4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Stuff . . ., December 19, 2001

But nothing earth-shattering. I love to listen to Peter Eldridge sing, whether it is in a solo setting or with New York Voices. This CD is kind of like a NYV disc, with Peter getting all of the solos. . . . He doesn't quite have the unpredictability of a Kurt Elling, the versatility of an Al Jarreau, the incredible range and diversity of a Bobby McFerrin, or any one "best" trait--that costs him a five-star rating. He just sings great, and I love to listen to him--that's why he gets four stars and my business.

I had heard several of these songs on a promotional/independent CD he was selling at a NYV concert a few years ago, so the material wasn't all new, which would have helped. He just sounds so comfortable--yes, that's it--singing his songs, accompanying himself on the piano, with some NYV bgv's here and there.

This CD is definitely worth taking a listen to if you just like to hear a guy with a great voice sing. Nothing too abstract, nothing too "cutting edge," nothing too wild and crazy--just good, solid jazz/pop sung as well as just about anybody else would sing it! Give it a shot. . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't live without this album!, November 15, 2004

Ever since I met Peter in the summer of 2003, I have been absolutely in love with his stellar voice, impeccable style, and unique compositions. Fool No More showcases him brilliantly. The songs are refreshing and different from your typical jazz album (in a very, very good way), both musically and lyrically. I listen to this CD several times a week, and I highly reccommend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in jazz (you should even get it if you're not interested in jazz, for that matter). It's truly an incredible CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Next Record You Must Buy, December 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fool No More (Audio CD)

...is this one! Eldridge evokes the cool jazz greats of the past in his rich mix of musical styles, fiece pianism and alluring vocals. Yet, rather than employing the hidden emotion of previous greats, he draws one into a kind of intimate conversation about the things that really matter -- time, love, spirit -- with a blend of humor and humility which will haunt your thoughts. Basically, a deeper (and much-better-looking) Mel Torme with a modern edge. Lack this record at your own peril!
