"Fabulous singing" "I was concerned when given this CD, not another jazz wanna be, you know the kind that sings without any soul. Rob Dorn proved this vocal snob wrong. He has control over his pacing and and you feel his passion coming through his voice. This man loves to croon. I will follow Dorn into the future. Bravo!" -Killian Produced by Rob Dorn Vocals: Rob Dorn/ Piano: Gary Gimmestad, Dan Chouinard and Tom Mustachio/Guitar: David Single/Bass: Bruce Calin/Drums: Dave Hansel/Fiddle and Mandolin: Peter Ostroushko/Flute, Tenor Sax: Mark Henderson/Recorded, Mixed and Mastering: Matthew Zimmerman, Wild Sound Studios, Minneapolis, Minnesota/Art Direction: Rob Dorn/Photos: Peter Pan Studios, Gus Gustafson/ Copyright 2000 Rob Dorn All Rights Reserved
"I was inspired by Vince Guaraldi and 'The Charlie Brown Christmas" album from the 1960's. I paired that with my love for such singing greats as Vic Damone, Andy Williams and Nat King Cole."

For more than ten years, was the creator, artistic director and vocalist with “Three Hits and a Miss” (Rob was a hit!) Singing four part tight pop harmony, Rob along with David Anderson, Jerome Elsbernd and Jody Briskey offer up everything from vintage 40's to pop 60's. This is a great CD representing some of the best songs of the 20th Century. "Minnesota-based Swing/Pop/Jazz quartet 3 Hits and a Miss, founded in 1995, really come into their vocal power with "Mixing," their third excellent CD. Return with us now to the 1940s (covers of the Turtles' "Happy Together," the 5th Dimensions' "Up, Up and Away/Aquarius," the Mamas and the Papas' "California Dreamin'" and Lennon/McCartney's "Nowhere Man" and "Got to Get You Into My Life" notwithstanding)--this is wonderfully crafted "high-fidelity" harmony. The afore-mentioned covers fit in beautifully because they have the kind of beautiful melodies that could have been hits in the 40s. All accompanied, these 12 hits just keep on comin': "Bounce Me Brother with a Solid Four/Four," "Pop Goes the Weasel," "Goody Goody," "Glow Worm," "Dream" and bonus track, Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land." This CD is big fun from start to finish, and 3 Hits and a Miss are having it--they prove that they can sing with the best of any musical period!" -Primarily A Cappella
