Mark Murphy

DIGIPACK EDITION

Midnight Mood is characterized by the sophisticated dialogue between voice and eight musicians from the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland-Big band, Murphy welcomes us with Duke Ellington’s Jump For Joy as he walks the vocal tightrope without a net. His 1967 MPS recording lands in the middle of his "European decade", and it is one of the most beautiful, striking documents of his skills
