For saxophonist David Sills' seventh album as a leader, he's employed two of LA's finest musicians, longtime associates, pianist Chris Dawson and bassist Darek Oles. Featuring a wonderful mix of jazz standards, this crack team of artists have assembled a program that flows seamlessly from tune to tune and leaves the listener in complete satisfaction. The album is light yet robust like a fine glass of cabernet. The sound is warm and clear. The artists all have unique original voices yet command a clear understanding and respect for the jazz tradition. If you like no-nonsense, honest jazz performed at the highest artistic level, get Light Touch, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. ~ www.davidsills.com.
