O’s Notes: Tappin’ Through Life is A Celebration of Maurice Hines, 1/2 of The Hines Brothers (Maurice and Gregory). They made their TV debut on Kids & Comedy and The Jackie Gleason Show with “Ballin’ The Jack”, sung by Leo Manzari here. Leo also sings “Everyday I Have The Blues”. The Diva Jazz Orchestra powers the “Tappin’ Thru Life Overture”. “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face” features Ann Hampton Calloway, and John Manzari sings “Honeysuckle Rose”. Clint Holmes sings several tracks notably “Come Fly With Me”. These are just a few of the eighteen songs on an entertaining set.
