In his self-titled debut, “Now Presenting: Emmett Martin Hatlelid,” Emmett evokes the authentic sound of another era. He encapsulates his abilities as a small group leader in both a trio and duo setting. His vocal stylings with his rapid vibrato and romantic delivery are heavily influenced by the vocalists of the Twenties and Thirties, such as Al Bowlly, Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, the Mills Brothers, and Annette Hanshaw. With a selection of three classic standards, and two lesser-known works, the album is a pleasurable respite from our hurried and over-produced world.
