Mark Winkler
Sings Bobby Troup

Winkler's magnificent Sings Bobby Troup is an exciting and passionate musical valentine to a legend whose vocal stylings and music helped define the West Coast cool of another place and time. Mark sings such proven Troup standards as "Route 66", "Baby, Baby All the Time" and "Girl Talk", but delves deeper into the Troup songbook to sing such lesser known treasures as "Three Bears", "Hungry Man" and the never recorded before - "Learn to Love".

Route 66          Hungry Man          You're Lookin' at Me         Three Bears

Produced by Barbara Brighton, who also helmed "Easy the Hard Way", "Mark Winkler Sings Bobby Troup" features the bright and infinitely jazzy backing of two famed Los Angeles ensembles c the Anthony Wilson Trio, featuring Wilson's electric guitar dazzle, and pianist Jon Mayer's group, which plays with Winkler in Los Angeles. Bob Shepard's sax adds a soulful texture in all the right spots as well.

Sharing, as Winkler sings on the lone original song "Two Guys from the Coast", "a love of all things that swing", the singer and his late muse, Bobby Troup, bring that vibe to a new generation. "When I sing 'Lemon Twist', I imagine I'm wearing a turtleneck and holding a martini and all is right with the world," says Winkler. "When I sing Bobby Troup, I can't help but feel cool."

World of Mark Winkler
includes such favorites as:

"Garden of Earthly Delights"
with Dianne Reeves,
"Scattin' in the Moonlight",
"Rainbows" with David Benoit
and everybody's favorite,
"Everybody Cha-Cha".

Plus, the second CD is a treasure chest of undiscovered stuff I've dug up, including 2 songs which I recorded with Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons and the original demos of "Ebony Rain" and "Beauty and the Beach".

This CD contains an amazing array of talent, including: Tom Scott, Peter White, Boney James, Grant Geissman, Freddie Ravel, Neil Stubenhaus, Julie Kelly, Sam Riney and "Doc" Powell.
