Moments Worth Listening For
the breathtaking control of the high notes on 'In the Wee Hours of the Morning' where his voice thins to a silver thread
the sudden shift to a playful, rhythmic swing on 'That Old Black Magic' that proves he can move as well as he can pine
the way the strings swell to meet his vibrato at the climax of 'Early Autumn', creating a literal wall of sound
