Bridging popular music and jazz is a high wire act. Insuring authenticity in both genres is a tough job. Vocalist/saxophonist David Caceres achieves these with aplomb on his new self -titled Sunnyside Records release. Backed by an incredible band of jazz's elite and orchestra arranged by the fantastic Gil Goldstein, Caceres delivers captivating interpretations of songs by legends of popular music (Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison, and Maxwell) and those of jazz (Thelonious Monk and Herbie Hancock). Caceres reveals a command of saxophone, voice and pen with two original compositions on this album.
