Tom Wopat's "I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER" Set for Release February 12, 2013
Star of Stage, Screen and TV Swings Into Mad Men Era With New Recording of Great American Songbook Classics and Contemporary Songs of Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor and More
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/04/12 -- 2013 promises to be a banner year for Tom Wopat. From the Feb. 12 release of his eighth recording "to his role in Quentin Tarrantino's highly anticipated film "Django Unchained," (released 2012 Christmas) and the release of the ABC-TV family musical movie "Lovestruck," in which he stars with Jane Seymour. While one can't help recall his starring role in the '80s hit television series "The Dukes of Hazzard," it is Tom Wopat, jazz vocalist and the Tony nominated star of Broadway that's been garnering high critical acclaim for the last two decades.
With "," Tom's musical expedition has traveled into even more colorful territory. Backed by a thirty-piece orchestra, he fulfills his desire to focus on what he describes as the "orchestra/big band hybrid of the '60s and '70s." "We've evoked the spirit of the New York supper club era and the cool vibe of the Mad Men days," he states. "The recording swings hard and there's a lot of really fine music."
And, there's a lot of fine singing all over the fourteen captivating tracks. Tom applies his far-ranging interpretive skills and warm engaging baritone to discovering new, intriguing musical twists in such Great American Songbook classics as "The Folks Who Live On The Hill," "Call Me," "Born To Be Blue," and "I Won't Dance." Listen to the way he romps through the different rhythms of "I've Got Your Number" and "The Good Life" -- typical of his easygoing interaction with the grooves of his orchestra/big band backing. Listen as well to how he transforms the singer/songwriter tunes -- James Taylor's "The Secret O' Life," Paul Simon's "The Afterlife," Judy Collins' "Since You Asked," Bruce Springsteen's "Meeting Across the River" -- into jazz-tinged renditions. And, to the sense of jazz authenticity that informs both Tom's singing and his interaction with the lush big band arrangements.
With "," Wopat truly feels he has found his stride. "Performing these songs the way we do on this recording is the most creative thing I do!"
