Description
A regular on the London scene for the last few years, vocalist Mark Jennett teamed up with renowned musician and producer Geoff Gascoyne on this set of sophisticated reinterpretations of 20th century standards from writers as diverse as Cole Porter and Randy Newman.
The arrangements encompass energetic swing and soulful balladry while embracing a range of styles from gospel and hip hop to bossa nova and even Motown-inflected pop. Coolly updated show tunes rub shoulders with radically altered 60s pop favourites.
Throughout the album Mark's classic approach to jazz singing matches the subtle complexity of Geoff's arrangements in which musical and emotional values are equally well served. As well as being in great demand as a musician, Geoff Gascoyne is well known for his production and arranging work with Jamie Cullum and others. More recently he produced Jacqui Dankworth's acclaimed 'Live to Love' album.
"This is a welcome release from a male singer who thankfully sideswipes the deluge of post Sinatra crooners - yet homage to the great swinging vocal tradition is ever present." - Ian Shaw
"Soulful and Exuberant" - Time Out
