Editorial review
Ron Kaplan clearly loves to sing, and his musical role models are Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. He puts plenty of sincerity into this set of duets with pianist Weber Iago, and it almost compensates for the unadventurous interpretations, occasional missed notes, and so-so intonation. Perhaps singing in a saloon before a chattering audience would be an ideal location for the vocalist, but on a studio session documented forever, the results are merely listenable and pleasant. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Santa Cruz vocalist Ron Kaplan's musical style is reminiscent of the great jazz vocalists of the 1950's. Critics note his sophisticated phrasing, tone and diction. They also recognize his ability to get to the heart of a song with his own mark of musicianship.
A third generation native of Los Angeles, Ron was born in Hollywood, California. He grew up in a musical household. His father was a trumpet player during the west coast jazz scene of the 1950's in L.A. His mother was an avid fan of vocal music during the heyday of the great American Jazz singers. The atmosphere was filled with music.
During his school years he developed his musical, acting, and comedy skills performing with the music and theatre departments and competing in speech tournaments. After high school he continued to study acting, standup comedy, music and broadcasting. In 1976 he received his Associate In Arts degree from L.A. Valley College.
