Description:
If there’s a romantic interlude, liason, special time with a special someone on your Valentine’s Day horizon, be sure to include this all-star anthology CD in your plans. It features 10 of the mellowest love songs ever written, performed by a veritable “Who’s Who in Jazz.”

For example, Chet Baker re-teams with Gerry Mulligan in an octet setting for nearly nine minutes of instrumental “Funny Valentine” magic. Recorded in concert at Carnegie Hall in 1974, the performance also features memorable ensemble and solo work by Bob James, Ron Carter, Harvey Mason, John Scofield, Dave Samuels and Ed Byrne.

I don’t know about you, but I still get lost in love whenever I hear Erroll Garner’s “Misty,” regardless of the Clint Eastwood film. Garner, who wrote the tune, is backed by a full orchestra, and his unique piano style evokes every iota of intimacy the memorable melody provides.

The sensual sax of Stan Getz whispers, teases and reminds us of love discovered as he purrs his way through “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face.” Trombonist Bob Brookmeyer, pianist Herbie Hancock, vibist Gary Burton, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Elvin Jones add their talents in this guaranteed-to-fog-your-lenses, steam-your-windows performance.

Paul Desmond, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis and more contribute to this “I’m In The Mood For Love” slo-dancin’, romancin’ collection.
