Review: Marcus Goldhaber has a romantic, ballad voice which fits well with jazz standards. Some of these pleasant songs were composed and written by Marcus Goldhaber and Jon Davis.
There are seventeen songs in the CD collection. Among the songs are "No Moon At All," "I Get Along Without You Very Well," "Take Me," "With Plenty Of Money And You," "I Fall apart," "I Fall In Love Too Easily," "She Knows," "A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening," "My Ship," "When I Take My Sugar To Tea," among others.
With a total playing time of 75:11 minutes, the jazz listening audience is in for a treat! The vocals are expressive, and the musicians are in top notch form. The piano performances of Jon Davis are intricate, full of transitional complexity, and sharply etched jazz motifs. Martin Wind is excellent with his bass interpretations, and his sound is memorable. Marcello Pellitterri on drums and percussion adds further style and verve to the performances. The Jon Davis Trio sounds good as a group and with its individual solo performances. All in all, this is a very nice, easy to listen to jazz CD!
Each musician is a perfect accompaniment to the singer, and Marcus Goldhaber delivers in a refreshingly honest, mellow style of singing. Each listener will find their own favorites in this enjoyable collection.
Tracks: Each song reflects the talent of the vocalist and the musicians.
