Brian Stokes Mitchell

The long-awaited debut recording for a singer and actor that defies categorizing. Equally at home with a standard, a showtune or a jazz infused classic, Brian Stokes Mitchell’s voice stands out in a league all its own, making comparisons almost impossible. His musicianship, vocal instrument and ability to turn a phrase, can evoke a mood or an emotion and cause a thrilling “chill” — all at the same time. Stokes’ choices of songs, arrangements and orchestrations are beautifully mixed by 14 time GRAMMY winner, Al Schmitt.
