John McNab has the rare ability to interpret the lyric as the songwriter intended; he becomes the song. His is a unique gift which he offers as balm to our souls. John's love for the Great American Songbook is his obsession; his respect for the composers, the lyricists, the music and the message indeed becomes reverence when he allows the song to journey through him. Well known for the past decade as the featured vocalist with the Canadian Tribute to Glenn Miller, John has entertained and enchanted audiences all over the North America. His solo CDs and radio, television and concert performances have received international acclaim. This sensitive stylist compels us to accompany him on his quest to honour and preserve the wonderful "must have" standards as well as the lesser known masterpieces of the Golden Era of Popular Song.

He is joined in this noble mission by Ralph Fraser, legendary pianist, composer and arranger who shares John's profound admiration for the icons of Swing. Yet Ralph's versatility is such that his devotees span all walks of life the world over. He is even the answer to a famous Trivial Pursuit question! Yes, sports fans, he really did play for the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Argonauts, and the Toronto Blizzard in the same season! Toronto Blue Jays too. He played the organ and he's just as at home on the vibes or any other keyboard. And the arrangements he has honed for John for their latest tour make this all worth waiting for. Ralph's life-long, excitingly varied career has included memorable gigs with such notables as Moe Koffman, Ed Bickert, Stan Getz, Carmen McCrae, Joe Williams, Dizzy, Bird and many other fabulous musicians internationally.

This is what the composers and the lyricists had in mind: to have their product delivered honestly...authentically...sincerely...and interpreted correctly...the way it was intended. These guys get it: and it works! Whether you're innocent or jaded, musician or technician, old, young, or undecided........John McNab and the Ralph Fraser trio will make your heart resonate with sweet memories you didn't even know you had!
