Jimmy Scott's "Doesn't Love Mean More?" LP getting reissued by Modern Harmonic

Legendary singer Jimmy Scott's overlooked 1990 album Doesn't Love Mean More? is getting a welcome re-release from Modern Harmonic in July. 

Here's the scoop from Modern Harmonic...

Step into the Red Room with us... you may remember Jimmy Scott as the angelic voice in Twin Peaks. We're thrilled to announce the reissue of Doesn't Love Mean More? is coming to stores July 17th! 

Jimmy Scott's distinct high register, contralto voice has been heard in David Lynch's Twin Peaks, and on the turntables of his fans Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Madonna and more. Recorded in 1990, and previously only available directly from Jimmy at his shows, this album finally gets its due! Newly remastered and featuring a booklet chock full of photos and liner notes!

For a while, Jimmy was everywhere: performing on the final episode of Twin Peaks’ initial run, and at the wedding of super fans Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin; attending the GRAMMYs when another one of his albums, All the Way, was nominated for Best Jazz Vocal Performance; singing at Bill Clinton’s 1993 inaugural ball and on the soundtrack of huge 1994 film Philadelphia; appearing in the Ethan Hawke-directed Chelsea Walls alongside the likes of Uma Thurman and Kris Kristofferson, and in a video for Madonna, who described him as “the only singer who makes me cry.”

In Doesn’t Love Mean More? You can hear why Jimmy evokes such strong emotion from listeners.  Like a doting parent with a newborn infant, Scott cradles and caresses each note with emotional intention. Having learned bebop from the best as a young man, he was a master at subverting the tyranny of beats and bar lines, elongating or shortening his notes as his muse demanded. His phrasing was so advanced and exploratory that it could make others fearful, but every melody was under expert control.
