Michael Buble, Move Over!!
Bill A. Jones proves ready to share the stage with the other cast members of GLEE in his debut CD, "Frankly."
Backed by a Swingin' Big Band, Bill breathes fresh life into 9 timeless songs indelibly linked to the legacy of Frank Sinatra. On three 'Live' recordings, you taste the excitement of this performer 'in person' on such classics as Bobby Darin's "Mack The Knife," Dean Martin's "Ain't That A Kick In The Head," and Nat Cole's "Walkin' My Baby Back Home." Drawing from the best material from the Great American Songbook, selections include songs written by Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Sammy Cahn, Cy Coleman, and more.
This CD is highly recommended for fans of Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Harry Connick Jr., Michael Buble and the classic sounds of the great Standards as accompanied by a full Big Band.
More Reviews:
"Your CD is the best swing album we've heard in a long time. The big band arrangements behind you are terrific and the album is perfectly mixed. Your phrasing is as solid as Frank's and had you been on the scene back then... well, you'd have been up there with the best of 'em."
--Robert Mills, former writer for Bob Hope & Author of "The Laugh Makers."
“This man is a singer to be heard any time, anywhere. Remember his name -- it will be reckoned with.”
--Valley Jazz Review
