Ben Cassara - Sister Moon (2013)

"Cassara…gives a song a unique distinctive flavor all it's own…incredibly intimate…" Will Friedwald music critic for The Wall Street Journal and author of numerous books on music including "A Biographical Guide To The Great Jazz and Pop Singers."

Ben's debut CD features New York based musicians Tedd Firth on piano, David Finck on bass and Bob Malach on sax, with arrangements done by Firth and Cassara. The CD shows a passion and dedication in molding contemporary and classic songs from The Great American Songbook with jazz sensibilities. All the musicians set the mood for the perfect light night album that you can listen to over and over again.

Songs include: Sting's "Sister Moon", Cole Porter's "I Concentrate On You," Buddy Johnson's "Save Your Love For Me" and the poignant Manilow/Mercer tune, "When October Goes."
