One of the prototypical Italian-American crooners, Vic Damone parlayed a smooth, mellow baritone into big-time pop stardom during the '40s and '50s. Early in his career, his inflection and phrasing were clearly indebted to Frank Sinatra, who once famously called him "the best set of pipes in the business." Overall, though, Damone's style was softer than Sinatra's and owed less to the elasticity of jazz, especially since he was a solo performer who never served an apprenticeship with a swing orchestra.

The line-up led by Grant Stewart and Fabio Miano counts as Austrian drummer Bernd Reiter and the young French double bassist Clément Daldosso. Combo formed by precocious musicians and with a journey to reach the highest levels of excellence. The quartet, with a solid background, rolls with ease through the mainstream but without being accommodated. Stewart, brilliant tenor saxophone with powerful incisive swing that seeks more and better expressiveness, is a featured figure in the international scene. With 18 recordings as leader and praised by Lou Donaldson, George Coleman, Clark Terry and Jimmy Cobb, with whom he has played and recorded. Nothing more to add …
