Verve Acoustic Sounds Series 180-Gram Black Vinyl LP in Tip-On Gatefold Jacket

This Verve Acoustic Sounds Series edition of The Voice That Is! was mastered from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings. The single LP sits in a tip-on gatefold jacket that carries the 1964 Impulse! front cover, Stereo A-74 roundel and all, with the orange-and-black Impulse! label on the disc.

Hartman cut the album in September 1964 at Rudy Van Gelder's studio with producer Bob Thiele. It was his third and final album for Impulse!, the label that had paired him with John Coltrane the year before. Bob Hammer arranged two sessions: one with Hank Jones on piano, Richard Davis on bass and Osie Johnson on drums, and one for octet, where English horn, flute, marimba and Latin percussion color the charts.

The program mixes standards with what Verve calls contemporary material. "Sunrise, Sunset" came from Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's Fiddler on the Roof, "My Ship" from Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin's Lady in the Dark, and "It Never Entered My Mind" from Rodgers and Hart's Higher and Higher. Bill Evans' "Waltz for Debby" and Henry Mancini's "A Slow Hot Wind," which Verve notes as an early vocal reading of the tune, share the record with "These Foolish Things."

Hartman came up through the big bands of Earl Hines and Dizzy Gillespie in the late 1940s. His next album, Unforgettable Songs by Johnny Hartman, appeared on ABC-Paramount, the parent label of Impulse!.
