Cover of the 1986 Phyllis Hyman tune, in tribute to this beautiful and much-missed singing star, who was an idol, a friend and musical mentor. Written by Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff & Cynthia Biggs. Sean Bray on guitar and George Koller on bass. Recorded in 1999.

You Just Don't Know

A John Hiatt tune from my 1999 debut CD "Trust the Vibe". Sean Bray on guitar and George Koller on upright bass.

Lover's Will

This haunting version of the Leon Russell tune... always felt connected to it and even though it strayed from my "jazz" styling, I really wanted it on my first album. Sean Bray (guitar) and George Koller (bass). Recorded in 1999.

A Song For You

A beautiful ballad written in 1947 by Herb Ellis, John Frigo, and Lou Carter. For my 2001 version, I had Mike Murley on sax, Matthias Lupri on vibes, Sean Bray on guitar, Artie Roth on bass and Ted Warren on the drums. 

Detour Ahead

From my very first CD "Trust the Vibe" in 1999. One of my originals, and very nearly covered by the late, great Julie Wilson. The ending was re-written in 2005 with the help of famed songwriters Carol Hall and Heather MacRae. This is the original version. Sean Bray on guitar and George Koller on the bass. 

Almost You (Original Version)

I grew up listening to jazz and was instantly attracted to the Latin and Brazilian artists and their recordings, so I wanted to pay homage to them on my third CD release. This Jobim/Lees tune is one of my all-time favourites! It's still a dream of mine to do an entire project of this style of jazz. Special thanks to my bassist Louis Simao for the coaching.  Muito obrigado pela atenção.

Dreamer (Vivo Sonhando)

I grew up listening to jazz and was instantly attracted to the Latin and Brazilian artists and their recordings, particularly Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. Mais Que Nada (by Jorge Ben) is one of my all-time favourites and aside from the fantastic Sean Bray and George Koller, we had legendary Pat LaBarbera wailing on sax! Muito obrigado pela atenção.

Mais Que Nada

"Me and Mrs. Jones" is a 1972 soul song written by Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, and Cary Gilbert, and originally recorded by Billy Paul. The single became Paul's only #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at that position for three weeks in December 1972. Here I put my spin on it with the fabulous George Lake Big Band in March 2016.

Me & Mrs. Jones - with the George Lake Big Band

The George Lake Big Band provides an easy swinging backdrop for me to interpret this classic 1962 song composed by Jimmy Van Heusen with lyrics written by Sammy Cahn. Frank Sinatra's recording, from his 1963 album Sinatra's Sinatra, is perhaps the most celebrated version. However, the single by Jack Jones (Kapp 0062) was a radio hit.

Call Me Irresponsible - with The George Lake Big Band

This is one of those ultimate ballads; a 1946 popular song composed by Matt Dennis, with lyrics by Earl Brent. Here's an evocative version with the smashing George Lake Big Band. I hadn't sung this in twenty years!

Angel Eyes - with The George Lake Big Band

An original tune written by Vincent Wolfe (on vocals) and Sean Bray (guitars) from the 2010 CD release "Weaver of Dreams". Also on the album are Louis Simao (bass), Lina Allemano (trumpet) and Barry Romberg (drums & percussion). 

Divided

A funky jazz-pop track written by Sean Bray and Vincent Wolfe. It was originally released on the 2001 CD "Until Tomorrow". Guest artist Matthias Lupri on vibes. 

Another Point Of View

My cover of the well-known James Taylor tune from the 70's. Features Sean Bray on guitar, Lina Allemano on trumpet, Louis Simao on bass and Barry Romberg on drums. What a quartet!!! I still do this one in concert...

Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight

A lovely tune in the bossa style written by Sean Bray and myself for my second CD "Until Tomorrow" back in 2001. Vincent Wolfe (vocals), Sean Bray (guitar), Jim Vivian (bass) & Ted Warren (drums). Album released on Counterpoint Records.

Life Into A Song

Recorded live from the Queen's Room on the Queen Victoria. 

You Are the Sunshine Of My Life (Live)

Jazz-Cabaret crooner Vincent Wolfe, whose velvety voice has been described by Manhattan Transfer founding member Laurel Massé as “somewhere between Chet Baker and Mel Tormé…” has been a favourite on the Canadian jazz scene for the past dozen years. Based in Toronto, Vincent has toured the club and festival circuit here, and in select U.S. and European cities. 

His 2008 cabaret debut in New York garnered him a prestigious MAC award nomination, and he performs there regularly. Vincent also spent two tears performing on “The most famous ocean liners in the world ™” ─ Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria as the Queen’s Room Orchestra vocalist. 

A protégé of renowned jazz-soul artists like Marlena Shaw, and the late, great Phyllis Hyman, Vincent has met and worked with some of the top Canadian and American sidemen in the business. His warm stage presence and love of audiences is ever-present, whether he’s in a duo, trio, quartet, or orchestra setting. Noted Canadian entertainment columnist John Kennedy has dubbed Wolfe “Canada’s next jazz star-in-waiting.”

Vincent’s recently released (third) CD, entitled “Weaver of Dreams” is garnering raves from fans and critics alike and has been particularly well-received in the U.S. and Europe. He’s currently making waves in the big band scene as lead vocalist with the sensational Bob Cary Orchestra.
