Ingram Washington brings his rich baritone to a program of jazz standards. His voice carries the warmth of Billy Eckstine, with hints of Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra in his phrasing. That blend has made him a favorite with listeners across Western Europe, and What A Difference A Day Makes shows why. The arrangements are tasteful and easy on the ear, so the songs feel immediately familiar and still sound fresh. The ballads are the heart of the album. Rodgers and Hart’s “My Funny Valentine” is delivered with a haunting tenderness, and Nat King Cole’s signature “Unforgettable” gets a loving, unhurried reading. Though the album sits in the easy-listening tradition, its jazz, soul and funk roots add depth to the standards.

What attacks me most in music is the emotion, the inspiration, the elegance, harmonies, the groove and the passion with which it is performed. I like the tender improvisation and the warm sound of Ingram embedded in a silky recorded music. When I listen to the play back of the recording I experience the sensation of sparkling expectancy and a deep love for that music. Still the music sounded smooth, simple and accessible for everybody, great for analogue lovers. Here is the great American song book, this genre has it’s peaks and valleys over the years but there always seems to be a singer or a band or two that carries the torch so to speak. Well here is a good looking and sounding crooner Ingram Washington which is making history again. – Fritz de With,  Recording Engineer
