Have been singing at Arnold's Bar and Grill in Cincinnati for over 30 years and this is the first CD we have produced. The music, from the 20's, 30's and 40's (and even going back to the teens), is a rich repertoire in which to become submerged. For this 2 CD set, we chose to keep it very simple, with just piano and vocals and just little trumpet thrown in here and there.
Ricky Nye fans who know him for his "Boogie Woogie and Blues" piano style will enjoy hearing Ricky play in a different genre and hearing him sing several duets on the album. Also included are Wayne Shannon (one of the few pianists around with a great stride left hand) and Roy Tate who plays beautifully on the trumpet.
The first CD of the 2-CD set is titled "A Serenade In Blue" and is mostly ballads and a few blues tunes, including a wonderful Billie Holiday tune called "Fine & Mellow Blues". The second CD is titled "Thursday's At Arnold's" and includes a variety of jazz and blues classics from Fat's Waller to Harold Arlen, George Gershwin, and Hoagy Carmichael.
