New Bobby Darin Tribute CD!

I just put the new Darin Tribute CD by the Waverly Seven up on DarinLand.com for pre-order. To check it out, go to THIS LINK.

Here are some details...

"Waverly Seven: Yo! Bobby"

Seven of New York's finest young jazz players pay tribute to the great Bobby Darin on this 2-CD set. Like Darin's originals, these 24 tracks are sizzling with energy, invention, and sheer fun. The ensemble re-interprets such Darin classics as Splish Splash, Nature Boy, Mack the Knife, The Good Life, Charade, That Funny Feeling, and Work Song.

Check out a YouTube Clip of the band performing "Charade" live at their recent CD release show.

HA! and might I add CHA!
