A great listen that will leave you feeling relaxed, nostalgic, and wanting more.”[/tab] [tab]”I had the good fortune to purchase this CD and have been listening to it in heavy rotation since. I’ll make this simple: If you want to listen to some great jazz standards and original tunes sung by an artist with an infectiously delightful spirit, an unequaled instrument and a joy that comes from deep within with fresh, complex and flavorable arrangements by a truly fine musical tactician. You can’t go wrong with Meloney Collins and D. Ben-Jamin. Add to that the talents of some fine, real-live musicians in the recording studio and you have a wonderful collection. More, please.”[/tab] [tab]”What an amazing and distinct voice. The arrangements and the musicianship on this album are top notch. If you ever had an album that you enjoyed from start to finish and could listen to it daily, this is that new album in your collection. Step away from the noise out there in today’s popular music and refresh your ear with Mel Collins’ smooth voice and the rockin’ Ben-Jamin Big Band. You won’t regret it!”[/tab] [/tabcontent] [/tabs]
