Excerpt
.Review of Malcolm McNeill and Dave Frishberg CD "West
79th Street"
Believe it or not
this lad hails all the way from New Zealand, and does he sing! The combination
of singer and pianist has never been more ideal.
Dan Singer -
from Singer's Singers "IN TUNE MAGAZINE, New York"
"You not only hear every word, but its sense and emotional meaning
too. This is the most expressive singing."
Owen Jensen
Wellington Evening Post. New Zealand.
There are only a handful of truly great interpreters of The great American
popular song in the world today - in that group is McNeill."
Ray Harris. The
NZ Listener.
" His concern for the words, his melodic inventiveness and his
control -
provided several lessons in musicianship in one spellbinding performance
"
Nelson Mail NZ
"A performance
by New Zealand singer Malcolm McNeill is a celebration of the art of
interpreting the Great American Popular Song."
Joya Jensen
Sydney Morning Herald. Australia.
" SUBLIME ! Others may have sung it but McNeill seemed to own it.
He made every song his own in moving, sometimes thrilling renditions
-
this was less a performance than a feeling given breath."
The Dominion.
New Zealand.
"Very simply my favourite singer."
Mother.
