Nothing, really: it's best just to have them sung, and sung well. That's exactly what Steve Tyrell did on his acclaimed 1999 album A New Standard, which matched the vocalist with seventeen classic American songs. The album went on to defy the skeptics, having reigned more than 18 months atop Billboard's Jazz Chart, while establishing Steve as one of today's premier singers of standards. Now Steve Tyrell returns with Standard Time, a new collection on Columbia Records, an even more self-assured account of sixteen immortal tunes from the great American songbook, including "It Had To Be You," "Until The Real Thing Comes Along," "Ain't Misbehavin'," "That Old Feeling," "Stardust," "What A Little Moonlight Can Do," "Someone To Watch Over Me," "Let's Fall In Love," and many more.   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info Personnel includes: Steve Tyrell, Jane Monheit (vocals); Plas Johnson (saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet, background vocals); Harry "Sweet" Edison (trumpet); Toots Thielemans (harmonica); Joe Sample, Kenny Asher, Alan Pasqua (piano); Bob Mann (guitar); Bob Cranshaw, Bob Magnusson, Chuck Berghoffer (bass); Alan Schawrtzberg (drums, percussion); John Guerin (drums); Bobby Ginsburg (percussion).

Steve Tyrell has had a long journeyman's career in the music business, serving as record company executive, songwriter, and producer. But no one could have predicted the twist his career took in the late '90s. After he sang standards on the soundtracks of the films Father of the Bride (1991) and Father of the Bride 2 (1995), he was signed up by Atlantic Records to make an album of similar material. A New Standard (1999), his debut album, was a sleeper, such that Atlantic cut him loose, but it was still in the traditional jazz charts two years after its release. Tyrell had joined a new wave of retro singers like Diana Krall and Jane Monheit, reinterpreting the same batch of interwar songs that traditional pop singers have been performing regularly since the 1950s. Columbia Records scooped him up, and Standard Time is more of the same. Hailing from Houston, Tyrell has the same Deep South/Southwest accent and the same raspy vocal tone as Dr. John and Leon Russell. His performances, accompanied by a small jazz band occasionally augmented by a small string or brass section, are excuses to set up solos by a group of traditional jazz veterans -- Clark Terry, Joe Sample, Plas Johnson, Toots Thielemans, and, in his final recording, Harry "Sweets" Edison. Other than giving the songs a slightly bluesy edge, the singer doesn't bring any particularly new element to his interpretations, and the soloists, with their slight variations on the melodies, don't find anything much new to say either. But then, the retro-jazz movement isn't about the shock of the new, it's about the reassurance of the old, and Tyrell, who has stumbled upon success after years in the wilderness, can't be faulted for enjoying himself in the studio with so many venerable talents. ~ William Ruhlmann Producer: Steve Tyrell Engineer: Jeffrey "Woody" Woodruff Musical Guests Clark Terry Plas Johnson Jane Monheit Joe Sample Harry "Sweets" Edison Toots Thielemans   Compilation Appearances Father Of The Bride Something's Gotta Give In My Own Backyard Martha Stewart Living Music: Jazz For the Holidays Martha Stewart Living Music: The Holiday Collection Regis Philbin Holiday Album Joy Of Christmas   Technical Info Release Date : 10/02/2001 Original Release Date : 2001 Catalog ID : 86006 Label : Columbia (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00696998600621    Product Image
