Tony Middleton

Tony’s 84th Birthday at Kitano

Jazz at Kitano, NYC, July 21, 2018

Surrounded by a quartet of stalwart jazz musicians and dressed in the finest white tails these eyes have seen, Tony Middleton put on a jazz class that went beyond most acts. His smooth lyrics and careful touch of improvisation blended well into the rhythms and movements of the sumptuous guitar (Ron Jackson), delightful piano (Jon Weber), peerless bass (Jim Cammack), and fluid drums (Dave Silliman) of his band, The Heat.

Allowing the instruments freedom to explore, Middleton always brought it home with some play on the chorus that had a wink-worthy feel.

He showed off his vocals throughout, often hinting at the sentimental as well as the more physical depictions of love. However, no moments were better than his work on “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever” and “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine.” Those were the types of songs that seemed to speak to Middleton’s years of experience and the wisdom learned from heartbreak, while simultaneously showcasing the youthful playfulness that characterized much of his humor. Crooning “On a clear day you can see forever,” seemed especially to speak to looking back as much as it did moving on. A point further reiterated in the latter song’s line “You’ll never find the rhythm, the rhyme/All the magic we shared, just us two.” These lyrics could just as easily be spoken directly between Middleton and his audience. He had a way of drawing us into his performance as part of his inspiration for his tone and style, but he did it without paying any attention to which of us had caught his eye.

Although it was one of his first songs, Middleton also gave us one of the best musical versions of bidding adieu with Cole Porter’s “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye.” While he’s probably said a number of goodbyes in his life, it was a treat to have him start his show with his resounding version of this classic jazz standard. He left us wanting a little more.
