Fields sold the label in 1996 to Joel Dorn who released four compilation albums from Mark Murphy's Muse catalogue on the 32 Jazz label, Stolen...And Other Moments, Jazz Standards, Songbook, and Mark Murphy Sings Nat King Cole & More.
This release collects standards recorded by Murphy on his Muse albums covering the years of the Great American Songbook and beyond.
[3] And on "I Can't Get Started" he sings lyrics that Ira Gershwin wrote years after the song debuted in the Ziegfield Follies of 1936.
[3][6] Four Brazilian jazz standards are also contained in this collection from composers Antônio Carlos Jobim, Milton Nascimento, and Ivan Lins.
[3][7] Jason Elias, writing for AllMusic, says: "This compilation has Murphy coming into his own (around the early '70s) as a dramatic and often flawless stylist".
He calls the collection, "an excellent compilation that presents some of the finest and sometimes most emotionally draining of one of music's most talented and eclectic singers".
[9] In his book A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers, Will Friedwald says the four Muse anthologies issued by Joel Dorn show "the astonishing range and scope, not to mention sheer size, of the singer's seventies and eighties output".
The releases reveal "his output has been so consistently excellent—that so many of these records deserve to be regarded, in retrospect, as classics of the jazz vocal genre—and that even his occasional missteps are instructive".
