O’s Notes: Bryan sings with a warm vibrato over fourteen standards arranged by pianist Gary Norian who also contributes three originals. Anthony sings “Secret Love” soaring on top of a prancing bass line from Thomas Helton. The warmth he breathes into “April In Paris” typifies the freshening of the standards on this CD. Joel Fulgham rounds out the band that provides excellent support. This is young talent making old songs new!
