One of the most accomplished young trumpeters of his generation, James McMillan is increasingly in demand as a producer and arranger of other peolpes' hits. His debut for M.E.L.T.2000 is a contemporary 90's homage to the classic ballads albums of the 50's and 60's. Featuring proper, classic songs, superb players and the impeccable vocals of Mark Anthoni and Joy Rose, 'Ballads' is the kind of record they don't make any more.
