Review

Rolling Stone (10/1/92, p.69) - 3.5 Stars - Good Plus - "..What's most bizarre about ALL THE WAY is that a man is singing from a male perspective but in a wholly female voice. In this bold setting, all tradition is intriguingly irrelevant.."
Down Beat (8/92, p.44) - 5 Stars - Excellent - "..one of the great jazz singers...his astonishing voice soars effortlessly in the alto range...he's back at age 67 with what may be his finest album ever...has a timeless feel.."
Musician (10/92, p.106) - "..depicts a canvas of heartbreak, loneliness and unrequited, hopeless love...ALL THE WAY is one of the most haunting vocal recitals you'll ever hear.."
Village Voice (11/3/92, p.89) - "..his major-label comeback has made a believer out of me.." - Rating: B
Jazziz (Dec.-Jan./92, p.94) - Picked by critic Josef Woodard as one of the 10 best jazz albums of 1992.

Title Note

Personnel: Jimmy Scott (vocals); Johnny Mandel (arranger); David "Fathead" Newman (saxophone); Kenny Barron (piano); John Pisano (guitar); Ron Carter (bass); Grady Tate (drums).

Includes liner notes by Jimmy McDonough.

It's hard to believe that prior to this 1992 "comeback," Little Jimmy Scott was a forgotten man. It took the death of the great R&B songwriter Doc Pomus and Scott's moving performance at the subsequent funeral to remind the music business of the talent who had been neglected and abused for nearly 40 years. As if to make up for past sins, Scott was given first-class treatment for the first time in his career--sterling production values, arrangements by the likes of Johnny Mandell, and finally the freedom to sing the great standards as only Little Jimmy could.

Songs like "Embraceble You" and "Angel Eyes" may be chestnuts, warhorses even, but Scott's deliciously prolonged phrasing makes hearing them here a fresh emotional experience. There's something truly religious about Scott's faith in these romantic tunes, enough to compel jaded modern ears to open up to the enduring message in an hymn to devotion like Alec Wilder's "I'll Be Around" or the Gershwin's pleaful "Someone to Watch Over Me."
