Singer Dennis Van Aarsen teams up with composer/pianist Jeff Franzel as they mix and match ideas and originals with the team of Peter Sachon/cel, Larry Saltzman/g, Adam Armstrong/b and Eric Halverson/dr. This cozy collaboration feels like something you’d hear back in the days of Johnny Mercer with Tin Pan Alley treats like the folksy “Waiting For Tonight” or the bopping “Till I Drop”. Van Aarssen knows how to capture a mood, bluesy at the saloon on “M and the Guy On The Piano” and bold and dramatic on “She”. Broadway moods are felt on “Cloudy” and chamber charms ooze on “The Little Things”. The new Old School.
