Description
The tiny breath before the word “hello” on the title track tells you how close Johnny Hartman is to the mic. This early-60s Impulse! set finds him easing through ballads with that mahogany baritone, intimate but firm. Charade glides rather than swoons, his phrasing unhurried over a hushed rhythm section. In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning becomes a late-night confession, every consonant shaped like velvet. As a pressing, this LP opens up more air around the voice, and the low end sits deeper without clouding the piano. Imaging keeps brushes and keys precisely where they should be, so Hartman’s lines never feel crowded. File it next to his Coltrane collaboration on your shelf, bridging early-60s Impulse! ballad craft with classic crooner intimacy. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Johnny Hartman records online with us. It’s a go-to for a quiet dinner or a late drive when conversation and music need to share the room. Sleeve lovers will appreciate the crisp art reproduction and tasteful layout. We reach for this when someone asks for romance without syrup, polish without fuss. Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
