Compellingly sung and manifestly self-assured, Breakfast With The Blues announces the arrival of a potent new force in the underpopulated field of male UK jazz singers! I've recently lamented the dearth of male jazz singers on the British jazz scene, well listen to this… 'Breakfast With The Blues' is like a refreshing breeze… This debut album has really knocked me out! A terrific choice of material sung with heart and soul. I think this guy's the real deal. Cosburn can take songs from all kinds of sources and make them his own. Look out for him in the future: he has the makings of a new jazz talent. A real jazzer in the great tradition, and an engaging showman. Velvet-voiced singer with superb delivery and stage craft. Cosburn demostrates great phrasing and rhythmic control. A striking, self-assured debut album that will doubtless win him many new admirers. Symeon Cosburn, singer & songwriter, has won many admirers with his satin voice and highly musical interpretations of jazz standards & modern classics, as well as producing some fine original material in the classic jazz style. His gigs are always swinging and melodic. |
