Tiger in the Rain
Michael Franks
℗ 1979 Warner Brothers Records BSK 3294
"Tiger In The Rain" is a jazz vocal album by singer/songwriter Michael Franks. It is the first album he made that didn't use the producing team of Tommy Lipuma, Al Schmitt and Lee Hershberg. The album features lots of horns, strings, vocals and includes a large rhythm section all arranged and produced by John Simon. Michael Franks, who is best known for his unique vocal style lends a hand not only on guitar, but also on banjo and mandolin. Also present here are some celebrated jazz aluminaries including bassist Ron Carter (from the Miles Davis Quintet), Bucky Pizzarelli (the father of guitarist/vocalist John Pizzarelli), vibraphonist Michael Manieri and many others. |
