User Reviews: Moody's Mood for Love [Blue Note]

  • Overall:

    Very good sampling

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 6, 2001

    This is an excellent stepping off point for anyone interested in the music of King Pleasure. Some tracks are not as "important" as others (ie were not as popular), but it runs the gammut of the style of the artist [even though some popular titles lik...e billie's bounce are not on there] Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Moody's Mood for Love [Blue Note]

  • All Music Guide

    The bulk of this CD reissue contains King Pleasure's final recording session, a 1962 set with unidentified personnel (other than tenor saxophonist Seldon Powell). A few remakes ("I'm in the Mood for Love" and "Don't Get Started") are joined by originals, a couple of straightforward tunes, and some newer vocalese arrangements. In addition, this CD has two previously unreleased numbers and six selections from very rare singles put out by Aladdin and Jubilee during 1956. Highlights overall include "Jazz Jump," "Sometimes I'm Happy," "Mean to Me," "D.B. Blues" and "All of Me." It is easy to acquire the complete King Pleasure, since everything he recorded has now been reissued on three CDs; all are recommended.

Biography

King Pleasure

Along with Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure was one of the early masters of vocalese -- a style in which lyrics are written and sung to the solos of jazz instrumentalists. Although Pleasure cited Jefferson as his main influence and said that Jefferson was embracing vocalese before him, Pleasure's sax-like phrasing and scat singing proved equally influential.
