Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075678320927 Label: Atlantic / Wea Manufacturer: Atlantic / Wea MPN: 83209 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Atlantic / Wea Release Date: September 21, 1999 Studio: Atlantic / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A New Standard builds on the popularity of Steve Tyrell's appearances in the Father of the Bride movies. In addition to "The Way You Look Tonight" (from the Father of the Bride soundtrack) and "Give Me the Simple Life" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street" (from Father of the Bride, Part II), the album features Tyrell singing 14 more standards in a casual, gravel-throated style. A New Standard includes the final recorded performances of trumpet great Harry "Sweets" Edison, who solos on "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and "I've Got the World on a String." Other notable guests include Clark Terry, Plas Johnson, Joe Sample, and Toots Thielemans. But the real keys to the album's success are the impeccably crafted arrangements of rhythm guitarist Bob Mann and Tyrell's unpretentious, warm-hearted vocal delivery. In contrast to so many neoswing wannabes, Tyrell approaches these timeless tunes with the R&B-bred soul of a gray-haired baby boomer who's just discovered his parents' record collection. In the jazzbo tradition of Louis Armstrong and Jack Sheldon, he doesn't try to blow anyone away with his chops. He just sings the songs with an infectious enthusiasm and easy swing that's impossible to dislike. --Rick Mitchell Average Rating:
 Rating: - mellow, jazzy mood music This is a great cd. The jazzy, easy listening mood music has at once a warm and a sophisticated style. Great selection of songs. I'm giving it as a Christmas gift to all the friends who've enjoyed it at my house! Chris Lindley Rating: - Great Easy Listening MusicWe were in an Italian restaurant and a CD was playing. The restaurant owner told me who the singer was and as soon as I got home I looked him up on Amazan. I love the entire CD. Alot of times you can order a CD and only like a few songs but all the songs on this CD are great. Rating: - another great oneSteve Tyrell has a way of bringing back the good old days of romantic music. Really enjoy his smooth and easy way of singing. A real pleasure listening to. Rating: - Discover a Mature, Eclectic Pop Star-Sit Back and RelaxI had never seen nor heard of Steve Tyrell until one day I turned the remote to one of those music marquee cable channels way up in the 600's. I saw the countenance of an older, smile face and then I heard this gentleman, Steve Tyrell sing On The Sunny Side of the Street like the crooners of the Big Band era yet with a throaty, raspy voice that was actually positively endearing. As usual considering my modus operandi in these cases, I went to the net to look him up. It seems that Steve is a high ...

I agree with Amazon when they state that he sings with the enthusiasm of an older baby boomer who just discovered his parents' record collection. All throughout this CD, Steve sings remarkably well and his slightly gravely voice exudes energy and masculine warmth. The CD track set begins with two songs from the movie entitled Father Of The Bride, Part II. "Give Me The Simple Life" signals the beginning of a CD that ... Read More |
