5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, astonishing, tender surprise, November 28, 1999

I had never hear of this fellow, Kenny Colman, before I caught a wisp of one of the tracks on this fine album on my local jazz station. He sounded like a blend of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, with something of Joao Gilberto weaving itself through. The track I heard, a Johnny Mercer tune called 'Where Do You Start' sounded fresh and knowing, free of showmanship and cynicism. His delivery was flawless and went straight to the heart. Technically, he seemed perfect. It made me say, 'Who IS this guy?' I bought the album fearing it was a one-track wonder, but no. The first dozen of the generous 18-track CD were all exceptional. (The others, while fine, seem to have a tacked-on feeling and, to my mind, a notch or two lower than the high bar of the original twelve.) But cuts like 'When Joanna Loved Me'--which connects to the song on an visceral level rarely achieved--makes this CD an indispensible chronicle of tender human emotions by someone who knows what he's talking about. The first dozen arrangements, some by Mandel himself, are lush, intelligent and present this singer like the jewel that he is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kenny's vocals rival Sinatra and Bennett., September 12, 1998

Sinatra called Kenny's album a total musical experience. Once you hear it you will know why. His soft sultry voice will challenge the tear ducts of the strongest men. Some of the renditions will send shivers up your spine. Of the 18 songs on the album, my two favorite are Where Do You Start, truly the greatest song about a break up ever written, and I Wish I'd Met You. One that you will have wished you wrote for your second spouse. If you long for the old days of truly magnificent singing to magnificent lyrics, this one is a must in your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem, February 8, 2008

Vancouver based Colman is a consummate singer who can hold his own with Torme, Sinatra or Bennett. This album is full of great tracks, but his interpretation of Laura may well be the definitive version. This CD has high production values with great arrangements and orchestration. The Great American Songbook has never been sung better. Listening to this CD should make you want to go strangle Rod Stewart.
