Toni & Guy
I have visited a few of Toni & Guy salons, so I now feel that I can write this review.
In 1963 Toni & Guy first salon opened in Clapham London. From there on in, there was no stopping them, nearly every big town has one. If I am correct they also have or are expanding abroad.
If you have visited 1 or more Toni & Guy salon?s you will notice that they are all the same, from the chairs to the sinks, the walls to the floor. Each salon is identical, being the inside.
They have a uniform of Black and White. Black bottoms with a White top, they do have their own logo t-shirts in which some staff do wear.
The salons I have visited ?
Chichester in West Sussex, owned by a man called Jeff.
Basildon in Essex, owned by a man called Billy. This opened in August 1999. Billy is sponsoring Miss Essex at the moment ...

Advantages: Lots of big tracks Disadvantages: Nothing specific
The Oakland, California group, Tony! Toni! Toné!, released their second album, ?The Revival? in 1990. The R&B group dropped this album right in the middle of the New Jack Swing era of the genre, and so this is much of what you get from the band as well as a little Soul from them as you have Raphael Saadiq lead on the vocals with his brother D?Wayne Wiggins and cousin Timothy Christian Riley (in addition to many other people with instrumentals).
1. ?Feels Good?
To get this album underway, you have a track which has the band getting down with their first chart-topping single. It has them work with Mopreme Shakur (stepbrother to 2Pac) in a banger of a jam which has them throw down some heavy, feel-good New Jack Swing to the listeners. It is just the right way to begin things as you hear that they choose to excite listeners on Breakbeats ...
Advantages: Classic songs given a new slant Disadvantages: One or two weak tracks
. Rightly so, in this instance, since the song is undisputedly his theme tune, and here he gives it the simplest, but nonetheless effective of treatments. The piano accompaniment is minimal, and in places, Bennett could almost be singing a capella, proving that he doesn't need a big backing orchestra to do justice to the song with which he will always be linked.
The biggest surprise of all for me was George Michael's performance in How Do You Keep The Music Playing, surely not the easiest of songs to sing. Michael's voice takes on a depth which isn't, perhaps, heard in much of his contemporary work, and he proves more than capable of holding onto a note, complementing Bennett's style perfectly during Michel LeGrand's haunting melody.
Until now, I've barely mentioned the performance of TonyBennett himself, saving, as it were, the best ...

Album Notes
Personnel include: Tony Bennett (vocals); Ruby Braff (cornet); Bill Evans (piano); Chuck Hughes (drums). Recording information: 1973 - 1976. This set of romantic songs sung by Tony Bennett mostly dates from his 1970s heyday. Though pieces recorded with various orchestras, like "As Time Goes By" and "Minha (All Mine)" find the singer at his sophisticated best, the cuts recorded with pianist Bill Evans, with the pianist playing both solo and in a small group setting, are most exquisitely realized.
