Although he's achieved most of his success as a producer and songwriter,
Steve Tyrell's debut album
A New Standard chooses not to showcase his skills at the latter, instead offering
Tyrell's vocal versions of twelve standards (including three that appeared in the film
Father of the Bride Part II). They're not really exceptional, but they are well done; the main problem is that these songs have been done before so many times, and while pleasant,
Tyrell's versions don't really offer anything new. Still, it is nice to hear musicians like
Toots Thielemans,
Joe Sample, and
Harry "Sweets" Edison.
