As recommended by
THE HESSION SESSION.
For some time now, the amazing vocal similarity between Dublin's Séan Hession and one Francis Albert Sinatra has captivated audiences at Seán's sell-out concerts throughout the country. Now, at last, those who were not lucky enough to see Séan in person can have a taste of what it was like to be there.
Accompanied by a sixteen-piece big band, a swinging quartet, or simply a solo piano or guitar, Seán's immaculate phrasing makes this album as close as one can get to the live experience.
Just check out the blues-drenched re-working of "willow, weep for me", the easy swing of "the way you look tonight" or the headlong urgency of "Just one of those things" played by the cream of Irish jazz and you'll get the idea. So, just sit back and press the "start" button: the voice is all Hession but the feeling is frankly...Sinatra !

Let's face the music and dance
I only have eyes for you
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Come rain or come shine
The tender trap
From here to eternity
The way you look tonight
Night and day
Once upon a time
Willow weep for me
Just one of those things
Ol' man river
Soliloquy
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
Without a song
Angel eyes
