"Doug Ferony is master of the easy listening jazz idiom. His 2002 release, It's Christmas is probably better evaluated by Carol Swanson, because she has a strong affinity for Tony Bennett style crooning and trio jazz. But the poor devil sent his music to my address, so I will stumble through this review as best I can and get this title in the mail to Carol, pronto!"

"The occasion for vocalist Doug Ferony's second album is a bittersweet one indeed. A tribute to his wife who recently passed away, the play list leans toward songs which tell stories of love and romance, despair and disappointment. Unlike his first album, where there was a big band with him on some cuts, here he works with just a piano. But like the first album, the pianist is the exceedingly accomplished Dena DeRose."

For this album, singer Doug Ferony has opted to go with a set of familiar standards and pop tunes which he delivers backed either by a big band or a smaller group, usually a trio. Ferony is a full-throated, strong baritone in the tradition of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Dick Haymes. His full-speed-ahead approach to the music is anything but timid.

Album Review

Doug Ferony has put together another fine recording with his newest “I Ain’t Got You”. The recording shows off the excellent voice of Doug with one of the best swing bands in the country today. After listening to this brand new release, you’ll become an instant fan of Doug and his Orchestra.

The album starts with the title cut and puts you in a “swinging” mood. It includes a wonderful sax solo by Joel Frahm with the full band giving it that warm feeling and a great way to start the recording.

From there, Doug goes back to the 50’s with a great arrangement of the Clover’s “Love Potion #9”. Many groups have covered this tune, but none better than Ferony. Bobby Darin would be proud if he heard the band’s version of Darin’s smash hit, “Beyond the Sea”. The band performs behind the “Ferony Voice” as well as any band in the country, giving it that full sound.

The CD fills the gamet of all styles of music including a great big band version of the Elvis hit, “Jailhouse Rock”, to Patsy Cline’s hit “Crazy”. There’s even a touch of the Sinatra sound with Doug on vocals and the feel of Sinatra’s arrangements.

The recording finishes with the title cut once again! I’m sure the reason they repeat the title cut is because they might not have you before you listen to the recording but after you listen, there’s not a doubt, “They’ll get you”. This new recording by Doug Ferony and his orchestra is truly a masterpiece. After listening, I’m sure you will agree. --Jimmy Sturr

Doug Ferony is master of the easy listening jazz idiom. His 2002 release, It's Christmas is probably better evaluated by Carol Swanson, because she has a strong affinity for Tony Bennett style crooning and trio jazz. But the poor devil sent his music to my address, so I will stumble through this review as best I can and get this title in the mail to Carol, pronto!

The first thing I notice is Ferony's honey-smooth voice. His vocalizations and black-onblack ensemble make him the natural heir to the crooners. A generation or two removed from the Rat Pack, his jazzy, dimly-lit lounge style is, to my ears, retro, chick-friendly pop that reminds me of the intimacy of piano room arrangements on the old Dean Martin show. Next, I notice the brilliantly-authentic arrangements, particularly the mood-setting bass line, which ties the instrumentals together, and which is handled at various points by Nick Misch and by Christ Berger.

I particularly enjoyed silly swing arrangement and lyrical liberties taken on Run Rudolph Run. The vocal duet with Dena DeRose on I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm was another highlight.

Doug Ferony is exactly the silky-smooth Italian vocalist I want to accompany the occasional white tablecloth Caesar salad, baked ziti and white wine.
