Ingram Washington - What A Difference A Day Makes 2004 [FLAC-16-44.1]

It has been three years since Ingram Washington's third CD, entitled 'What A Difference A Day Makes', was recorded in the Byton Studios in Loosdrecht. As the title suggests, this CD contains fourteen songs from the great American songbook by composers such as Rodgers & Hart and Mercer. Ingram is assisted by the trio of pianist Cajan Witmer – who is also responsible for the arrangements – which also consists of bassist Peter Bjørnild and drummer Marcel van Engelen. In addition, a few guests can be heard; tenor saxophonist Olaf Hoeks, New Zealand trumpet and flugelhorn player Mike Booth (better known from 'De Dijk'), harmonica virtuoso Hermine Deurloo and violinist Arjen de Graaf. Although Ingram was influenced in his youth by men like Nat 'King' Cole and Billy Eckstine, he has since developed into a singer with his own style. His dark baritone colors beautifully with swing songs from the forties like 'I Thought About You' but just as well with a country song like 'You Were Always On My Mind' that became known by Willie Nelson. A single song gets an unexpected arrangement, as is the case with the accelerated version of the time-honoured 'Autumn Leaves' - with the violinist in the lead role. My personal preference is for romantic ballads like 'Unforgettable'.
