Dave's True Story - Unauthorized (2000) [Chesky Records, Audiophile 96/24]

“

"Unauthorized" is a great leap forward from the group's previous release "Sex Without Bodies", the main reason being the expanded production/arrangements of bassist/producer Jeff Eyrich. Eyrich uses a wide array of complementary tonal colors, from vibes to a horn section, to frame Cantor's witty, sophisticated songs, and Flint's melodious but deadpan singing style. While there's an abundance of humor in Cantor's compositions, there are no cheap laughs. Rather, he's an ironist in the best sense, on a par with Randy Newman or Steely Dan. Anyone with an interest in great modern songwriting will relish hearing Flint breathe sweet life into Cantor's quirky, inventive creations.
