Although
Peter Eldridge is a co-founder of
the New York Voices and is often heard in
jazz settings, this outing by the singer-educator is largely outside of
jazz. Some of the songs (all of which were written by
Eldridge with one being co-written) sound as if they could have been composed by
Lennon and
McCartney. In general, the atmospheric music consists of originals that are strongly influenced by '60s and '70s
pop.
Eldridge sometimes utilizes background vocalists although the backup musicians do not have much of an opportunity to show off any individuality. The emphasis is on
Peter Eldridge's voice and his songs, making this a project of greatest interest to fans of
singer/songwriters. ~ Scott Yanow
