KEN GREVES
VINTAGE & RARE: THE SONGS OF HAROLD ARLEN VOL 3
RIDIN' ON THE MOON
 
Release date: October 20, 2020
 

This 3rd CD is a part of a 10-CD project to record Arlen’s music in a comprehensive way to include rare, vintage, novelty, and instrumental songs.

 

The idea was to record these wonderfully crafted songs and bring them to the modern ear, with hip arrangements in different grooves-swing, jazz waltzes, bossa novas, ballads, and sometimes swift up-tempos.  

 

Available here on the official website as well as iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, and all music streaming websites.  To contribute to the gofundme campaign for this project please click the image below.

 

 

Ken Greves – Press Quotes

Press & Reviews

His perfect pronunciation plays a decisive role in the album, from the lighter to darker texts and allows us to appreciate, even a little, a voice out of the ordinary.

Vittorio Lo Conte Night People

The performance of the ensemble is first rate, responsive in every way — and if anything even more remarkable is the work of the vocalist, displaying an exceptional expressive range of tone and dynamic.

Raul da Gama Night People

An obsessive perfectionist, Ken Greves has polished these fine works into gleaming gems. As a true musician he uses his instrument — the voice — idiomatically and is never flashy unlike many other more flamboyant singers of his generation.

Raul da Gama Vintage & Rare: The Music of Harold Arlen

Ken's approach in both the arrangements and the manner in which he blends his superb vocal artistry with his musicians is of the highest order, fully conceived within the concept of synergy that is essential to the greatest tradition of jazz.

Marty Khan OutVisions — Night People

Hanley and Greves recall the wonderful partnership between Kurt Elling and Laurence Hobgood. Hanley's svelte pianism is every bit a match with Greves' subtle intonations.

Raul da Gama The Face of My Love — All About Jazz

A prolific interpreter of American standards, singer Ken Greves transports audiences back to the Golden Years of jazz and champagne music.

Susan Frances Jazz Times

On the money throughout, Greves goes way beyond being a jive ass crooner and wears the mantle of vocalist quite well. Classic "Americana" fans will love it.

Chris Spector Midwest Record

The voice is at the forefront, and Mr. Greves certainly has a distinctive tenor voice with crystal clear diction.
