Four Freshmen Day By Day

This "Capitol Sings" CD surveys works of Irving Berlin, one of the the greatest American songwriters. Standout performances include Kay Starr's "You're Just In Love," Betty Hutton's up-tempo "Blue Skies," and Peggy Lee's "Cheek To Cheek." There are also some lovely Nat King Cole numbers, and a seldom-heard Bobby Darrin swinger "All By Myself".

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas with GRAMMY-nominated Ernie Haase & Signature Sound! The group takes us back to the early days of quartets with this new recording, reminiscent of the sounds of the Four Freshmen and the jazz of Tony Bennett. Produced by Bennett's former music director Bill Stritch and award-winning Wayne Haun, the release features a three-piece jazz band and intricate harmonies performing holiday classics and sacred songs that resound the joy and miracle of Christmas.
