Editorial Reviews
From the Artist
"A soulful, well-produced debut of jazz-flavored classic R&B, sung by one of its most passionate devotees." Singer/songwriter Bonnie Raitt

"You waited for us to fall off the charts before doing this CD, David! It’s great, a mixture of blues, jazz…and soul!" Singer James Ingram

"The thing I like best is that you're not trying to imitate anybody; you have your own sound and style. Plus, your choice of material is excellent. Production is terrific, too. Well done!" Singer and music historian Billy Vera

"David Nathan sings from the heart for the love of it all. David nurtured and helped bring blues, soul and rhythm & blues music to London and subsequently blues, soul and rhythm & blues music nurtured and inspired David to record this project. "Reinvention" is an honest and personal expression of music he holds dear, infused with raw passion and sincerity." Stix Hooper (formerly of The Crusaders)

Product Description
The first recording project by David Nathan, known for as "The British Ambassador Of Soul" for his work as a reissue producer, author and R&B music historian, is a mixture of smooth jazz and pop standards with an R&B inflection. Seven of the nine tracks were recorded live in the studio with a quartet giving the music an intimate, personal feel. Songs range from the late night feel of standards like "Ev'ry Time To Say Goodbye" and "I Could Hsve Told You" to a Brazilian-flavored "Cry Me A River" and an accoustic reading of The Beatles' classic "Blackbird." Standout cuts include a nearly nine-minute very topical update of the 1969 Donny Hathaway track "Tryin' Times" with The Sweet Inspirations (backup group for Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin) and L.A. singer/rapper 4 To The S From The Midwestside. Saxophonist Najee adds his magic to "Angel Eyes"; while Nathan's bluesy take on the Billie Holiday classic "You Don't Know What Love Is" is smoulderingly moody. The ! CD also features an R&B-edged take on Aretha Franklin's "Runnin' Out OF Fools" (produced by Wayne Linsey, former of Maze) and an original composition by producer Preston Glass, "When Your Heart Whispers Love."
