recordings
A World That Swings follows the successful 2006 release of my debut CD, Vintage Pop and the Jazz Sides. Each album has influences from a number of great singer-song writers, vocalists and composers – Carol King, Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, and a new favorite, the mesmerizing English export, Adele, as well as Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Oscar Peterson, Dinah Washington, Tony Bennett and my life-long favorite Ella Fitzgerald.
It gives me great pleasure to present to you these recordings. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have recording them.
Arrived! A World That Swings. The title of this, my second recording, borrowed from one of the CD’s many swinging tracks is an expression of a personal notion that a musical and swinging world is just the place we would all like to live in. Like the title suggests this recording aims to sweep you into an up-tempo and swinging musical landscape. With more than a few classics and a couple of hot Brazilian jazz tracks, the song list also references my love of classic 60s pop with the inclusion of an unexpected Beatles’ classic.

My debut CD, Vintage Pop and the Jazz Sides is a compilation blending the musical worlds of jazz and pop. This collection includes songs immortalized by amazing vocalists that have inspired me as well as some original material such as "Close to Me." Here I explore ways of mixing styles to create something new. It's my hope that you'll hear something fresh and unique.
