According to critic Stephen Mosher (Broadway World Cabaret) “David earns major street creds for his decision to deconstruct, reinvent, and repurpose material with shockingly new looks…” You may think you know these songs, but you’ve never heard them like this. Additional Credits: Drums: Mike Lunoe Bass: Sean Murphy Additional Arrangements: Gregory Toroian, Christopher Denny, Rick Jensen Sound Design/Recording: JP Perreaux Recording Mix: Colin Freeman Mastered by Roger Lian REVIEWS (snippets) “…the marriage of technical perfection with artistic excellence… To attend one of his shows is to experience a master class in the art of cabaret.”Marilyn Lester, Nightlife Exchange “(Sabella and Hartman) score major wins at every turn with equally sophisticated treatments of Sondheim, Berlin, Connick and others… a show so satisfying that David Sabella could keep doing it for years to come, something this writer would like, wholeheartedly, to recommend.” – Stephen Mosher, Broadway World “…thrilling beauty and emotion that will haunt you for days after… Such magic doesn’t come along often, and it must be celebrated. Bravo to all.” – Bart Greenburg, Cabaret Scenes Magazine
