Though he was never the most distinctive vocalist, Johnny Hartman rose above others to become the most commanding, smooth balladeer of the 1950s and ’60s, a black crooner closely following Billy Eckstine and building on the form with his notable jazz collaborations. This album featuring performances recorded in 1964 for the Impulse! label.Ballad singer Johnny Hartman’s third and final Impulse session is not quite on the same level as the first two. Although the earlier of the two sessions has several near-classic performances (including “My Ship,” “Waltz for Debby,” and “It Never Entered My Mind”), the second date has weaker material, primarily several songs from movies or shows, including “Sunrise, Sunset.” Hartman is in fine form whether backed by the Hank Jones quartet or accompanied by an octet arranged by pianist Bob Hammer, but this set is not as essential as his earlier meetings with John Coltrane and Illinois Jacquet.
