Vagabond

Label: Concord Jazz
Release Date: September 8th, 2009
Official Site: http://www.spencerday.com/

Concord Jazz has announced the release of Vagabond, the new album from up-and-coming vocalist-songwriter-pianist Spencer Day. Vagabond marks Day’s first release on Concord Jazz and cements his reputation as a balladeer for the new century. The 14-track album will be available in stores & online September 8th.

“I wanted to create a musical hybrid,” says Day. “I’ve drawn from the Great American Songbook quite a bit in the past, but I really wanted to infuse this album with a more contemporary aesthetic, and also draw on some influences from the early ‘60s, like Burt Bacharach, Roy Orbison and Dusty Springfield. I wanted to create a sound that could stand alone and not be easily put into one category, but at the same time appeal to a broad range of listeners.”
