We have a lot of very gifted musicians in our ensemble, but none more so than James Bassi. A core member of our tenor section for decades, Jim is also a highly noted composer, arranger, conductor, accompanist and vocal coach. When we made our crossover CD for Delos of Jerome Kern songs, Can’t Help Singing, we naturally turned to Jim for his incredibly inventive arrangements which not only make instruments and voices sound beautiful, but are true to the song itself. This fabulous arrangement is so much fun. It brings a smile to the face! Jim, you are the best!!!
