America – Carl Saunders
After electrifying standing-ovation live shows with his version of “America,” Saunders “felt like Wayne Newton” — so he recorded a studio version! A dynamic lineup of LA-based musicians on a blended program of tasty originals and recognizable standards, from a tribute to Bunny Berigan (singing “I Can’t Get Started”) to the original “Bumble Bee Blues” (based on the iconic “Flight of the Bumble Bee”), this is just solid, great jazz!
