In the tradition of very passionate gut-wreching vocal performances of Jazz by artists such as Andy Bey and Leon Thomas, singer Matthew Halsall also gives his all to the mellow swing of Dwight Trible on their 2017 cover of the Burt Bacharach classic "What the World Needs Now Is Love". From Dwight's album "Inspirations".
