Al Basile - Red Breath

Al Basile's third solo album features his jazz writing, vocals and cornet soloing skills in a set which has a '60s Blue Note feel and mixes Al's original instrumental and vocal songs in the style of classic standards with several songs by well-known writers such as Vernon Duke and Rodgers and Hart which have gone unrecorded or underecorded since their creation. "Very much a swinging, straight ahead album... Basile's voice exudes a warm, welcoming quality... his solos are delightful because they are thoroughly musical... his sound and melodic lines are everything in his playing." - Jazz Improv.
