It's hard to believe that prior to this 1992 "comeback," Little Jimmy Scott was a forgotten man. It took the death of the great R&B songwriter Doc Pomus and Scott's moving performance at the subsequent funeral to remind the music business of the talent who had been neglected and abused for nearly 40 years. As if to make up for past sins, Scott was given first-class treatment for the first time in his career--sterling production values, arrangements by the likes of Johnny Mandell, and finally the freedom to sing the great standards as only Little Jimmy could.
Songs like "Embraceble You" and "Angel Eyes" may be chestnuts, warhorses even, but Scott's deliciously prolonged phrasing makes hearing them here a fresh emotional experience. There's something truly religious about Scott's faith in these romantic tunes, enough to compel jaded modern ears to open up to the enduring message in an hymn to devotion like Alec Wilder's "I'll Be Around" or the Gershwin's pleaful "Someone to Watch Over Me."
Includes liner notes by Jimmy McDonough.
Personnel: Jimmy Scott (vocals); Johnny Mandel (arranger); David "Fathead" Newman (saxophone); Kenny Barron (piano); John Pisano (guitar); Ron Carter (bass); Grady Tate (drums).
Rolling Stone (10/1/92, p.69) - 3.5 Stars - Good Plus - "..What's most bizarre about ALL THE WAY is that a man is singing from a male perspective but in a wholly female voice. In this bold setting, all tradition is intriguingly irrelevant.."
Down Beat (8/92, p.44) - 5 Stars - Excellent - "..one of the great jazz singers...his astonishing voice soars effortlessly in the alto range...he's back at age 67 with what may be his finest album ever...has a timeless feel.."
Musician (10/92, p.106) - "..depicts a canvas of heartbreak, loneliness and unrequited, hopeless love...ALL THE WAY is one of the most haunting vocal recitals you'll ever hear.."
Village Voice (11/3/92, p.89) - "..his major-label comeback has made a believer out of me.." - Rating: B
Jazziz (Dec.-Jan./92, p.94) - Picked by critic Josef Woodard as one of the 10 best jazz albums of 1992. Jimmy Scott All The Way Songs All The Way Review

Here's why all serious music lovers still need a turntable: there are so many worthwhile LPs from the '60s and '70s that will probably never be reissued on CD. Before Avenue Records came into the picture, it seemed unlikely that Lee Oskar's solo albums of 1976-1980 would ever be reissued on CD -- labels usually reissue titles they think there is a heavy demand for, and Oskar's solo efforts weren't the mega-blockbusters that War's albums were. But Avenue pleasantly surprised listeners in the '90s by making Oskar's solo output available on CD, including 1978's Before the Rain. Did this album outsell War classics like Why Can't We Be Friends? and All Day Music? Hardly. Reissued in 1995, this mostly instrumental album deserved to come back into print simply because it is good. From a commercial standpoint, the problem with Before the Rain is that it's difficult to categorize -- is it funk, pop-jazz, quiet storm, or fusion? Arguably, Before the Rain is all of those things, and Oskar's harmonica playing is expressive whether he is getting mildly funky on "Steppin'" or being mellow and laid-back on "More Than Words Can Say" and the title track. "Steppin'" certainly isn't typical of funk instrumentals; the tune opens with bagpipes -- not exactly an instrument that one ordinarily associates with funk. But then, Oskar is no stranger to multiculturalism; how many harmonica players who were born in Copenhagen, Denmark, went on to play with one of the top soul/funk bands of the '70s? Before the Rain may not have set the world on fire when it was first released in 1978, but it was cer
