Elvis Presley - City by Night ( is it a Jazz record ?)

Close enough for Jazz - 'City By Night' and 'Almost In Love'.

Not really, but sort of close in a lounge lizard way. I think New Orleans is closer. Always wondered how Elvis would have done Mack The Knife or a real jazz standard. I dont think he cared much for that style of music and it is one area where he is not King of all music.

I think, Elvis himself said himself in an interview that he doesn't understand Jazz, not that he diesn't like it, just that he doesn't "understand it".

Close enough for Jazz - 'City By Night' and 'Almost In Love'.

You should contact Gary Giddins and see if he agrees.
