I received your CD. (Swinging With The Big Bands), in the mail yesterday. I waited until today to listen to it as I wanted to be able to sit down and really focus on your work without being distracted by doing something else at the same time.
I want to qualify what I am going to say. I have been a musician for 70 of my 75 years and been involved in every facet of the music business from owning a music store to writing arrangements for my own bands. I play all keys and many horns, and some strings.
I currently and for the last 20 plus years of my retirement from my businesses, have a recording studio at my home.
I feel I can speak with some authority as a result of my background.
Your work on the Cd is some of the finest work I have heard in a LONG LONG time. My personal opinion is that your work is not second to anything I have heard in recent times. Your vocals are real, on the money and always on key. Very solid!
I hope you are still young enough to pursue a career or a second career in music because you have the potential to get to the top in a reasonable amount of time. That could and would mostly depend on your ambition and energy.
One other comment I want to make is the tremendous energy I hear in every one of your vocals. Really driving. It is normal for a trap drummer to be able to do this but really amazing when the vocalist is doing it. I think you are able to do this because you are controlling the music.
I have no way of knowing what the background of the music on this cd is but it too is really awesome. The backup singing was spot on with out errors.
All in all I can only say this is so fine.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I will treasure this cd and play it mile by mile up the highway in the motorhome.
Best to you and yours,
BEBOP
