Lellis, Tom
Tonight
The remarkable talents of guitarist and vocalist Toninho Horta and vocalist Tom Lellis coalesce to create a delightful musical alliance on Tonight, the duos first collaboration for Adventure Music. A native of Brazil, Horta, who the All Music Guide has called a "Brazilian Earl Klugh," brings a distinctive approach to both his natural and man-made instruments, while the American-born Lellis, whose recent releases have earned spots in the Jazziz Critics Poll "Best CDs of 2004" and "Best CDs of 2006" among many other critical accolades, contributes his richly melodic and vibrant vocal style to Tonights 14 tracks. Included in the CDs repertoire are remarkable interpretations of such standards as Percy Faiths "Maybe September," Jobims "Dindi," and Gershwins "Summertime," as well as original compositions from both artists.
