AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow This CD combines together parts of two sessions recorded in Tokyo by the warm ballad singer Johnny Hartman. Although titled For Trane, the vocal recital only has three songs associated with John Coltrane ("My Favorite Things," "Violets for Your Furs," and "Nature Boy") and the majority of the selections are actually taken from an unrelated session in which Hartman was matched with trumpeter Terumasa Hino. The music alternates between ballads ("Violets for Your Furs" and "The Nearness of You" are high points) and swingers and, although Hartman does not really improvise, his voice (still in its prime at the time) is appealing. Considering his slim discography, Johnny Hartman's fans will definitely want this one.

Johnny talks better than most singers sing.. Did you ever hear him just talk.. You knew this man just was born to sing. I love him, Arthur Prysock & Billy Eckstine, but I could never pick one over the other... All three, as good as it gets.

I wouldn't fight anybody who said he was the greatest singer. I woudln't always agree. There's many other contenders. But he is one. There's a park named after him in Manhattan. I wouldn't fight anybody who wanted to name the entire island after him. Still, 7 minutes and change is a long runtime for a song that short, and he doesn't sing the opening verse. Well, that's not the kind of rendition he's doing. This isn't theatrical. He's not playing a role. He's exposing his soul.
