Review by Ebony Martenz

Memories Of Al Jolson by Norman Brooks is a delightful tribute to one of the greatest performers of the 20th century. The album features twelve timeless classics, including "Swanee," "California, Here I Come," and "Mammy," all of which are performed with great passion and reverence.

Brooks' smooth, velvety voice is perfectly suited for these beloved songs, and his heartfelt renditions capture the essence of Jolson's music. From the upbeat and lively "Toot Toot Tootsie" to the tender and emotional "April Showers," Brooks' performances are consistently captivating.

The arrangements on the album are also noteworthy, with the use of a full orchestra adding depth and richness to the already beautiful melodies. The production quality is top-notch, and the album as a whole is a testament to the enduring legacy of Al Jolson's music.
