DOWN THE LINE

David Sills
(Origin 82458)

“One of the great things about jazz is that there’s always room for persuasive new voices, especially those who’ve mastered the vocabulary and know how to swing…” – Jack Bowers, All About Jazz  (more)

“Every now and then I happen upon a CD by a player with a strong local reputation, who deserves to be heard more, and heard of more, in the rest of the world. This is one of those times. The musician is David Sills who couples a Getz-like tenor sound with a knack for writing engaging melodies.” – Bill Falconer, JazzReview.com.
