Outstandingly true genius, not only vocally but musically as well. This album showcases jazz standards of the past and present and presents them in a more unique and listenable style. Great arrangements!

An Outstanding album! Ingram Washington's distinctive baritone voice exhibits the smoothness of Billy Eckstine while his vocal styling shows a touch of Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. It is no surprise that Ingram has such a large following in Western Europe. The album includes some dreamy romantic ballads like the hauntingly beautiful Rogers and Hart composition, "My Funny Valentine" and the Nat King Cole classic, "Unforgettable".

The songs speak for themselves. What more can be said about these long-lived evergreens? Ingram Washington.

INGRAM WASHINGTON – jazz vocalist. Born in 1940, Ingram grew up in Detroit, US and learned his singing skills listening to jazz from age 10, such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Billy Eckstine and many more that have long been forgotten.

Listening to the old ballads at that time became one of Ingram’s favourite past times and he became very close to the mellow tones of singers like Nat King Cole, Al Hibbler, Joe Williams, and of course the man he admires most for his deep baritone voice, Arthur Prysock.

Ingram has performed in clubs and concerts in every corner of the globe, (from the most northern ports of Norway to the southern tips of New Zealand, including Austria, Australia, the U.S.A. France, Germany, Switzerland, Holland and Belgium), he has worked with many well known and great artists such as Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Scott Hamilton, Teddy Edwards, Spanky Wilson, Harry “Sweets” Edison, Cees Slinger (NL), John Marshall (ENG) and Robby Agerbeek (NL).

This tape offers the listener a fine selection of standards and less well-known songs from the ‘Great American Songbook’ that compliment Ingram’s mellow style and dark baritone voice, re-engineered and pressed for the highest fidelity sound.
