Music reviews of I'll Take Romance
Music Review: "Just Play The Melody", As Jackie Gleason Said
Rating: 3 Stars
I bought this disc awhile ago, and in fact it arrived on the same day as an instructional package by the steel guitar instructor Jeff Newman (who tragically was killed in an ultralight crash about a month later.)The Newman DVD/CD/Book set was entitled "Just Play The Melody" , after a quote by Jackie Gleason (whose moniker he misspelt as 'Jacky'...we'll forgive the transgression!).
How ironic, because if Jeff Newman (no jazzer!) had played on this record it would have improved it substantially. Jazz musicians left to their own devices are there, most of them, to show off their chops and take the music 'out there', and while Susannah's fans delight in calling her a 'jazz singer', the key to her success is that she isn't a jazz singer in the modern sense, any more than Frank Sinatra or even Merle Haggard.
If you want to hear someone who can sing pretty well herd cats with an out there band, there are examples out there-the Jazz Passengers come to mind-but Susannah wasn't pretty good, she was about the best in the business at that point, and just as Sinatra would have smacked someone or walked off if someone went Miles Davis on him, SMCC should have as well.
Perhaps she was just stretching herself for fun, and if so, I hope she had a good time...but as a record of good songs to listen to, this one may not be it.I recommend it only to obsessives and completists or the hard-boiled bop jazz fans.
