Mark Murphy - Milestones

2017 release

"Mark Murphy was the finest, hippest male jazz singer I ever heard. And I heard him a lot. Okay don’t take my word for it. Dusty Springfield, Scott Walker, Peggy Lee, Betty Carter, Sammy Davis Jr and Matt Monro can also be listed among his close admirers, while Ella Fitzgerald was moved to declare: “He is my equal”. The recipient of the 1996, 1997, 2000, and 2001 Down Beat magazine readers jazz poll for Best Male Vocalist of the Year, the six-time Grammy nominee was also popular with the British record-buying public, and in the world section of the annual Melody Maker poll, Mark was voted runner-up to Sinatra in 1965 and 1966. Enjoy this superb 2CD compilation including Milestones, My Favourite Things and Why Don't You Do Right?"
