Just voice and guitar. What a great idea! Keep it simple. And that’s exactly what happens on this thoughtful collaboration with Judy Philbin, voice, and Adam Levine, guitar. Titled “Keeping it Simple”, the album is an eclectic blend of jazz standards, popular and originals, showcasing Philbin’s articulate, expressive vocals alongside Levine’s masterful rhythmic and improvisational talents, with influences of acoustic steel string finger-style, classical, jazz, world music, and blues. Featuring the styles of Frankie Lyman to Django Reinhart, Hoagy Carmichael to Roy Orbison, the listener is treated to constant surprises. Sometimes you’ll hear one guitar track. Sometimes two. Sometimes three or four, as Adam adeptly creates an orchestra with just six strings. “In the filed of highly produced music, we wanted it to be a unique creation, using just what we each brought to the table,” says Philbin. “At times, when we were tempted to add other instruments, we reminded ourselves that we were ‘keeping it simple’. And it worked!“
