(Jazzbill Records)

Pianist, composer and arranger Jeremy Fox has constructed a stellar work with this production. With Love features an array of amazing singers lending their voices to tunes Fox arranged for the recording. Not only are the vocal performances off the charts, the instrumentation is as well. The album owes its big orchestral sound to the fact that it is a comprised of a real orchestra, with a real string section, cellos, bassoons, clarinets, horns and violins. In fact, the musician lineup is to massive to even begin to list here, but their contribution to the effort is incredible. Some of the singers featured here are Kate Reid, Kevin Mahogany Kate McGarry, Sunny Wilkinson, Anders Edenroth, Wendy Peterson and Derek Fawcett who are all fantastic on the respective songs they sing. The entire effort is absolutely perfect from beginning to end and one of the best albums of the year.
