Tom Saunders' Wild Bill Davison Band & Guests - Exactly Like You

Review by Sheila V. Tabarsi

Tom Saunders' Wild Bill Davison Band & Guests have released their latest album, Exactly Like You, and it's a must-listen for fans of traditional jazz. The album features a variety of talented musicians, including saxophonist Dan Levinson and pianist Rossano Sportiello, who join the band to pay tribute to the legendary jazz trumpeter Wild Bill Davison.

The album is a mix of classic jazz standards and lesser-known gems, all performed with the energy and enthusiasm that Davison was known for. Saunders and his bandmates do an excellent job of capturing the spirit of Davison's music, with swinging rhythms, soulful solos, and plenty of improvisation.

One standout track is the title track, "Exactly Like You," which features a lively call-and-response between the trumpet and saxophone. Another highlight is "St. Louis Blues," which showcases the band's ability to play with nuance and sensitivity.
