jazz1- You might want to "ponder" on over to Amazon or someplace and order the Mark Murphy Songbook. This is a collection of tunes from MM's Muse days to include some tracks from Satisfaction Guaranteed (Muse) which is no longer available. Listen LOUD, my friend. He inhabits his songs. He'll inhabit you with them, too, LOUD. Mess you up, dood.
Been listening to Mark Murphy for the last 20 years I do enjoy his music but I find his mannerism a little tiring and boring.
I much prefer him on slow ballads where he does not try to be too hip!
Then you must like Don't Go To Strangers/Don't Misunderstand from this, right? I used to think like that. . that's he's TOO hip, but I've come to think he is one of the best note benders ever. Truth be told, I was foolin around with my VTA over the weekend and this was handy. I was listening very loud so no nuance was escaping me. He has Sinatra and Joe Williams in there but it's his phrasing. I admire him for singing anything he feels passionate about like those two which are really women's songs to include Welcome Home. And the arrangements are superb on this. Think you oughta do what I did, old sport, listen again and loud. Worked for me. Nothin to lose. Cheers.

Ahhh . . and it's his use of half notes. So killer! Elling got all of that from Murphy. Cat oughta be paying him royalties. Sliding scales, too.
