The Robin Nolan Trio (RNT)
and Randy Greer join forces to create
a musical masterpiece in Boulevard of Broken Dreams, marrying
European swing with American jazz vocals. Considered one of the
top acoustic gypsy jazz acts in the world today, the Amsterdam-based RNT invites American-born Randy Greer from his Barcelona home
into the studio. In sharp contrast to RNT's critically acclaimed
debut CD, Mediterranean Blues, which features all original instrumentals,
their sophomore release pays homage to America's great songwriters
of the 20th century. This CD has a fresh, contemporary sound that
is in no way stylistically sentimental. As a listener, you will
not have heard this musical combination before -- Mr. Greer's
richly textured American jazz vocals set against a backdrop of
swinging European gypsy jazz instrumentation. Highlighted by beautiful
guitar solos and mature accompaniment, the resulting mix is fifteen
great jazz Standards that have withstood the test of time.
