RECENT REVIEWS OF "WARM SPRING NIGHT":

In the December Jazz Times, Christopher Loudon raves, "Philip Chaffin is owner and operator of one of those great, big voices that, reminiscent of John Raitt, Alfred Drake and David Kernan, can fill every nook, cranny and rafter-high crevice of a Broadway palace. Chaffin is a keen musical-theater scholar and sidesteps safe, predictable fare in favor of some delectable surprises. Most gratifying is John Kander's early-career "There's a Room in My House," a meditative confection in the tradition of "The Folks Who Live on the Hill."

In the Toronto Star, Richard Ouzounian recommends, "This is worth adding to your collection, not just for the supple beauty of Chaffin's voice, which manages to be robust yet delicate at the same time, but for this imaginatively chosen selection of 14 love songs. Most of them are lesser-known works by well-known composers, from Gershwin to Kern and Kander to Coleman, but every one is a gem. It all comes together perfectly in a number like "Haunted Heart" by Dietz and Schwartz which will stay with you for a long time. Forget the title; this CD is perfect for a summer night, worth listening to with someone you care for."

RADIO ROUNDUP: On Northeast Public Radio, Wally Rubin told listeners, "If you have a love for passion and romance as expressed in great musical theatre songs, you should do yourself a favor and seek out Warm Spring Night. Chaffin’s second solo CD is a glorious collection of romantic musical numbers." Zack Bigner at Maximum Broadway Radio raved, "Philip sings with a subtlety and confidence that is far too rare today. His performances are so effortless that it is easy to overlook how remarkable they are." And on Capital Public Radio, Stephen Peithman noted, "Philip Chaffin's first CD is never far from my CD player, so I was pleased to see the arrival of his second outing. Chaffin's warm tenor voice is just right for the exquisite 'Haunted Heart,' and he caresses the hell out of 'My Romance' and 'That's All.' Chaffin also offers a mini-autobiography of himself that is sweetly unaffected and frequently touching -- just like his performances."
