Blending the artistry of famous crooners and legendary jazz musicians, singer-trumpeter-songwriter Jeremy Davenport makes the song his focus. The St. Louis native tastefully swings while delivering romantic favorites such as They Can't Take That Away From Me, I See Your Face Before Me, I'm In The Mood For Love and six more originals.
It is easy to have low expectations for this CD because Jeremy Davenport was clearly being positioned to be "the next Chet Baker," though he did not succeed. The seven cover boy photos make it a little difficult to take him seriously and the originals that he contributed to the set (particularly "Was It Something I Did?," which has abysmal words) are not too memorable. But, on the other hand, he plays trumpet well, his vocals, which sound much closer to Harry Connick, Jr. than to Baker, have their charm, and Davenport is fairly rewarding on the standards (such as "They Can't Take That Away From Me," "I'm Old Fashioned," and "I'm in the Mood for Love"). This CD is more successful than expected. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

New Orleans-based jazz musician Jeremy Davenport is a trumpeter/vocalist in the tradition of Louis Armstrong, Bunny Berigan, and Chet Baker. Born to musician parents in 1970, the Saint Louis, MO, native received a scholarship to study at the Manhattan School of Music during which time he also studied with trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. Eventually Davenport moved his studies to the University of New Orleans and landed a seat in the trumpet section of pianist/vocalist Harry Connick, Jr.'s big band in the early '90s. Inspired by Connick, Davenport began focusing more on his singing and ultimately released two solo studio albums on Telarc: Jeremy Davenport and Maybe in a Dream. Davenport has also performed regularly at the at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in New Orleans since the '90s. A live performance of his quartet featured on National Public Radio's Jazzset was released as Live at the Bistro on AAM Recordings in 2005. In 2008, he signed to the New Orleans-based Basin Street Records and in 2009 released We'll Dance 'Til Dawn which featured him in a duet with trumpeter/singer Kermit Ruffins.
