Although she hasn't released an album under her own name in almost 17 years, violinist Sara Caswell has ranked up there in both DownBeat Critics and Readers polls. With The Way To You it's easy to see why. A collection of nuggets from Michel Legrand, Kenny Barron and Antonio Carlos Jobim sit comfortably with inspired originals, with the violinist joined by longtime bandmates Jesse Lewis on guitar, bassist Ike Sturm, drummer Jared Schonig and vibraphonist Chris Dingman.
From Monday, April 3 through Friday, April 7, one cut from The Way To You by Sara Caswell will be featured each morning on the New Day, New Play spotlight on my Daybreak show.
Preview “Voyage” from The Way To You, above.
