5 out of 5 stars A very exciting talent...........2004-12-08

I stumbled across this album by accident. I'm very glad I did. There is a wide range of songs, from old standards like "In these shoes" and "Mack the knife" (complete with spine tingling tap dance intro...) through to pop classics like "Lean on me" and "Uptight" (everything is alright). Old standards dominate, and there is plenty of brass to the fore - however the rich voice of this very talented guy is never overwhelmed by this.

"In these shoes" has a very latin feel, very upbeat but sung with a knowing smile, one feels.

I really liked this album: there is something for almost everyone, and I just hope it gets some publicity and some air time, because it deserves to be a smash. I don't normally indulge in writing reviews, but I feel somebody ought to be giving this album a plug (it is that good). Can't wait for the next offering by Chantz, whatever it is.

5 out of 5 stars Abso-blooming-lutely Marvellous!!!.......2004-11-06

WOW - what an amazing, versatile and professional young talent! I was blown away by this fantastic, uplifting CD. You can't fail to be tapping your feet, clicking your fingers, and singing along to the great music and rhythm - and he's only 17!! GO CHANTZ!!!!!
