"One thing about Bob McCarroll-- the man's got taste. First tune off Now and Then, his sweet and tuneful new album is the gem 'Out of Nowhere', a gorgeous, classic, but somewhat less well known tune by Johnny Green with lyrics by Ed Heyman, (the same team behind Body and Soul- tough competition!). He's not a great singer, but a very musical one, and acquits himself admirably on the number before a stand-out version of Just You, Just Me, one of those songs that you may not recognize by title but if I hummed a few bars, you'd go 'oh yeah...' It's kind of the ultimate sophisticated 20s song, and McCarroll sings it with just the right urbane touch..." (CLICK HERE TO READ THE ENTIRE REVIEW.)

Thanks to Dan Cohen (of Muse's Muse website), for taking the time to review my latest CD, "Now & Then." Thanks too, Dan, for all of your nice comments and for the inspiration to do better.

What do you do when you get heckled while you're working? Well, if you're lucky, a funny comeback line will come to mind and everybody will have a great laugh about it. Such was the case, as you'll see, in this video at one such recent show. All in good fun, mind you. | WATCH THE VIDEO HERE...

"Who Cares" from my just released CD, Now & Then. This original song features the talented guitar playing of Paul Lucas, the great Dwight Kilian on upright bass, the amazing Dom Moio on drums, and, of course, the wonderful vocals of Jodi Light singing a duet with me. The pics are (very) early and personal photos of my wife Janet and I. | PLAY VIDEO

CDBaby now has my latest CD, Now & Then, available as either a physical (CD) purchase or mp3 downloads from iTunes. You can also listen to samples of each song on their site. Give it a listen when you get a chance and let me know what you think. This new collections of 13 songs combines some timeless American Songbook standards with 6 new original tunes. | READ MORE...

Each of the 6 instrumental tunes on this project (which you can download for free), were written and/or recorded over the past 10 years, but for various reasons never made it to a CD project. So, rather than let them whither away in the digital audio universe I thought I'd post them here as free downloads for you to listen to...and hopefully enjoy. | DOWNLOAD PAGE...

If you're looking for some easy-listening jazz with strong melodic themes then you should check out my CDs. The first two, "Secret Obsessions" and "In Your Dreams," are instrumental-based tunes, the 3rd ("That Old Feeling") and 5th ("Now & Then") are 40s style vocal CDs with some memorable covers and 6 new originals - in the American Songbook tradition of song style. My 4th CD, "Songs For Low Light Conditions," is available for free downloading on the music page of this site. I hope you will enjoy listening to each and all of the songs.
