Reissued in 2003 with extra tracks and beautifully remastered sound, the FABULOUS SONGS OF JIMMY SCOTT, originally released in 1960, showcases Scott's stunning, inimitable voice. The vocalist suffered from Kallmann's Syndrome, which kept his voice perpetually at a high, pre-pubescent tenor, yet he parlayed his physical limitation into an exquisite instrument, and he was capable of rendering great emotional power in his deliveries.
FABULOUS SONGS OF JIMMY SCOTT contains some traditional numbers ("Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child") and some standards ("The Way You Look Tonight"), but all of the material is presented with a sophistication and passion that are uniquely Scott's. He is arguably at the height of his powers here (the control he holds over his vibrato is truly amazing), making FABULOUS one of the singer's best early recordings.

Vocalist Stacey Kent may or may not be "the greatest ballad singer in half a century," as her PR claims, but her straightforward renditions of these by-request ballads are not at all generic. What makes them consistently delightful is her unique sound and delivery. There's a certain brassiness, a trumpet-like pointedness, in her voice, as well as a host of endearing idiosyncrasies. Listen to her pronounce the word "idea" in George and Ira Gershwin's "Isn't It a Pity?" Or deliver these remarkable lyrics from the same song: "What joys untasted!/You, reading Heine/Me, somewhere in China." And later, "My nights were sour, spent with Schopenhauer." Kent knows how to make every tune ...

Bio: for 30 years Larkin has performed in concerts around the world. He was the featured soloist at the 3rd World Wilderness Congress held at Findhorn, Scotland; his music has played on national and international radio programs. His album, "O'cean" was featured on the first "Lights Out" recordings from KINK Radio in Portland, OR. His first album, "To The Essence of a Candle" has continued to sell 30 years since its release. His meditative style and the rainbow of colors achieved through his music are his signitures."Stariway to Emptiness" was inspired by the final minutes of most yoga classes where the students relax and breath and just allow their breath to carry them. For over 2 years Larkin played for this part of his yoga classes and the recording continues that theme. Solo bamboo bansuri flute is the only instrument.Reviews: "This music is so beautiful and poignant, I can only imagine what it is like to create such quiet powerful poetry with one's breath." Judy SorrelGetting ready for work the othr morning I slipped Larkin Stentz's new recording in my CD player. The wind and rain were playing their own composition, and I was hurring about; a guzzle ...
