Never Let Me Go is a studio album by Mark Murphy.
Never Let Me Go is the 46th album by American jazz vocalist Mark Murphy. It was recorded and released in 2010 when Murphy was 77 years old. This album is a collection of standards and originals performed with a jazz trio. Murphy contributes original songs and lyrics.
Background
editPianist Misha Piatigorsky began playing with Mark Murphy in 2003 at Murphy's invitation.[1][2] Piatigorsky, winner of the 2004 Thelonius Monk Competition as a composer, became Murphy's music director for eight years.[3][4] This recording was suggested by Piatigorsky and drummer Chris Wabich and was Murphy's last studio album under his name.[1][5]
Recording
editMurphy recorded the songs in one take with no rehearsal. Piatigorsky said, "it was the most unbelievable musical experience that I ever had".[1] Murphy contributes one original, "I Know You from Somewhere", lyrics to Alan Broadbent's "Don't Ask Why", and he and the trio improvise the final track, "Murphy's Vamp". The rest of the songs are standards. Murphy had recorded and released all but 4 of the songs previously.[6]
"Never Let Me Go" was previously recorded by Murphy for Mark Murphy Sings The Nat King Cole Songbook Volume One. "Don't Ask Why" was previously recorded for "Links". "Photograph" was recorded by Murphy for Lucky To Be Me. Murphy covered "The Great City" on North Sea Jazz Sessions, Volume 5. "Inutil Paisagem (Useless Landscape)" was included on Mark Murphy – Live In Athens, Greece. And Murphy covered "I've Got You Under My Skin" on The Latin Porter and Wild and Free - Live at the Keystone Korner.[6]
Reception
editMurphy biographer Peter Jones said, "there is no escaping the fact that he sounds like a man approaching his 78th birthday".[1]
Journalist and jazz critic Doug Ramsey said, Murphy's "virtuosity has never been clearer than in this one. The songs are by Porter, Jobim, Evans, Broadbent and Murphy himself, among others. He brings to them deep musicianship and interpretive power. The supporting trio led by pianist Misha Piatagorsky is excellent".[7]
