a real revelation here is young and this album is a success. the result of the Robin Mckelle / willie murillo meeting landmark for its originality. to discover all the secrets and flavor must scrape some production designed by Willie Murillo cover is unfortunate because the poor information. The genius lies in the original idea: to accompany this vintage voice using all or part of the arrangements that marked the various interpretations of these standards to give all sound old. and "dream" is based on the orchestration of nelson riddle for album ella fitzgerald dedicated to johnny mercer. "Come rain or come shine" uses costa gifting arrangements for the album "frank sinatra with strings" 1961 will the problem is that Murillo gave up the power of the string arrangements for the benefit of the few coppers which should intervene only in the second part of the song ... it gives a feeling of shortness unfinished. "Night and day" is still a title that made the heyday of Sinatra and fitzgerald. the arrangement is buddy Bregman.
for you to play with the disc tray and recognize the different original orchestrators since no name is mentioned in the booklet. will recall that Murillo was the arranger brian setzer big band during its period ... this disc quite pleasant could have been a must with detailed editorial notes and height of the project. the other weak point is the sound calamitous: to confirm the vintage spirit of all ??? imagine what could have been al schmit achieve with such orchestral means ...
it does not prevent you to enjoy the gentle swing of this young singer. the second disc Robin Mckelle is ready and will be even willie murillo the party.
