(Marsis Jazz)

There’s something powerful about the marriage of piano and the human voice, and Mitchel Forman’s latest recording captures this magic so incredibly well. Sing Along With Mitch has the fantastic pianist playing along with 7 incredible voices in interpreting  wonderful contemporary standards. Featured are the talents of vocalists Arnold McCuller, Lizzy Loeb, Steven Santoro, Joy Burnworth, Giulietta Ciambotti, Tierney Sutton and Robbie Wyckoff. It’s hard to single any one of the singers’ performances, as every single one is incredibly strong and emotive. Forman’s playing is equally powerful and perfect, serving not as an accompaniment, but the ring of the piano becoming a duet with the vocals. Incredibly well done. This is one comes highly recommended. Bravo.
