An Intimate Pairing of Two Jazz Masters: Matt Dennis and George Wallington’s “When We’re Alone”
The history of jazz is filled with wonderful collaborations, but some of the most magical are the more intimate, small-group settings where two masters can truly interact. A beautiful example of this is the album “When We’re Alone,” a special duet recording featuring the talents of vocalist and pianist Matt Dennis and the brilliant bop pianist George Wallington. We are looking at a pressing of this gem on the Spin-O-Rama label, with the catalog number S-160.
This album is a rare treat, pairing two distinct and celebrated figures from the world of jazz. Matt Dennis was known for his relaxed, sophisticated vocal style and his incredible talent as a songwriter, having penned standards like “Angel Eyes” and “Everything Happens to Me.” George Wallington, on the other hand, was a pioneering figure of the bebop movement, a pianist known for his intricate, fluid, and harmonically advanced playing.
“When We’re Alone” brings these two worlds together in a wonderfully intimate setting. The album is a collection of standards and Dennis’s own compositions, all performed with a relaxed, late-night feel. The interplay between the two musicians is a delight to hear. It’s a sophisticated and swinging session that is perfect for listeners who appreciate the finer points of vocal jazz and bebop piano. The album captures a warm, personal atmosphere, as if you are in a private club listening to two masters share their love for the music.
For any fan of classic vocal jazz, the bebop era, or simply beautifully played and heartfelt music, this album is a wonderful and essential discovery. You can find this album on our website.
