Album Notes

This Jazz/Blues singer has a mellow baritone voice that commands your attention. He has been compared to Billy Eckstine, Joe Williams, and Johnny Hartman and yet he has his own identifiable sound. He has worked with small groups as well as big bands like Count Bassie, Gerald Wilson, and Hank Crawford. All have prepared him for the CD you are about to listen to.

This new CD "Please Send Me Someone To Love" is a labor of love. Pat and Sonny have been working festivals for more the 18 years, but this is their first recording together. This CD is said to be reminiscent of the early Bassie/Williams recordings.


Comment/Quoates:

"Nothing I've heard lately rivals Sonny Craver with the Pat Longo Band"
"The singer, the band, and the arrangements are as good as anything I have ever heard"
"In this age of electronic music, it is refreshing to listen to a voice that never becomes artificial"
"This is a very interesting and highly stimulating release, and essential for the collections of big band Jazz fans"
