Marc Jordan, Waiting for the Sun to Rise.
This 15th album from Toronto-based Marc Jordan is a moody pop gem that weds his sublime vocals to gorgeous arrangements for piano and orchestra by producer Lou Pomanti. The material is as good as its presentation: it includes a few well-chosen covers, such as Jimmy Webb’s “The Moon’s a Harsh Mistress” and Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” but love songs co-written by Jordan predominate, among them the exquisite title cut and the jazzy “Coltrane Plays the Blues.” By Jeff Burger

"I’m not sure whether there is a more sensual male voice out there than the one of Canadian ace Marc Jordan. He’s like a modern Frank Sinatra but also with a vibe of both Al Jarreau and Leonard Cohen… Simply amazing. This man is able to deliver soft jazz in a way that few can master. All in all, lovely to hear another album by this hero! And Marc still sings like a God." - By Ola Gränshagen melodic.net
