Singer Tony Hightower of Tyler Perry plays releases new album
Tyler Perry manages to get some of the best singers I have ever seen to be in his plays....
With that said, Tony Hightower, who I'm sure you've seen in many Tyler Perry plays has just released a new jazz album. During an interview with Jermaine Sain on When We Speak, Hightower says that he wanted to do an album like Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra. The title of the album is The New Standard. Although I'm not a big jazz fan I must say that I do like some of the songs on the album. What about you?
Get the album, The New Standard!!!

New Music from Julie Dexter and thehc3
From When We Speak TV blog:
Our friend, Julie Dexter, has teamed up with TheHC3 to bring you, The Smiling Hour.
The Smiling Hour is a collaboration between British songstress Julie Dexter and thehc3; Nick Rosen(p), Kevin Smith(b) & Henry Conerway III(d). Solo artists in their own right, this group of musicians have joined together to record a collection of standards. “The record came about very organically” they say. “Julie didn’t know it at the time, but she put together a string of shows and called each member of thehc3 separately.” Rosen’s arrangements of the classics; Billie Holiday’s, Good Morning Heartache and People Make The World Go Round set the tone for the album. The group chose songs and composers that have influenced or impacted them in some way; The Smiling Hour, the title track, pays homage to the legendary Sarah Vaughan; while Cotton Tail salutes the great Duke Ellington. This musical offering with arrangements by each band member, produces a fresh take on favorites from The Great American Songbook. Julie Dexter & thehc3 are currently taking bookings for a tour in the fall of 2015.
THE SMILING HOUR SONG LIST:
1. Black Nile
2. You Leave Me Breathless
3. People Make the World Go 'Round
4. Never Let Me Go
5. The Old Country
6. The Nearness of You
7. That's Livin'
8. Cotton Tail
9. Good Morning Heartache
10. The Smiling Hour
11. Afro Blue
