Love Songs

✅ This product is in New/Sealed Condition.

Amazon.com Truth and Devotion are two great smooth-jazz albums Hill released in the early '90s. They are pristine productions with quality tunes that display his singular sax tone and they made the Canadian a smooth-jazz star. However, his next four releases found him sliding into the tepid murk that many smooth-jazz musicians swim through to make radio programmers happy. Plus, he fell in love with his just-average singing voice and the concept of love, all of which could make smooth-jazz fans leery of a Hill disc filled with love songs. Actually, this is a rebound for Hill, as his choice of cover tunes and arrangements are inspired, particularly the upbeat version of the Chi-Lites' "Oh Girl" and "Fallen," Lauren Wood's classic anthem from the film Pretty Woman. He takes an acceptable Chet Baker-like vocal turn on the first part of "My Funny Valentine" and sings wonderfully on his original bossa nova, "Dancing with You," featuring Marc Antoine on guitar. There is still some sap flying here, but Love Songs delivers on some of the unfulfilled saxophone promise of Hill's early work. --Mark Ruffin
