Roy Nathanson's Sotto Voce - Complicated Day (2014)

Roy Nathanson has had a varied career as a saxophonist and bandleader, working with the Lounge Lizards and the Jazz Passengers, which he co-founded. Complicated Day features a collection of eight new compositions and two covers, including Isaac Hayes Do Your Thang and Johnny Nash s I Can See Clearly Now, the latter of which Elvis Costello recently praised in Rolling Stone magazine (November 2013): an extremely beautiful cover of the Johnny Nash song and a way of entering [Nathanson s] world of spoken word and jazz.
