This page contains a brief overview on the album AL JAMES: An Evening With Al James. Learn more about the artist and explore the track lists and website. If you find any information that needs to be corrected, please let us know.

 
Here for your listening pleasure is a versatile recording artist whose vocal impressions evoke the styles of some of the greatest singers of the past.

The album starts with what is undoubtedly Tony Bennett's most famous song. Then, as if the listener were riding in a time machine, he is taken back to the swinging big band era where dance tunes are interlaced with gentle, lyrical melodies.

With "The Girl From Ipanema" and "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" it's off to Brazil for these well-known bossa nova tunes written by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

The final two selections are straight from the Sinatra songbook, the last being a Cole Porter favorite.

This is nostalgia at its best. Al James has brought back the music you want, the music you can touch dance to, and the music with lyrics you can actually understand and appreciate! This is the music that is the antidote for today's hectic pace. Sit back and enjoy!
