With a songbook containing a dozen songs by Billy Joel (New York State
Of Mind, Lester Young (Jumpin' With Symphony Sid), Harry Warren (Lullaby Of Broadway), Billy Strayhorn (Take The A Train), Mann & Weil (On Broadway), Leonard Bernstein (New York New York / Broadway) and many more songs about the most vibrant city in the USA. Sung over the backdrop of a tightly energetic small jazz band, Ron Kaplan offers his interpretations of these standards. His close miked intimate vocal styling suits the jazz bar or lounge, or at home, it would be lost in a concert hall. The album is beautifully recorded and mixed, it sounds like the musicians and singer are in the room with you. If you enjoy old school jazz singers then check out Ron Kaplan, he continues that legacy.
