About In a Sentimental Mood: Mathis Sings Ellington

In a Sentimental Mood: Mathis Sings Ellington is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on October 9, 1990, by Columbia Records and continues the studio album pattern that began with The Hollywood Musicals and In the Still of the Night in which the song selections adhere to a specific theme or focus. In 1992 this project earned Mathis a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, his first nod from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in over 30 years. His only previous nomination was for "Misty" in the category of Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. This is the first Mathis album whose release did not include the LP record format, which was discontinued earlier in the year. more »
