Jan August - Favorites

Review by Taylor Renaud

Favorites is a delightful album by the talented pianist Jan August. The album is a compilation of some of the most popular songs of the time, including "Blue Skies," "Stardust," and "I'll Be Seeing You." Jan August's skillful playing brings these classics to life, and his unique interpretation of each song makes for a fresh and enjoyable listening experience.

The album opens with the upbeat tune "In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Jan August's lively playing and the catchy melody of the song make it an instant favorite. "Blue Skies" is another standout track, with August's nimble fingers dancing across the keys in perfect sync with the song's cheerful melody.

One of the most impressive things about this album is the range of emotions it evokes. From the melancholic "Stardust" to the romantic "I'll Be Seeing You," Jan August's playing is able to capture the essence of each song and convey its emotional depth.
