Pat O'Day With Vin Parlay's Orchestra & Chorus - Three Roads

Review by Jürgen Driessen

Three Roads, the latest album from Pat O'Day with Vin Parlay's Orchestra & Chorus, is a delightful journey through the world of jazz and swing. The album features a wide range of songs, from classic standards to original compositions, all performed with skill and style.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Three Roads," a swinging tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. O'Day's smooth vocals are perfectly complemented by the lively brass and percussion of the orchestra, making for a toe-tapping start to the album.

Other standout tracks include "Ain't Misbehavin'," a classic tune that's given new life by O'Day's soulful vocals, and "I Love Paris," a romantic ballad that showcases the orchestra's ability to create lush, sweeping arrangements.

Throughout the album, O'Day's vocals are the star of the show, with each song showcasing his impressive range and emotive delivery. The orchestra and chorus provide the perfect backing, with each musician adding their own unique flair to the mix.
