remembering a lost era.......2002-01-02

My mother's favorite singer was Dick Haymes; I still have all my parents' old 78s of Haymes singing with Jimmy Dorsey and Harry James. I'd been hearing a lot about Philip Chaffin's solo CD, featuring songs of the big-band era, and figured it was time to judge for myself. I wasn't disappointed at all by Where Do I Go From You? In an age when effortless singing has gone out of style, Chaffin is a wonder: his smooth, silky voice really does invite comparisons to Haymes, as well as to all those other
dinner-jacketed gentlemen who sang with the bands of the '30s and '40s. The uptempo numbers are great, and the band shines in songs like "No Strings" and "Love of My Life." But it's the ballads, especially the big, sad ones like "Serenade in Blue" and "There's a Lull in My Life," that are most moving. It's there that Chaffin's voice becomes richest and strongest, and it's there that the whole great big-band era seems perfectly evoked.

Phillip was good in Hi/sch. in West Side Story--he is wonderful now. I love the era of music and it's music to spend a romantic evening at home. I am glad to have found his album. More please.

Sweet and swinging. I'd never heard of Chaffin before, but the choice of songs appealed to me and I like "Big Band" recordings.

OK, Chaffin is not my favorite type voice...a clean, clear, bright tenor.... but the overall impact of this recording is so appealing as to be irrestible.

The liner notes say that Chaffin wanted the album to be just "a fellow with a band," much in the spirit of the mostly '40s movie tunes he's chosen to record, and that's exactly what this album is, a happy listening experience that you can listen to at almost any hour of the day.

Lots of old favorites...I always love "At Last," and it's nice to hear it with its original orchestration, sung very differently than we're used to hearing these days (eg. Joni Mitchell, wonderful in her own right)...Irving Berlin's "No Strings," a perfect wake-up track for your CD alarm...but plenty of new favorites, too, for those who love hearing "standards" ("Love of My Life," "Serenade in Blue") that are as new to them as they were to me.

The swingers swing, the ballads are sweet, the band is grand, and the feel is allaround upbeat. Nice stuff, I look forward to hearing more from Chaffin.
