[.ca] Kevin Mahogany

This CD will never be out of style. It's too classic!:
Between my husband and I, we will wear out this CD before we get tired of it. After seeing Kevin Mahogany live in the SF bay area singing songs off this recording, we had to buy it. His powerful, gutsy voice yields itself to passionate lullaby when called for. Buy this (or any of his CD's) and you won't be sorry. Buy one for each car! (That's what we did!)

Terrific blend of R & B and Blues:
This album show Mahogany's great vocal style. He covers some classic tunes and makes it clear that he really can swing. Mahogany is also particulary adept at ballads; his cover of "When October goes" is outstanding. The supporting musicians are also excellent. The sax and drummer are particularly good.

Swinging:
This guy knows how to swing. The album as a whole has a nice feel to it, although there is quite a bit of r & b rather than straight-ahead jazz happening here. Nonetheless, Mr. Mahogany sounds great. His phrasing is tasty, his scat hard-swinging. And check out Peter Bernstein on guitar...whoa- his solos to this observer dominate the set. Highly recommended for those not-yet-familiar with Kevin Mahogany.
