Waverly Seven play “Nature Boy” from their Bobby Darin Tribute, “Yo! Bobby”

The talents of saxophonist Anat Cohen are showcased in this amazing clip of the Waverly Seven performing a haunting and stylish rendition of "Nature Boy," from their newly released 2-disc Bobby Darin Tribute, "Yo! Bobby."

Bobby Darin Tribute Record released today!

"Yo! Bobby," the Waverly Seven's 2-disc tribute to the legendary Bobby Darin, is out today on Anzic Records. This New York jazz outfit has put together 24 tracks of pure brilliance, saluting the great Mr. Darin with kickin' interpretations of "Splish Splash," "The Good Life," "I Wanna Be Around," "The More I See You," and "Some of These Days" (to name-drop a few). Clearly, these young jazz musicians know their Darin, because they also offer up versions of several lesser known Darin classics, including "I Guess I'm Good for Nothing But the Blues," "Work Song," and "Black Coffee." It's taken decades, but at last, the jazz world is giving Bobby his due. Love it!

You can get Waverly Seven's "Yo! Bobby" on the DarinLand.com site.
