Holding Back the Dawn is a very romantic, thoughtful, and extremely musical performance. Every song is treated with the Tender Loving Care that it deserves by this wonderful group of musicians. Jake has a lovely voice aside from playing excellent trumpet — and cares about the ‘art of story telling’ through both instruments. His song choice is both lovingly familiar and refreshingly original. You will love this album — put it on and dance with the closest person around.

—Karrin Allyson, Grammy-nominated vocalist
