O’s Notes: Ron is a laid back crooner singing in front of a cool jazz band. We enjoyed it more with every track. Bob Sheppard (sax, fl), Rob McChesney (tb) and co-producers, pianists Bill Cuneliffe and Mitchell Foreman lead the star-studded band providing support to Boustead. Ron swings on the upbeat “Love Potion #9” and then seduces us with his baritone on “Coffee”. “Both are representative of what you’ll hear on Unlikely Valentine. The band also makes a strong statement broadening the appeal of the performance.
