O’s Notes: Julian arrived in New York in 2004 to teach Accounting at Columbia University. After singing during open mike nights at a few bars he was encouraged to sing professionally. Homage is his third album, a collection of well-known standards. There is something special with his voice that makes you want to listen to seemingly mundane material over and again! Of note are “Bésame Mucho”, “Give me The Simple Life” and “Desafinado”, some of several Latin classics included. The beauty is in the simplicity of his approach. It is not overdone yet warm and inviting.
