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.
New York's jazzy pop trio Dave's True Story dims the lights and darkens the grooves on their new CD "Nature," cleverly exploring the topics of love, sleeplessness and global ennui. Lyricist, guitarist Dave Cantor, jazzy chanteuse Kelly Flint, and produce
