Listen to My Romance- A Special Valentine
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the jazz vocalist Amber Weekes offers us a pair of romantic songs where her timeless approach illuminates the classic tunes with much elegance.
“My Romance”, a 1940’s standard, highlights Weekes’ flawless pipes as Eddy Olivieri’s piano skills are on full display amid soothing strings from Mark Cargill that adds much to the dreamy landscape.
“The Way He Makes Me Feel”, a duet with Mon David, is the fuller song of the pair, where keys from Tony Campodonico, guitars by Ramon Stagnaro, Jeff Littleton’s bass , and Paul Baker’s harp, among others, help cultivate a stirring and poetic climate.
Weekes just recently released her Christmas album, The Gathering, and is slated to release her next album, ‘Round Midnight-Reimagined soon. In the meantime, these 2 songs will hold fans over as her powerful, eloquent and stunning singing has never sounded better.
Travels well with: Amber Weekes- The Gathering; Diane Moser- Birdsongs
