Free Music Review: A Great Singer
Hit: 5 Stars
Bob Dorough and Frank Sinatra are my favorite singers. Millions worldwide adore Sinatra, but why Dorough? Well, listen to Nob's most recent composition, the lovely and poignant ballad "Baby Used to Be". Note how he stretches "easy" out to suggest a woman slowly lying down, how "out" seems to be in verbal quotation marks, giving the word an extra layer of meaning, and how he makes "weird" sound onomatopoetic. This is wonderful singing--and songwriting.
Pianist Dorough, guitarist Steve Berger, bassist Steve Gilmore, and drummer Eddie Ornowski are a classy quartet. Each member of the group has many shining moments. Listen, for example, to Ornowski's drumming during "Three Is a Magic Number".
The songs, eight written in part or in whole by Dorough, are first-rate. Of those written by others, Bobby Troup's "You're Looking at Me" may be my favorite. Singer-pianist Daryl Sherman"s collaboration with Dorough on his "Without Rhyme or Reason" is charming.
I highly recommend this recording to anyone who loves jazz or American popular song. It will sound progressively better with each listening.
