In a Sentimental Mood is the twelfth album by New Orleans singer and pianist Dr. John. There are some fine musical performances like 'Accentuate The Positive' with a notable edgy and cool sax solo by Joel Peskin. There are some true 'oldies but goodies', songs by Johnny Mercer, Duke Ellington and Cole Porter. Dr. John has evolved into a vocal stylist and piano virtuoso, which makes the idea of doing this sort of material appealing. And he does it well, turning out a leisurely duet with Rickie Lee Jones on 'Makin' Whoopee' that won a Grammy (Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Duo or Group), and giving sad feeling to 'My Buddy' featuring Marcus Miller (bass) and Jeff Porcaro (drums). Tracklist: 1. Makin' Whoopee! 2. Candy 3. Accentuate The Positive 4. My Buddy 5. In A Sentimental Mood 6. Black Night 7. Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin' 8. Love For Sale 9. More Than You Know.
