4.0 out of 5 stars SCAT SINGER ORI DAGAN'S DEBUT CD, February 16, 2010

This review is from: S'Cat Got My Tongue (MP3 Download)

Toronto vocalist Ori Dagan has released his first CD. He's a baritone with good delivery. There is a varied selection of original material featuring his scat singing including the title piece, S'cat Got My Tonge. In his version of the Woody Herman piece, Four Brothers, he duets with tenor saxophonist Chris Gale accompanied by piano, bass and drums. His S'Qua Badu Bob is a duet with soprano Sophia Perlman. There's also a hip version of the Surrey With The Fringe On Top.

He can deliver ballads "straight" as well. This is evidenced by his Star Eyes with Hammond B3 accompaniment by Bernie Senesky. Other tunes feature piano.

Here's a "talent deserving wider recognition." I'd compare his clever vocals to that of Giacomo Gates and Jay Leonhart. He has a website and several videos on You Tube.

Four wonderful stars!
