Space-Age, Latin, Exotica,
Balladiers, and Las Vegas Lounge. Music for an
atomic age! >November 02, 2004
Boulevard East is Beth Covell, Christopher Howatt and Dana Merritt. This trio is a delightful addition to our playlist with a style that is best described as true cabaret in its scope. Although the album is peppered with accomplished solo work, the vocal stylings of this very polished group are at their best when they are singing these classic standards on their release "Timeless" as a Trio - their blend is so well-matched that it begs the listener to try and distinguish just who is who. The album has lovely renditions of "Over The Rainbow" and "Orange Colored Sky", as well as some well-thought through medleys and salutes to such greats as Hoagy Carmichael and Rodgers and Hart. All of this paired with the piano arrangements of Christopher Howatt make this a very enjoyable album and delightful addition to our playlist.
Grab your favorite cordial and sit back and enjoy this album in heavy rotation for the next couple of weeks on the Green Lounge.

Cheers to Boulevard East!!

As always,
Bottoms Up!!
