Jonathan Poretz - A Lot Of Livin To Do

PORETZ, JONATHAN

Close listening reveals a thin layer of Mark Murphy grit beneath his polished patina and, particularly on "Come Rain of Come Shine," a hint of Tony Bennett. In what amounts to a solid assortment of safely appealing standards, highlighted by a pleasurable blending of Frank Loesser's "My Time of Day" and "I've Never Been in Love Before," from "Guys and Dolls," Poretz proves himself a fine belter and ballader.
