5.0 out of 5 stars amazing-- this is why I listen to jazz, January 10, 1999

I was lucky enough to see him perform when he was inducted into the Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame (it's small, but it exsists) Since hearing him I have become a huge jazz fan. quirky, fun lyrics and flawless piano playing-- what else do you need?

Bob Dorough has made an art form of the unexpected and the unconventional.

He boasts a style of non-threatening, small combo jazz that is truly unique.

He swings - but in a restrained and simple manner - his songs and lyrics are quirky, observational and intimate. His music is up close and personal but never in your face.

I first found him singing duets on a Blossom Dearie live album years ago. I was immediately drawn to his unusual tonal quality and the casual way he imbued great meaning into the lyrics.

It's a trait he shares with the great jazz singers.

Among the star cuts on this thoroughly enjoyable set is "Tis Autumn" - a catchy little piece you'll swear you've heard somewhere before.

My favourite is the beautiful and rarely recorded "Lazy Afternoon".

The only other version of the this song I've heard is by Morgana King. No, this is not a song for your average crooner.

Bob Dorough is far from being that. FIVE STARS for a very special and totally unexpected talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Soothing, January 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Just About Everything (Audio CD)

Bob Dorough's music is the perfect thing to come home to after a stressful day of work, or a non-stressful day for that matter. His notes swirl into a harmonious sound that relaxes every inch of your body. Lyrically it's excellent and his unique twang adds the right touch. "But for now" is a beautiful love song that my girlfriend and I can't help but dance to.
