About the album

The parallels of John Coltrane teaming up with Johnny Hartman in 1963 are strikingly similar and yet very different when compared to Kirk Whalum’s newest recording with his brother Kevin, Romance Language. Both are, we feel, among the most romantic jazz albums of their respective eras. In addition to the legendary tune stack Kirk has added “Almost Doesn’t Count,” originally done by Brandy and interpreted here by another family member, Hugh “Peanuts” Whalum. The other three selections are for the purists—that is, the Kirk Whalum purists; Heather Headley’s “I Wish I Wasn’t,” Joe’s “I Wanna Know” and Eric Benet’s “Spend My Life With You.” Produced by Kirk Whalum & John Stoddart
Den Saxophon-Ton von Kirk Whalum kennt die ganze Welt - wenn auch kürzlich aus traurigem Anlass: Sein Solo ist zu hören auf Whitney Houstons Superhit 'I will always love you'! Aber auch seine anderen Mitwirkungen und eigenen Alben sind nicht zu verachten. Und doch ist diese CD eine ganz besondere für ihn: in Erinnerung an das legendäre Album John Coltrane´s mit Johnny Hartman hat er seinen jüngeren Bruder ins Studio gebeten: einen veritablen Sänger mit einer samtigen Stimme. Wie schon der Titel verspricht: Romantik pur!
