Toronto Star’s - Peter Goddard - 4 Stars; “Among the many extraordinary things about this CD – the top solo debut this year so far – is hearing a singer find himself. What really puts the CD in the big leagues is Hope’s take on “But Beautiful”.
Gavin and I started this journey at Lula Lounge at a fundraiser for Sing! Toronto Vocal Arts Festival. Preceding that occasion Id’ never heard this glorious voice only in harmony with singing group The Nylons on the Ted Woloshyn Show @ Newstalk 1010 in 2012.
What transpired on stage was pure magic! This was Marvin, Luther, James Imgram, Pebo Bryson, all in one body. I knew then I had to secure studio time. That we did and two demo tracks landed on Slaight Music’s founder Gary Slaight (President and Chief Executive Officer of Slaight Communications Inc.) and Derrick Ross (President of Slaight Music) desk. A brief meeting ensued and deal struck.
I turned Gavin on to the seminal duo recording Tony Bennett/Bill Evan’s recorded some thirty-eight years back and reminded the bar had been set high – let’s make a play for it. The process was exhilarating and the results now public. For All We Know is for me one of the grand experiences of my professional music life. Finally, a big big hug and thank you to Shakura S’Aida for introducing us to the amazing Selena Evangeline. Another voice from beyond! Her debut duet on Lizz Wright’s ‘Salt’ completes the aural journey.
