London-based jazz vocalist James Hudson says his goal with music is to bring a bit of joy to someone's day, and he certainly does that with his debut album Tomorrow. Along with his musical collaborators Nick Fitch and Joe Hill, James bring a pleasant twist to classic standards like "Pennies from Heaven," "Tomorrow" and "Almost Like Being in Love," that remind us to keep our chins up. He balances it out with a mournful bossa nova version of "It Had to Be You," and a somber treatment of "Someone to Watch Over Me," with a beautiful arco bass. James Hudson's takes on songs that have lasted over 100 years are a sure sign that they're bound to last a 100 more in the hands of great musicians.
