One of the most engaging vocalists around….always in evidence a strong jazz influence in his vocalizing and choice of material.
Joe Lang, Jersey Jazz
Connects emotionally with a song’s sentiments and actions. One jazz singer for whom words aren’t just syllables on which to hang notes….they’re the very center of the song.
Mark Dundas Wood, Bistro Awards.Com
Cassara…gives a song a unique distinctive flavor all its own… incredibly intimate.
