Praise for "Warm Spring Night" "Warm Spring Night has Philip Chaffin crooning 14 Broadway songs from the famous ('My Romance') to the obscure ('There's a Room in My House'). Chaffin's lush tenor voice makes all of them sound enchanting." - Newark Star-Ledger "In addition to an attractive, warm, and direct manner of singing, Chaffin has excellent taste in material. He handles everything here in impassioned yet elegant fashion, and the program is a pleasure. It's an outstanding recital." - Broadway.com [read the full review here] "Superb... a class act... [Chaffin] sings with care and intelligence, one of those you can call not just a singer but an artist." - Talkin' Broadway "Chaffin's voice is warm, comfortable, inviting and always respectful and supportive of the material. You need but listen to the first 8 bars of "Sailing at Midnight" before you think, now here's a song. The stunning "Haunted Heart," the lilting "Heaven in My Arms," the ever-tender "My Romance" are joined by less obvious choices like "There's a Room in My House" (from Kander's A Family Affair), "Silly People" (from Sondheim's A Little Night Music) and "You've Come Home" (from Coleman and Leigh's Wildcat). To hear these songs is to love them." – Playbill.com "Tenor Philip Chaffin's Warm Spring Night is a rich and romantic follow-up to his Where Do I Go From You? Most of the songs are accompanied by a lush orchestra, but Jeff Harris's piano is the only accompaniment in the highlight of the album, the standard "That's All," which with "My Romance" and "Out of My Dreams" proves that great standards can coexist happily with unfamiliar fare in a classy setting such as this." - Amazon.com "This collection should appeal to all who have affection for good songs well sung. It is exciting to hear a quality singer take the time to seek out and perform wonderful material that seems to go into hiding." - Jersey Jazz "When it comes to vocal albums, [they] don’t get much more beautiful than Philip Chaffin’s Warm Spring Night. Lavishly produced with a lush 37-piece orchestra, Chaffin’s sumptuous lyric tenor sounds gorgeous on this collection of diverse songs that’s eclectic as it is beautiful.” - Next Magazine "A wonderful collection of Broadway show music. Chaffin's mellow and lush voice is rich and wonderful... [He] is a dynamic musical theatre singer, and Warm Spring Night is a lovely listen. Grade: A" - Broadway's Biggest Hits
Praise for "Where Do I Go From You?" “Filled with classic songs that are beautifully sung .... Chaffin has a flexible and soaring instrument whose honey-colored timbre is ideally suited for this genre of music. He is as comfortable swinging the beat ("I Hear Music"/"Some Like It Hot") as he is singing a ballad ("The Way You Look Tonight") and has a clean, unpretentious sound that is both refreshing and sexy. It's easy to close your eyes and imagine him standing on a bandstand in front of an old-fashioned microphone while the lights from a mirror ball swirl around the dance floor.” - Show Business “A wonderful album ..... Chaffin's full and rich voice is easy and relaxed. He is backed by a full orchestra that provides wonderful orchestrations of these classic tunes... This album is a treasure. Grade: A.” -Broadway’s Biggest Hits “May I whole-heartedly suggest Philip Chaffin’s big-band CD, Where Do I Go From You? Possessing a rich tenor voice that simply melts into the songs and becomes another instrument in the 40-plus piece orchestra led by Eric Stern, Philip is so perfectly suited for the material that it makes you long for a return to the’30s and ’40s .... a treasure trove of familiar and unfamiliar material.” -Talkin’ Broadway "Chaffin's mellifluous-toned tenor fits this music like a formfitting suede glove. And he does so seemingly without any effort at all, like honey running off the tongue. This album has everything going for it: attractive, familiar music; well-constructed charts; and a topflight orchestra to play them all in support of a singer with a highly engaging voice who clearly loves what he is doing." -All Music Guide |
