Jimmy Scott - I'm Getting Sentimental Over You

Jimmy Scott (born July 17, 1925), aka "Little" Jimmy Scott, is an American jazz vocalist famous for his unusually high contralto voice that is both haunting and evocatively moving all at once. He is beyond category, an interpreter of ballads at tempos so languorous they seem practically motionless, hovering atmospherically in the air like the smoke in a barroom.

"I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" is from the 1992 album "All The Way" and is produced by Tommy Lipuma. It features such stellar accompanists as Kenny Barron, Ron Carter, Grady Tate and David "Fathead" Newman.

Scott was nominated for a Grammy Award for this album.

In 2007, Scott received the 2007 NEA Jazz Masters National Endowment of the Arts Jazz Master Award. Scott also received the Kennedy Center's "Jazz In Our Time" Living Legend Award, and N.A.B.O.B.'s Pioneer Award in 2007. In September 2008 he did a "two-day video interview" at his Vegas home with the "Smithsonian Institute for the National Archives".
