Cleveland P. Jones last appeared on these pages as a
featured artist on Khari Cabral & JIVA "Show Me The Way" in Mar 2022.
He is currently working on his first jazz album and has decided to
share three tracks on an EP he's titled "Come Closer To ME". The first is his rendition of a Hoagy Carmichael classic, "Skylark", which just oozes class!
The second track is an original song, "Come Closer To Me", written by Jones
The third and final track is "Here's To Life" penned by Artie Butler and Phyllis Molinary. Curiously I was only
listening again to
Dione Bullard's recent version yesterday (included below) and what a performance.
Cleveland reflects that he was inspired by the song after listening to
Shirley Horn's original on a cassette when he was 19.
I came across a recent video at City Winery, Atlanta (his home town) of a
performance of Leon Russell's "A Song For You" (included below) so I wonder if that will be included on his
forthcoming album?
Also I noticed from his facebook that Cleveland is celebrating his birthday
today, so happy birthday Cleveland.
Note that whilst the sound files are available on Spotify and appear on a
couple of DSP's I can't find it for sale on Amazon and it only seems to be
for sale on
Bandcamp.
UPDATE it is now available on Amazon.
