Product Description
Here Come The Boys:

In today’s active music scene, young crooners such as Michael Bublé, Jamie Cullum, and Peter Cincotti are selling huge numbers in the field of jazz and traditional pop vocals. Even so, no company has yet taken a stab at collecting the recordings of the men of the modern male vocal revival, either in Canada or the States. Here then is a one-of-a-kind collection, presenting no less than 15 great Canadian male jazz vocalists on one CD, the only disc to date to focus on the male element in the popular jazz vocal movement.

This disc is totally unique, unlike anything currently available to the public, and Canadian buyers have taken notice.

"Here Come The Boys" proudly features recordings by 15 established male vocalists from across Canada, a line-up of some of our best male vocalists; men who sing with heart, soul, and plenty of class. A totally novel concept, this disc is immediately accessible both to serious jazz-fans and casual listeners alike. Fans of the new crooners will enjoy this release, as will more established jazz-listeners who may already have Kurt Elling or Mark Murphy on their shelves at home.

One of the few discs with potential for this degree of crossover appeal to enter the jazz racks this season.

Containing a good assortment of standards with great popular appeal, the disc also features songs not done-to-death, sure to get the attention of those seeking out more unusual material. The performances range from straight ahead, to more adventurous jazz treatments, alongside tracks that even the smooth jazz or easy listening buyers will surely enjoy. To everyone’s delight, this is a program representing some of the most satisfying jazz vocal sounds this country has to offer.

Here Come The Boys… catch them while they’re hot!
