Review

Grady Tate is renowned as a session drummer extraordinaire, having worked with just about everybody in the late '50s/early '60s, yet he has also displayed a warm, flexible, rhythmically agile baritone voice, which is less well-known than his drumming. Gary McFarland thought enough of Tate's singing voice to record a number of vocal albums for his short-lived Skye label in the mid 60s. One of the impressive vocal albums he did was Windmills of My Mind, a jazz/R&B release in 1968. This album underscores the fact that Tate was never a radical or abstract type of singer; the smooth, elegant crooner heard on 'And I Love Her', 'The Windmills Of Your Mind' and 'A Little At A Time' has a lot more in common with Johnny Hartman, Arthur Prysock and even Johnny Mathis than hardcore beboppers like Jon Hendricks, Babs Gonzales and Eddie Jefferson. Although Tate's backing includes pianist Herbie Hancock and bassist Bob Cranshaw, much of Windmills isn't jazz -- 'Don't Fence Me In' and 'Would You Believe', in fact, are pure 1960s soul music. El. 2005.Virtuoso American Jazz Drummer and Singer. Tracks Include "Windmills of Your Mind", "And I Love Her" and Many More.
