favorite of mine; and Steve treats this ballad with an infectious enthusiasm and a type of boyish playful energy that charms you instantly. Bob Mann plays guitar very well to enhance the beauty of "On The Sunny Side Of The Street," too. Listen closely and you'll also hear Steve improvising some of the lyrics, too--and this works well on this number.

"I Can't Get Started With You" lets Steve sing of how, despite financial and material success, he cannot be truly happy without his one true love. Once again Steve improvises some of the lyrics for a great effect. Awesome!

Steve's interpretation of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" sparkles; and the trumpet solos by Harry "Sweets" Edison and Clark Terry add color to this classic ballad. Joe Sample plays the piano magnificently, too.

"I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby" is another high point for this album; Steve's jazzy rendition infuses this standard with new depth and a type of vigor you just don't hear too often these days. Bob Mann plays great guitar as Bob Magnusson weaves magic on bass; Steve's vocals and the work of the band create a sublime rendition of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby." "Cheek To Cheek" boasts a great arrangement by Alan Pasqua; and Steve performs "The Way You Look Tonight" better than I've ever heard this number done.

Other high points on this CD include "I'll Be Seeing You" written by Sammy Fain and Irving Kahal; Steve plays with the tempo of the vocals ever so slightly to add an extra touch of class to "I'll Be Seeing You." In addition, "Smile," the last track, features a harmonica solo by "Toots" Thielemans that shines like pure gold. I wish Steve had performed "Smile" at just a slightly slower tempo; but "Smile" reflects good judgment nevertheless.

The liner notes include great black and white photos of Steve and the members of the band; and Steve writes a few words thanking the numerous people who helped make this album a reality. Burt Bacharach personally adds a small tribute to Steve as well.

It is increasingly rare that an artistic male singer of our times is bold enough to tackle the older standards the way Steve does; and the way Steve makes it seem so easy proves that he has a special gift to share with us. I would highly recommend this CD for Steve Tyrell fans; and anyone who enjoys classic pop vocals will love this CD as well.

Enjoy!

A New Standard builds on the popularity of Steve Tyrell's appearances in the Father of the Bride movies. In addition to "The Way You Look Tonight" (from the Father of the Bride soundtrack) and "Give Me the Simple Life" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street" (from Father of the Bride, Part II), the album features Tyrell singing 14 more standards in a casual, gravel-throated style. A New Standard includes the final recorded performances of trumpet great Harry "Sweets" Edison, who solos on "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and "I've Got the World on a String." Other notable guests include Clark Terry, Plas Johnson, Joe Sample, and Toots Thielemans. But the real keys to the album's success are the impeccably crafted arrangements of rhythm guitarist Bob Mann and Tyrell's unpretentious, warm-hearted vocal delivery. In contrast to so many neoswing wannabes, Tyrell approaches these timeless tunes with the R&B-bred soul of a gray-haired baby boomer who's just discovered his parents' record collection. In the jazzbo tradition of Louis Armstrong and Jack Sheldon, he doesn't try to blow anyone away with his chops. He just sings the songs with an infectious enthusiasm and easy swing that's impossible to dislike. --Rick Mitchell
