Although only 17,
John Stevens has a stunning future with the Great American Songbook...and this brilliant debut album is one shining example. Thanks to Steve Tyrell and David Foster's superb production, Bob Mann's wonderful arrangements, and the just-right musical accompaniment (happily NO BIG BAND in sight), John has created a winning lineup of standards (both old and new), starting with "Come Fly with Me" and concluding with "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." I was not aware of Maroon 5's "This Love" until I heard John's heartfelt rendition - just perfect! And "Here, There and Everywhere" is a marvelous Beatles song that is perfect in a jazzy setting.
There is no need for me to add to what most of the other reviewers have already written, but this CD is a winner! And with careful handling, John Stevens has the talent to rival the likes of Michael Buble, Peter Cincotti, Renee Olstead and other up-and coming young vocal stylists for years to come. -
