Lance Ellington is one of those singers whom you will have heard on many artists’ records and on many TV shows without being aware, as he is a highly successful and very busy session vocalist. His public profile has broadened in recent times as the featured vocalist on BBC TV’s hugely successful “Strictly Come Dancing”. However, he is also a marvellous performer in his own right, and in autumn 2010 is embarking on a concert tour of the UK, showcasing his smooth and sophisticated vocal style – a blend of all the classic crooners and soul balladeers, with echoes of Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, George Benson, Jeffrey Osborne and more. This 2-CD set brings together two albums previously released in 2005 and 2007, which did not receive wide distribution at the time. “Lessons In Love” comprises Lance’s interpretations of classic big band jazz standards from the Great American Songbook, many using original arrangements by the likes of Nelson Riddle, Billy May and Neal Hefti, while “There comes A Time” mainly consists of original songs in the smooth easy listening jazz idiom. This release provides an opportunity for Lance Ellington to reach the wide audience which his talent deserves, and with more concentrated promotion and visibility via TV, radio and ‘live’ performances, this promises to be a very popular release.
