Recording information: Bennett Studios, Englewood, New Jersey. New York jazz/pop cult heroes Dave's True Story both outlived and transcended the '90s lounge revival through the strength of both David Cantor's witty, urbane, and deceptively deep songwriting, and chanteuse Kelly Flint's bewitching, understated style. Their fourth album, NATURE, is their most polished to date and, ironically, their least jazzy, with Cantor moving toward a more pentatonic pop mode, with any swing-kitsch leanings definitively excised. In other words, it's a perfect entry-point into the rarefied delights of the band's sui generis aesthetic viewpoint.
Industry Reviews Flint and Cantor serve up what might best be described as self-help jazz infused with street-smart cynicism.
