Whether you're a fan of the sounds of men like Johnny Hartman, Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett, or the up-tempo style of Bobby Darin, You'll love Dennis Rowland. Living here in Phoenix I have the opportunity to see him live on occasion and his range is incredible. He sang with Count Basie's orchestra for the last few years of the Count's life, and handles those classics with ease as well as collaborations with current masters like Joe Sample.

Check it out!

I concur with both the previous reviewers, and can only add that Mr. Rowland is a worthy successor to the great Joe Williams, but more cool, like Miles, in fact. Back in East L.A. they'd have called his voice "rico-suave". He has the music understood. The musicians he sings with also are on target. If you liked the original Miles Quintet albums, you'll thank your stars for this one. Buy it.

This is a major album. Subtle, musical, brilliant. It's the best vocal response to the music of Miles Davis I have heard. Rowland is a wonderful artist, deserving of a wider audience. I have listened to this album many times in the past two years, and I am amazed at how fresh it sounds on each hearing.

I knew Dennis growing up in Detroit But his sound now is just outstanding This is the very best vocal interpretation of Miles Davis that I have ever heard.I am so proud of you Dennis.
