Denzal Sinclaire - My One and Only Love
Written by Nicholas Jennings    Wednesday, 30 December 2009 01:00    PDF Print E-mail

Denzal Sinclaire - My One and Only LoveSinclaire clearly has an affinity for Nat King Cole, having performed in Unforgettable, a musical based on Cole’s life, and toured his own tribute to the American jazz-pop legend. On his second album, the Vancouver singer-pianist covers at least two songs associated with Cole: “Stardust” and “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” And Sinclaire’s voice does share the same warm, resonant timbre as Cole’s. But the album, produced by trumpeter Brad Turner, lacks Cole’s unmistakable swing. Sinclaire is tasteful, but too laid back by half.
