Band Members: Nino Tempo is best known as a Virtuoso jazz saxophonist and half of the celebrated April Stevens & Nino Tempo singing duo (their 1963 hit "Deep Purple" on Atco Records soared to 1 on the Billboard charts, and the following year they won a coveted Grammy Award for Best Rock And Roll Recording.)A Legend in the music Industry, Nino Tempo's patented velvet sound is on a par with the likes of such fondly-remembered giants as Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, and Stan Getz.L.A. Times Jazz critic Leonard Feather said in 1993 "Tempo is at his most eloquent as a purveyor of balladry." Nothing could be closer to the truth.In Nino Tempo More Than You Know, Nino sings solo and backs himself as a sideman for the very first time in his entire career on the Eliscu/Rose/Youmans classic "More Than You Know", resulting in a very personal experience for the listener.Nobody sings quite like Nino Tempo, and nobody plays the tenor saxophone quite like he does.Throughout his long and exciting career, Nino has never recorded vocally as a soloist, and certainly never backed himself with his saxophone as a sideman. In Nino Tempo More Than You Know, he's done both. Not surprisingly, his vocal stylings closely resemble his well chosen notes on his horn.For Nino Tempo fans and selective music lovers, here's one you simply must have. All of Nino's emotions become obviously crystal clear in this recording. His sound and his voice provide a window into his inner soul more than you know.Produced by Nino Tempo for Dejavu Record Company; Release date: November 1, 2007.DEJAVU RECORD COMPANY product is distributed by THE ORCHARD, New York, N.Y.
