Enjoy your CDs in 7-inch-sized sleeves!\nWhether you display the artwork flat or in a frame, or store them neatly away, this nostalgic yet innovative packaging—packing the charm of CDs and liner notes into the size of an analog 7-inch single—is sure to appeal to collectors.\n\nA superb vocal album in which a legendary songwriter—creator of countless standards—sings his own masterpieces as if speaking directly to the listener. His unadorned, slightly nasal voice transports you to the good old days of America. A masterpiece of Pacific Jazz that epitomizes the essence of West Coast jazz. Why not surrender yourself to the exquisite swing crafted by top-tier jazz musicians?\n\n“Melodies aren’t written; they’re found,” said the genius melody maker, Hoagy Carmichael. The melodies he crafted are complex, yet somehow evoke the scent of Southern soil and a sense of nostalgia. This album is his greatest masterpiece, where you can fully savor his own “voice.” He certainly did not possess a beautiful voice. As he himself described it as a “nasal, flat voice,” his singing is intimate and overflowing with warmth, as if a close friend were speaking right next to you. The relaxed swing he delivers in classics like “New Orleans” and “Memphis in June” is the ultimate proof that he was an outstanding jazz musician in his own right. And the performance by the Pacific Jazzmen, which envelops his vocals, is simply superb. Jimmy Rowles’s stylish piano and Al Hendrickson’s delicate guitar weave through the spaces in Hoggy’s vocals to create an exquisite ensemble. Whether it’s a lazy afternoon or the end of the day when you want to unwind, put this CD on and you’ll be transported to the 1950s. A supremely sophisticated “adult moment” will quietly begin to flow through your room.\nNotes: All Days Editorial Department\u003c\/old\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oldays Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52745764962593,"sku":"4582239502297","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4582239502297.jpg?v=1779306506","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-us\/products\/4582239502297","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
