And the CD marks the recording debut of an extraordinary talent, vocalist-saxophonist Danny Bacher (pronounced: Back-er). Danny unleashes his substantial chops and signature wit to pay homage to three jazz firebrands - Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, and Louis Jordan - in a series of kinetic tunes that vibrantly reimagine classics from the three Louis' repertoire for today's audience. Danny hails from New Jersey and was raised on classic jazz and the American popular songbook. Vocally, he possesses a warm smoky tone; instrumentally, he favors a lush and lyrical soprano sax style that complements perfectly his role as storyteller. Trained in music, theater, and comedy, Danny is a born performer, perfectly poised to summon the spirit and legacies of the three Louis. Danny understands the 360 of entertainment - he's also a proven playwright and comedian who first garnered notice off-Broadway and has toured nationally and internationally with his original work. Joining Danny is an all-star lineup of jazz luminaries: Warren Vache -Cornet, Jay Rodriguez- Tenor Sax, Pete McGuinness -Trombone, Jason Teborek - Piano, Dean Johnson -Bass, Tim Horner- Drums, along with guest vocalist Vanessa Racci. Marilyn Maye directs. There is a $22.50 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
