When he died at the age of 83 in October 2015, the local papers were restrained in their obituaries. For many jazz fans and cognoscenti, singer Mark Murphy was vastly underrated; they are right, as his prolific six-decade-long artistic career attests: during that career Murphy exhibited an inventive stylistic range that covered blues to bebop on through to modern jazz. His 1967 MPS recording lands in the middle of his "European decade", and it is one of the most beautiful, striking documents of his skills. “Midnight Mood” is characterized by the sophisticated dialogue between voice and eight musicians from the Kenny Clarke Francy Boland Big Band, but it begins a cappella …….

    Wow!

    Wow, jazz vocals don't get any better than this. Whether joyously wailing an uptempo tune like Jump for Joy, or stepping slowly through a gem of a ballad such as My Ship Has Sailed, it's hard not to mourn the passing of Mark Murphy in 2015. I can't think of any other jazz singer who compares to this lyricism, imaginative jazz phrasing, and a great natural range. I love this album.

    The whole album is killer the definition of hipness with our hero backed up by a combo of Germans and American Ex-Pats Like the incredible Sihab Shihab (BS and FL) Listen to the third tune "Why and How" it will blow your hair back
