Synopsis

Product Description
From the opening bars of Blue Skies to the final chord of the classic Nature Boy, the exquisite voice of jazz vocalist, Jamie Davis warms the heart and soul. In his newest release, the San Francisco legend, now a world famous stylist, swings harder than ever. From the 1930's classic, Pennies From Heaven, to the 1970's pop hit, You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine, Jamie Davis and his orchestra leave you feelin' good...really good. Accompanied by world class musicians such as Tom Scott, Scotty Barnhart, and members of The Count Basie Orchestra, Jamie Davis clearly establishes himself among the elite company of master jazz vocalists. Think Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Rushing, Joe Williams and Nat King Cole. Vibe Over Perfection is a remarkable achievement and one that solidifies Mr. Davis' position as one of the most important vocalists in the world today. So put this disc on. Let Mr. Davis and his band lift your spirits and make you feel good - really good!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Jamie Davis is an immensely talented vocalist. He has a rich, clear voice that's hugely appealing--and he can really swing! His sound and style are somewhat reminiscent of Joe Williams, that great 1950s Basie vocalist, with perhaps a touch of Lou Rawls. Some music critics have suggested that this guy is already up there with the best big band singers of all time, and I'm pretty much convinced. Listen to the Amazon song samples for a taste.....



VIBE OVER PERFECTION has a pleasing selection of songs that includes older standards and some very popular tunes from the 1970s. Nice arrangements; no weak tracks. I like the song selection on VIBE a little better than on his previous release IT'S A GOOD THING. Both these recordings have similar accompaniment, with today's version of the Count Basie Orchestra (or at least a big part of it). The band delivers an exciting VIBE throughout, including some enjoyable soloing. This disc is great fun, although it does end too quickly, clocking in at just under 40 minutes.
