The rousing cheers from the sellout crowd at the Jumpin’ Jazz Ballroom in Milan, Italy on January 12 summed it up. Italians love the American songbook especially, when interpreted by a real “live” American singer, and that singer was Frank Lamphere. Lamphere who had sang three sets was already backstage when the crowd insisted on an encore. The dance floor filled again as Frank sent them home humming the melody to Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust. Plans for a return engagement and an extended tour are in negotiations.
