Playing piano and singing, John Ambrosini goes old school “Singer/Songwriter” in his feel for mixing originals with 70s hits with a core team of Steve Finkelstein/perc, Matt Miller/der, David Phelps/g, Zachary Swanson/b and Christine Ambrosini-Amanda Bloom/voc. He brings in some jazzers for soloing, such as saxist David Binney on a revamped “Sweet Baby James”, Joel Frahm on a reflective “New York State Of Mind” and Randy Brecker blowing his horn for “Lover”. Ambrosini has a sincere and bold delivery, giving a ramblin’ man feel to “High and Dry” and poppish on “The Horses”. Cabaret confessions.
