DAVE ZINNO UNISPHERE/Stories Told: The bass ace leads a bunch of gringos through the funky side of samba/jazz that’s so wild and wooly you might not recognize the source. High octane stuff well powered by a crew that likes letting their chops fly high and mighty, the summer jazz aspect is undeniable and it sounds like a party is in their air once this set achieves lift off. Well done.

Having honed his chops in NYC, the jazz capital of the world, Bacher exudes the emotion of a seasoned veteran performer, mixed with his own youthful vigor and bounce. He has a palpable innate magnetism that can’t be taught. From his catchy, toe-tappin’ renditions of rare gems to classic takes on the Great American Songbook, Bacher is always at home on the stage and presents his case with elegance, style and class.
On his first CD debut on Whaling City Sound, Danny presented ‘Swing That Music!’ – A musical tribute to the three Louis…Armstrong, Prima & Jordan – to rave reviews with an “A” list band of jazz royalty including cornetist Warren Vaché (Rosemary Clooney/Annie Ross); drummer Bill Goodwin (Phil Woods); guitarist Howard Alden (Woody Allen films); Jazz tenor sax legend Houston Person (Etta Jones, Freddy Cole), Grammy nominated trombonist & arranger, Pete McGuinness; pianist/arranger Jason Taborek; and saxophonist David Demsey (William Patterson College). Adding to this beautiful rainbow of sound is ‘rising star’ Cyrille Aimee on two outstanding duets with Bacher, forming a truly musical dream team.
