Title: FEINSTEIN HE'S NOT
Product review: I was so impressed with Mr. Gaines' performance in the Jerry Herman Hollywood Bowl tribute, I ordered both of his CD's, wondering (at the time) why they were apparently out-of-print. Now I know. While he has the voice of a Broadway singer, he has the taste and mannerisms of a SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE-level lounge singer, indulging in every whim from extending lines, to glottal whispers to late-Sinatra-type interior exclamations. If you like Lounge/Cabaret Jazz singing, he's fine. If you want to listen to the songs the composers wrote, go elsewhere. This one goes straight to the Consignment Shop.
