Finck's c.v. includes touring and recording with Woody Herman, Dizzy Gillespie, Tony Bennett, Natalie Cole, André Previn and a host of pop stars prior to becoming one of New York's first-call bassists and bandleaders adept in any musical situation as this album proves.
A choice selection of standards and Finck originals all given a new twist and all peppered with impressive solos from, but not exclusively, Snitzer, Davis, Johnson, Mann, Ruby and, of course, the leader whose rich tone whether plucked or bowed adds an extra dimension. Strangely, Ryan Quigley plays on a couple of tracks although he doesn't solo.
Vocals from Penteriche and Curless on Bateu, Leyou/Who's Wrong or Right? Kelly Mittleman on So What and Melissa Errico on I Remember provide the icing on a very tasty delicacy. Watch out for an exciting new album out now by Errico that was produced by David Finck - Lance
