Released in 1983 on vinyl, Rich's debut album Listen Here has now gone digital and is now available on BANDCAMP which is good news for those of us who like to hear high class jazz inclined vocalists singing high class songs composed by high class jazz inclined composers.
Listen Here ticks all of those boxes. Warm and sensuous, Rich has one of those voices that, even on uptempo numbers, entwines itself around your innermost emotions. Add five musicians who know what they're doing on an assortment of instruments and you have a cordon bleu recipe for a tasty musical dish.
It's incredible to think that although Listen Here was recorded over 40 years ago Rich only recorded three more albums since that auspicious beginning. However, the good news is that album number five is scheduled for Spring next year. One thing is sure, it won't hang you up the most! Lance
