Johnny Hartman I Just Dropped By To Say Hello LP 1964 Impulse! AS-57 Hank Jones RVG Archival Sleeve
His best, these master musicians are there to support Johnny and there's a layer for him to float on.
I Just Dropped by to Say Hello is a studio album by jazz singer Johnny Hartman, released by Impulse! Records in 1964. It was the second of three albums Hartman recorded for Impulse!, and followed John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, recorded a few months earlier.
The second Impulse! session for ballad singer Johnny Hartman followed his classic collaboration with John Coltrane. Hartman is heard in peak form throughout these 11 pieces, which include "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," "Sleepin' Bee," "Stairway to the Stars," and even "Charade." Tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet is on five of the songs, guitarists Kenny Burrell and Jim Hall help out on a few tunes, and Hartman is consistently accompanied by pianist Hank Jones, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Elvin Jones. This is one of his finest recordings.
John Maurice Hartman (July 3, 1923 – September 15, 1983) was an American jazz singer, known for his rich baritone voice and recordings of ballads. He sang and recorded with Earl Hines' and Dizzy Gillespie's big bands and with Erroll Garner. Hartman is best remembered for his collaboration in 1963 with saxophonist John Coltrane, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, a landmark album for both him and Coltrane.
