Jazz Standards On 180g Vinyl LP!
Outstandingly true genius, not only vocally but musically as well. This album showcases jazz standards of the past and present and presents them in a unique and listenable style with great arrangements.
Ingram Washington's distinctive baritone voice exhibits the smoothness of Billy Eckstine while his vocal styling shows a touch of Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. It is no surprise that Ingram has such a large following in Western Europe. The album includes some dreamy romantic ballads like the hauntingly beautiful Rogers and Hart composition "My Funny Valentine" and the Nat King Cole classic "Unforgettable".
"All in all a perfect LP for both lovers of sophisticated swing and dreamy, romantic ballads from this American vocalist and his international group of gifted jazz musicians, who are based in the Netherlands. I enjoyed reminiscing over the good old days, when these songs were at the height of their popularity and wish everyone as much listening pleasure with this album as I have experienced." - Hans Frijling, Music lover and host of the radio programme Jazzcorner, Amsterdam, February 2007
"An outstanding LP! Ingram Washington's distinctive baritone voice exhibits the smoothness of Billy Eckstine while his vocal styling shows a touch of Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra... Like many great jazz singers, Ingram Washington understands his songs not only from a singer's but also from a musician's perspective. This enables him to shape songs to his own style. The words and melodies may be familiar standards, but these tunes are all Ingram." - Charlie Horner, Music Historian (USA), President MILLS Brothers Society
