REVIEW
The great Kenny Rankin makes a subtle shift in stylistic focus on this label debut, titled A Song for You. The recording shows just how rewarding the marriage of songs from the Great American Songbook with the smooth jazz style can be when played by a talent of Rankin's stature. His singing explores new musical trails on such great compositions as Harold Arlen's "When the Sun Comes Out," the Lorenz Hart favorite "She Was Too Good to Me," and "Love Walked In" by George & Ira Gershwin. Rankin also reprises his vocal version of "'Round Midnight," the Thelonious Monk standard previously released on his 2001 CD Haven't We Met?. This vocal version is performed with harmonically viable guitar strumming, with Rankin making it a much easier task than one who may be trying to de-emphasize the difficult piano stylings associated with Monk. Other songs deserving noteworthy mention are the subtle sensuality of "Spanish Harlem" and "I've Just Seen a Face" by Lennon/McCartney. The results of this great variety of musical planning are distinctly even and make for nearly an hour of great smooth jazz fused with excellent material from the songbooks of some of the world's greatest composers. ~ by Paula Edelstein, AMG
Before listening to "Song for You", my favorite Kenny cd was "After the Roses". This one surpasses even it. I can't tell you how relaxed and effortlessly he performs each song, and each one left me wanting more just like it. The title song "A Song for You" is an updated, haunting version of The Carpenter's popular rendition years ago. I will never understand why Kenny Rankin hasn't attained the popularity that James Taylor has . . . he has a much better voice than James. ~ by Sue Ann Holcomb, Amazon.com
I have listened to Kenny for about 30 years and he has always been that unique talent and voice that was a cut above the rest. This compilation is the best that he has ever put together. I have seen him in concert several times. He mesmerizes his audience and his voice is as fresh as it was all of those years ago. He is honest and open about himself and shares that with his listeners. Where Do You Start,I've Just Seen a Face,Spanish Harlem and Then I'll Be Tired of You are as good as it gets in touching the soul and setting a mood. They take you to another place. Kenny and his voice and guitar are pure genius and he understands that it is a gift and shares it with us. This is the best at his best. Thank you Kenny. ~ By Jonesville Bill, Amazon.com
Veteran vocalist Kenny Rankin, in my opinion, has been variously misclassified, misassigned in terms of where he belongs as a performer for far too long. The knee jerk reaction to his material, on record and in concert, is that he was more a soft rock singer than a singer/songwriter, with occasional performance references to entries from the Great American Songbook. But even a cursory look at the play list of many of his albums doesn't support that assessment. Even those albums which he recorded for his Private Music label are more than just spotted with standards. Methinks reviewers confuse substance with technique. Rankin likes to play with the songs he sings. He changes notes, alters phrases and does things that are unexcepted.
And with his tender, flexible, expressive and very personal voice he is fortunate to have, why shouldn't he exercise as much artistic latitude and discretion as the music will allow? His "Where Do You Start?" is eons away from Shirley Horn's but just as valid. And since he sings the cream of the compositional crop, opportunities for discretion and latitude abound. Listen to his spacing and the way he manipulates (using the word nicely) "When the Sun Comes Out". Similarly on "Then I'll Be Tired of You" as his voices wends in and out of the clean strummed, you can hear every note guitar strumming of guest guitarist Russell Malone.
Also, the orchestrations of Alan Broadbent and John Beasley are perfectly attuned to support Rankin's special way of doing the music. The singer also relies heavily on the guitar to provide his instrumental padding and harmonies. Spinozza does most of the work here. But Rankin reminds us he was more than a credible guitarist by accompanying himself on "A Song for You". Chris Potter's tenor adds quite a bit to the interpretation of "When the Sun Come Outs". But for the most, horns don't have a big role in this session.
Over his career, Rankin has been compared to this singer and to that one. But he needs no validation through comparison. His voice and his technique are sufficient evidence of his considerable talent. Recommended. ~ By DAVE NATHAN, allaboutjazz.com
