Radio Host Accolades for New YorkI'm from New York (New Rochelle - close enough), and now live in Colorado, so I love songs of New York. Ron has done a great job, along with a solid lineup of Musicians, of bringing a taste of the Big Apple to ex-New Yorkers around the country. As for the non-New Yorkers out there, good luck finding a CD of songs about Los Angeles, or Miami, or Houston, or wherever it is you're from. New York; a monument in the world, which is further stipulated with Ron Kaplan's latest CD, New York. With an excellent choice of titles documenting the City of New York, Ron Kaplan brings us an extraordinary
"Songbook" that you can really "lean back and enjoy." For instance, the beautiful and swinging title "Take the A-Train." This selection from the Great American Song Book really brings out in full the great workmanship of both the musicians and of course the fantastic vocal capabilities of Ron Kaplan. New York really deservers a prominent place in the musical skyline and scenery of the Jazz scene today, echoing the many scenes in the monumental city of New York. So anyone who never has been to New York, like the undersigned, have a good listen to the scene, dream away
and you will feel the "Spirit of New York," at least I know I did!! Very Enjoyable CD!" Ron Kaplan captures the essence of the Big City with his voice and graceful singing style. |
