This is a sampler of Ike Moriz's 2011 Jazz/Swing album "C'est Si Bon". Hear Ike's songs from his 10th studio album release and see pictures from his music career as well as some of his original photography.
Press release Feb 2011:
Ike Moriz is starting 2011 with a bang! "South Africa's Tony Bennett" (Full Circle) is bringing out a brand new 15 track swing album, his 10th studio album. It features South African guitarist Morné Van Der Merwe, Navy big band leader Willie Van Zyl on clarinet & saxophone as well as A. McPike on keys (responsible for arrangements).
The fresh new CD has a distinctive minimalist feel to it, thriving on Ike's shining, full-bodied, smooth and diverse vocals. It contains many classic hits from the swing genre, including 4 songs with French lyrics: La Mer, Les Feuilles Mortes, Hymn A L'Amour and the title track C'est Si Bon.
A sound feast from the southern most point of Africa worthy of exploration.
"The rich resonance of his voice makes Michael Buble's seem rather thin... Comparisons with the great Tony Bennett are inevitable, Ike Moriz performing swing is that good!" (FULL CIRCLE)
SA'S OWN INDIE-POP IDOL (The Citizen)
"His rock/indie sound is acoustic and edgy but still made for easy listening!" (Cosmopolitan)
"..This cat writes a fine tune. Listen to it when wearing velvet and drinking martinis!" (FHM)
