Johnny Hartman was the
quintessential romantic balladeer.
The only singer to record with John
Coltrane, Hartman was mostly known
only to true jazz lovers during his
lifetime. It took a movie
soundtrack, “The Bridges of Madison
County” -- released 12 years after
his death -- that took Hartman to
the top of the jazz charts.
Hartman was a master of emotional
expression, putting everything he
had into every word he sang. With
any other vocalist, performing a
love song with this kind of
intensity could easily come across
as being over the top or gushing,
but Hartman's rich, masculine
baritone voice never wavered in its
sincerity.
Kevin Mahogany
When Kevin Mahogany cut his first
records in the early and mid-‘90s,
he was generally regarded as a
welcome anomaly: a young male jazz
vocalist in a field where most of
his colleagues were either women, or
men over 60. With a voice
reminiscent of the late Joe
Williams, Mahogany has since
established himself as a leader and
an innovator in vocal jazz—for
either gender and for any
generation.
Kevin brings his tribute to Johnny
Hartman to the MIAMI JAZZ PARTY.
