Editor's info:
For The Art of the Song, Charlie Haden not only set out to showcase quintessential tunes that are seldom performed but also to have their beautiful melodies be given voice by paragons of song. Featuring a chamber orchestra arranged, orchestrated and conducted by quartet member Alan Broadbent and the brilliant contributions of vocalists Shirley Horn and Bill Henderson, The Art of the Song is a lush, lyrical album that captivates with its sublime beauty and passionate delivery. The collection covers the stylistic gamut of fine songwriting, from standards associated with Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole to Broadway show and film tunes, plus two Haden compositions and his haunting vocal rendition of the classic folk tune "Wayfaring Stranger." The CD stands as one of the most alluring and gorgeous recordings of the bassist-bandleader-composer's career.
