frogmanPink lady are my favorite. A little bit tart like a granny smith but sweet also.
I have to agree with you and disagree with O10. concerning putting lyrics to Maiden Voyage and Round Midnight.
I I enjoyed the scat singing on the maiden voyage cut O10 posted but to me the lyrics written fit the song very well. The lyrics suggest of a first love and the journey taken.
Not surprising that you and the OP are in disagreement😁
Re: Mark Murphy I love his vocal phrasing especially on Maiden Voyage where he uses his vocal phrasing to syncopate and really make the song Swing.
Randy Brecker's solo on "on the red clay "is terrific.
seems like Randy Brecker got most of the solo space on those two cuts from that LP. Was he considered better than Michael Brecker at the time that album came out? this Mark Murphy cut of a well kn own standard from another LP is one of my favorites. And believe it or not I like Mark Murphy's ballad Renditions even more than his up-tempo work.
