| Review
During the past 20 years, there has been a major shortage of male jazz vocalists.
The number of significant male jazz singers under the age of 60 can be counted
on one's fingers. Jeff Oster is both a new discovery and a veteran. Most of the
selections are standards that are given fresh and often-surprising treatments
due to Welker's writing and Oster's singing.
Peter Welker says, "I have worked on a lot of CDs, a lot of recordings
with a lot of great people, and I think honestly that this is the best thing
that I've ever been involved with." Jeff Oster summarizes the experience. "It
is such a pleasure to sing with this band and I love Peter's writing. Recording
this music with this group, is a dream fulfilled."

Bebop, Trumpet Kings, Jazz On Film and Jazz On Record 1917-76 |
