"Memorable male jazz singers are few, and I had not yet encountered a contemporary male jazz singer that I would return to for a second listen. It would seem that the norm of jazz is female singers and male instrumentalists. Don Gomes is now the exception. Singing at the piano, Don is accompanied by guitarist Fred Grigson, saxophonist Simon Styles, drummist Ric Eastman and bassist Paul Pooley. Gomes’ spotless vocal texture is a rarity among today’s jazz singers, and his relaxing utterances are most conducive towards the light-hearted singing. The highly expressive lyrics are nearly a déjà vu of the days of the old-time bandstand, jazz era". -- Excerpted from a review of Cafe Society by Constantine Soo, dagogo.com
