• Review: 'Swing That Music,' Effortless Fun
    By STEPHEN HOLDEN - AUG. 5, 2015

    "The secret of serious fun is not to take it too seriously, especially if it involves playing jazz. That attitude is something that the easygoing singer and saxophonist Danny Bacher, who appeared with a small swing band at the Metropolitan Room on Tuesday evening, knows in his bones.

    It is about making hot music but staying cool, about cutting up while maintaining effortless self-control, about having a blast with friends. And at his performance of "Swing That Music," a homage to the era of jumpin' jive with a dollop of Dixieland, Mr. Bacher conflated the music of three Louises — Armstrong, Jordan and Prima — in a concert revealing him to be a prodigiously talented musical preservationist.

    Mr. Bacher's voice is smoother than Prima's rasp, but in his bebop solos he revealed enough of his inner wild man to suggest a maniac behind the cool. "I Wanna Be Like You (The Monkey Song)," from "The Jungle Book," in particular, made me grin. It was a reminder that behind its academic trappings, a prime element of jazz has always been a game of monkey see, monkey do."

    Come join the party, and see what the fun is all about! A sure to delight night of entertainment by a memorable, one-of-a-kind performer and Rising Star!

"Danny Bacher is reminiscent of 'triple talent' icons such as Louis Armstrong and Sammy Davis, Jr. He's a serious jazz musician who can hold his own improvising on soprano sax or scatting with the best musicians on the scene…he has a natural flair for comedy and a voice full of soul." -Roseanna Vitro, Grammy® Nominated Jazz Vocalist & Educator

"Danny is a rare artist who swings as a musician, is a wonderful singer, and really understands and delivers the lyrics! What a concept!" -Marilyn Maye, Legendary Vocalist
