A Canadian singer who revived classic standards and made Christmas songs his own.
For a quick sense of his range, put on "Sway" for the upbeat swing, then "When I Fall In Love" for the straight-ahead romance. They cover the ground pretty well.
He brought swing and jazz back to mainstream radio in the 2000s with songs like "Feeling Good" and "Home." His holiday tracks, like "It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas," now feel as familiar as any traditional carol. That mix of romantic standards and seasonal staples keeps him in heavy rotation year-round.
He grew up in an Italian-Canadian home hearing jazz and folk music, which shaped his style. His self-titled debut in 2003 set the template, followed by albums like "It's Time" and "Crazy Love." Along the way, he recorded duets with Tony Bennett and built a holiday catalog that sticks.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
