As trends in popular music arrive and disappear at ever-increasing speed, the reputations of classic performers from a previous generation, like Tony Bennett or Ella Fitzgerald, keep growing in stature. It will always be a daunting challenge for a young artist to try to rival the achievements of these icons of song, but Matt Dusk has the ambition and balls to give it a try.
His debut album was recorded in Miami and Abbey Road and includes his version of the Beatles' Please, Please Me and Two Shots of Happy which was written by Bono for Frank Sinatra.
Dusk has selected his material to show off the various dimensions of his artistry, and his feel for music is all the more remarkable considering that in his early youth, he appeared to be destined for a career in classical music.
