Album · 1991 · 13 Songs. While he'd flirted with contemporary pop material and production on his previous record, this outing found Jones returning to his strengths, embracing the Gershwin brothers' section of the Great American Songbook
If you are familiar with the LOVE BOAT theme, you know the bell-toned baritone of Jack Jones. His clarity in rendering a ballad is well applied in this album of Gershwin standards. These 1992 recordings sound remarkably fresh, even though the tunes are 60-70 years old and have been recorded countless times. Jones simultaneously presents them as cabaret performances and as art songs. His interpretation of "But Not for Me" is exquisitely sensitive, showing touching restraint.
Another recent album is Jack Jones Paints a Tribute to Tony Bennett (Honest Entertainment, released in 1999), that was nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year. In March 2008, Jones celebrated his 70th birthday, and a half-century in show business with a concert at the McCallum Theatre (Palm Springs). Guests included Patti Austin, Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman. In 2010, he recorded an album focusing on the Bergmans' work called Love Makes The Changes. He also released an album featuring new renderings of some of his original hits entitled Love Ballad. I Am a Singer (1987, USA Music Group). The Gershwin Album (1992, Sony). Live at the London Palladium (1995, Emporio). New Jack Swing (1997, Honest).
