The genre of this CD is often the subject of debate, especially within the vocal jazz community. Many artists hold that because Jones made few changes to the original melody and rhythm of the covered tracks such as "Turn Me On" and "The Nearness of You" that this album does not qualify as jazz, which entails some degree of interpretation/improvisation. "The Nearness of You" is a popular Song, written in 1938 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Ned Washington. Still, the presence of accomplished jazz musicians Bill Frisell, Adam Rogers, Brian Blade, and Sam Yahel, as well as the sophisticated jazz-influenced compositions of Jesse Harris, give the album a jazz feel. William Richard "Bill" Frisell (born March 18, 1951) is an American Guitarist and Composer. Adam Rogers is an American guitarist specializing in Post bop, Contemporary jazz, and Classical music. Brian Blade (born July 25, 1970 in Shreveport Louisiana) is an American Jazz Drummer and Composer.
