Erich Cawalla plays a melodic alto sax while also singing and scatting through a collection of songs dedicated to great vocalists of inspiration. He’s backed up mostly by a swinging big band, and sometimes with strings, with guest Randy Brecker adding his warm trumpet to a cleverly Latinized read of “Stella By Starlight” and A dreamy “All My Tomorrows” including a cameo solo by violinist Karen Briggs”. He produces a suave doo wopper of “Ooo Baby Baby” while swinging with swagger on “That’s Life” and taking a trip to Broadway on “The Curtain Falls”. His voice is assured, calm and relaxing, making the music easy on the ears and toes.
