Casey, thanks! This is part of an effort to make some recent purchases more appealing :)
Thanks Jazzcourier, for the detailed explanation. I am aware of some of the artists he uses (Cole Porter, Billie Holiday) but some of the songs/artists I heard recently were unfamiliar to me. I will look up the artists you suggested. Do agree that his music plays a big part in the appeal to especially his recent works, which seem to be targeted more for the mainstream. Wonder if he grew up listening to them.
Dweller, duh! This is why I rely on opinions as I am slow.
Alexatpos, another artist I have not explored, in spite of my varied explorations. Looking forward to it.
Thanks all!
