Album Notes

I won a citywide cabaret competition a few years back which motivated me to develop a show that spent 3 years in the back of my mind. I was fortunate enough to do the show at the "The Plush Room," a critically acclaimed cabaret venue here in SF. I missed the songs and decided to make a recording. You are now here, hopefully on your way to owning said recording, entitled "Intimacy".

The show was almost 90 minutes of singing with more than a few jokes along the way . I didn't want to talk too much because I found songs that said everything I wanted to say . As you can see from the songlist, it's a pretty much eclectic mix of familiar jazz standards, lesser known show tunes and more than a few "obscure" pop tunes. Influences ranging from Mel Torme to Charlie Brown, Todd Rundgren to dare I say, Barry Manilow. Yeah....I said it!

The CD is a small part of the show, whose theme was relationships. What's great and what's not so great about them. The show was autobiographical at times, humorous, bittersweet, but at it's core, honest and very romantic. It's my hope you'll experience that and perhaps more with my CD "Intimacy".

Great versions of intelligent songs

I approached this not knowing anything about the artist but was immediately impressed - not just by the quality of his voice, which is gorgeous, but also by the choice of material. Anyone who chooses to sing John Bucchino and Craig Carnelia songs gets an immediate plus, but to interpret them so well is a real bonus. Oh, and the piano player is really good too!

An elegant, "intimate" and enjoyable recording...
author: Steve
                            
This is an elegant, "intimate" and enjoyable recording that includes several of my favorite songs. I like LaMont's voice and he sings with a delicate conviction that makes each song a small gem. A great CD to listen to while sipping wine by the fireplace or sharing a candlelight dinner with your special person!
