While perhaps best known for his spirited standard "Route 66," the legendary singer, pianist, tunesmisth and master lyricist left behind a deep and wild treasure trove of quirky/playful and heartfelt songs from which Winkler pays homage to in his latest album I'M WITH YOU. The 12-track collection is a uniaque gathering of freshly re-imagined Troup songs done in Winkler's cool and swinging manner. The project came about when Troup's two daughters, Ronne and Cynnie gifterd Winkler with a box of Troup's personal sheet music and 8 CDs iof Troup tunes. Featured Musicians include: Kevin Axt/Joe Bagg/Gabe Davis/ Rich Eames/Mark Ferber/ Grant Geissman/ Bob Shppard/Dave Tull/ Anthony Wilson Produced by Mark Winkler and Dolores Scozzesi Attachments I'm With Y..

JSngry Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Is this a different record than this? https://www.allmusic.com/album/sings-bobby-troup-mw0000596165 I've long felt that "You're Looking At Me" is a standard sorely in need of being standard-ed. What a great song, in every regard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted October 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 "I'm With You: Mark Winkler sings Bobby Troup" was just picked "Critics Choice" One of the Top Ten CDs of 2019 Jazz Times Review Mark Winkler wanted another bite of the apple, and Bobby Troup’s zesty book of rhythm patter, swooning ballads, and novelty numbers provides plenty of creative nourishment. His second album devoted to the songs of the jazz-steeped pianist, songwriter, singer, and actor, I’m With You offers a welcome reminder of Troup’s sturdy book...each song on I’m With You gets a thoughtful arrangement that brings out its particular character. A prolific Los Angeles songwriter and singer with rhythmically assured phrasing and a warm, affable tone, Winkler effectively highlights the strengths of his fellow tunesmith. He also makes excellent use of an enviable cast of L.A. players On the Jazzweek Top 50 for four weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
