Julian Wild - Lucky (2020)

"With a voice as smooth as silk..." - ("Dr. G" host of Jazz Hour 88.7fm WNHU,) "...Julian Wild lives up to his name!..." (96.5fm WTIC). "LUCKY" is the new retro-vibe and cool jazz-vocal album from the multi-talented British-American jazz singer, actor and entertainer, Julian Wild, that kicks off with a smooth and infectious groove, and moves along its upbeat musical weave in telling a story through song: New love, lost love - and back to love again! Julian's beautiful and sensually seductive baritone voice fills you with the joy of love, and invites you along its many phases, through his voice; engaging your happy, swingin' involvement. His unique vocal talents and style are fresh and vibrant... at times swinging with dynamic and joyful abandon; at other times with superbly-controlled vocal phrasing, yet with an artistic freedom and a truly heartfelt sensitivity... And simply terrific throughout! Here, Julian Wild is joined by his brilliant jazz Quintet: David Childs on piano (Joe McWilliams Track #13), Lou Stelluti on upright bass (Marty Confurious Track #6, Rick Petrone Track #14), Joe Corsello on Drums, Joe Stelluti on all sax and flute parts, Steve Lamattina on guitar, and with Alan Johnson on percussion (Tracks #6, and #8). It's a fabulous retro-jazz album, and a sign of great things to come.
