Richard Greene - Low? Bottom? Me? [CD]

Music from the Bottom Up Grammy nominated arranger, songwriter, producer and bass singer Richard Bob Greene (founding member of the a cappella group the Bobs) casts off his chains of bass-dom in this solo record and takes the elevator to the stars. This is jazz in orientation, with snippets of Dixieland, a languid a cappella bossa nova, wistful balladry, an amazing dance remix of the Bobs' classic recording of "Helter Skelter," and a generous dollop of neo-hipster spoken word. Greene's seemingly bottomless voice sounds lived in, but he's 100% believable and more - sometimes low-down and at other times with wit as dry as a martini. Features a stellar cast inluding Mary Fettig, Andrew Chaikin, Joe Finetti, Steve Erquiaga and Gunnar Madsen.
