This Is Book's Music

It was hard to get past the album title, I mean c’mon: The Face Of My Love (Jazz Cat)? It just caught me off guard and I had to laugh before I was able to play the music.

The album features Ken Greves vocalist a number of jazz standards, songs like Billy Strayhorn‘s “Chelsea Bridge” and Cole Porter‘s “Where Have You Been?”, along with “You Stepped Out Of A Dream”, “That Old Black Magic”, and “By Myself”. He says in the liner notes that he was inspired to do this album after being a fan of Joni Mitchell‘s Both Sides Now, and did it where his album begins and ends with a dream. I like the execution and concept of that, and if you’re a fan of jazz mixed in with pop, you will love this, especially if you like the slightly camp way Bobby Short did things.
