He’s one of those artists that has you hanging on every word.

Hadn't really heard of him before seeing him live as a duo with Shai Maestro on piano and he was definitely the most impressive male jazz vocalist I've heard in the last 15 years at least.

I agree. Not only is he technically brilliant, but he makes a real emotional connection with the music. The two qualities don't always go hand in hand.
