Music reviews of Just About Everything

Music Review: A Special Talent
Rating: 5 Stars

Bob Dorough has made an art form of the unexpected and the unconventional.

He boasts a style of non-threatening, small combo jazz that is truly unique.

He swings - but in a restrained and simple manner - his songs and lyrics are quirky, observational and intimate. His music is up close and personal but never in your face.

I first found him singing duets on a Blossom Dearie live album years ago. I was immediately drawn to his unusual tonal quality and the casual way he imbued great meaning into the lyrics.

It's a trait he shares with the great jazz singers.

Among the star cuts on this thoroughly enjoyable set is "Tis Autumn" - a catchy little piece you'll swear you've heard somewhere before.

My favourite is the beautiful and rarely recorded "Lazy Afternoon".

The only other version of the this song I've heard is by Morgana King. No, this is not a song for your average crooner.

Bob Dorough is far from being that. FIVE STARS for a very special and totally unexpected talent.
