What the critics are saying… "Ron Kaplan is an original personality in the world of jazz vocalists and he has managed to put his name into that previously closed inner circle. He has breathed new life into it by the sheer force of his style, for as you know, “the style is the man himself”. The Velvet Crooner and the elegant power of his seemingly casual phrasing is in fact, ultra-tight and perfectly seductive." --Jean Szlamowicz, Jazz Hot “This is one male vocalist destined to become one of the greats in the field. Ron Kaplan is the genuine article.” …D. David Dreis “The heart and soul of a mature vocalist and leader…” …Jazz Improv Magazine “Kaplan phrases with sophisticated ease at any tempo.” …JazzTimes Magazine “What you have here is one of the most original singers to come along in quite some time from the jazz singing school of Mark Murphy and Tony Bennett polished off with some unique and handy swinging.” … In Tune International “Jazz singers come and go; few have staying power. Kaplan is one you can bet will be around for some time.
