He previously released three albums on Mack Avenue Records, ''Eyes Wide Open'' in 2007, ''We Move'' in 2009, and ''Hi-Fly'' in 2011. The Chicago-born artist attracted attention when he was named ''Down Beat'' magazine's Collegiate Jazz Vocalist of the Year in 1999. He has worked with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. His debut recording, ''Eyes Wide Open'', lead to tours and opening for artists such as jazz trumpeter Chris Botti and pop singer Joan Osborne. Vasandani's second album, 2009's ''We Move'', was chosen as a ''New York Times'' Critic's Pick. In a September 20, 2009, review in ''The New York Times'', Nate Chinen called Sachal "a jazz singer with good ideas, including some about what a jazz singer can be."〔Chinen, Nate. ("Critics’ Choice: New CDs" ), ''The New York Times'', 2005-10-27. Retrieved on 2009-10-15.〕 In a review of ''Eyes Wide Open'', ''The Boston Globe'' suggested that Sachal is "mature in sound and rich in texture but also possesses enough youthful angst in its lyrical themes to ward off the fogeyism that male vocalists so easily slip into before their time."〔Mitter, Siddhartha. ("All-star lineup keeps it classy at Tanglewood Jazz Festival" ), ''The Boston Globe'', 2007-08-31. Retrieved on 2009-10-15.〕 In an NPR interview that aired in 2011, anchor Michele Norris said, “Every now and again you hear a special voice that makes you sit up and take notice. Sachal Vasandani has that voice”. 2015's ''Slow Motion Miracles'' (Sony/Okeh) features original compositions incorporating "an almost undefinable fusion of the best of pop, electronic, and jazz'.〔AXS.com〕 The album was produced by Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan, Mark Ronson). Sachal and his groups have performed at venues across six continents, from major music festivals to small clubs, regularly since 2007. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan. ==Discography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sachal Vasandani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
