Info zu Sex Without Bodies (Remastered)

With so much of today's music sounding like the din of open warfare, along comes Dave's True Story to prove there's still room for espionage. Chesky Records takes pleasure in presenting a record that's as sweet as a peach and dry as a martini. Sex Without Bodies is reminiscent of the post-swing, cafe society sound that belonged to stars like Peggy Lee and Chet Baker. Singer Kelly Flint uses her smoky, sultry vocal to explore a world of love, lust and venetian blinds. Composer/guitarist David Cantor writes his songs with the heart of a continental rogue'combining wit, insight and late-night cool. Together they are masters of fallen innocence. For Sex Without Bodies, they bring to Chesky a diverting ensemble including vibes, accordion, horns and a deliciously grinding stand-up acoustic bass.

Dave's True Story began when songwriter and guitarist David Cantor and singer Kelly Flint were introduced to each other through a network of New York songwriters and musicians. Kelly suggested that Dave teach her one of his songs, and after singing it as if it were her own, Dave's True Story was born.

In January of 1994, Dave's True Story released their eponymous first album on their own BePop label. It immediately became a best seller at a local music chain and the band sold 10,000 copies at their gigs from Manhattan to Monterey. In June of 1994 they won the prestigious Kerrville New Music award previously won by Lyle Lovett, Suzanne Vega and Michelle Shocked.

The duo have appeared on numerous radio shows and toured the Northeastern U.S., California and Holland, garnering an audience that stretches around the world. Their Chesky releases include Sex Without Bodies and Unauthorized.

"I listen to a great deal of music -- some good, much mediocre, some bad. When I came across Sex Without Bodies, I felt as though I had found some wonderful, rare artifact that should be put on display somewhere because of its simple beauty and profound complexity. Aside from being a reference-grade technical recording, Sex Without Bodies is a creative, solid musical performance that’s a real joy. This is great music." (Jay Piriz, SoundStage)

"A potent combination is the intelligent and earthy songwriting of David Cantor and the sultry and stylizing jazz vocals of Kelly Flint. The timbre of Kelly's voice melds magically with the main instrumentation of stand-up bass, vibes and thoughtful drums. Individual musicians dress up several tracks on guitar, baritone sax and tenor sax. Each track stands alone strongly due to the resilient Cantor construction and Flint's intoxicating delivery. Excepting the elevating treatment of Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side," every track is an original deserving to stand alone as a standard. As a testament to the proficiency to the dozen-and-a-half musicians involved, the entire album was recorded live and no overdubs were used. The quirky but worthy music here bears comparison to Cole Porter. The content and approach are ideally suited to today's music fan looking back on a long cabaret jazz history and looking forward with expectation. This pairing of a wordmeister and a mistress of hip lounge is a rare and wonderful thing, so enjoy it." (Tom Schulte, AMG)

Dave's True Story

Dave's True Story
is a jazzy pop combo featuring Dave Cantor's intelligent, sometimes quirky lyrics, Kelly Flint's smooth-as-silk vocals and Jeff Eyrich's acoustic upright bass laying a solid rhythm track beneath it all. They have built an impressive body of accomplishments since their formation in 1994. Winners of the 1995 Kerrville New Music Award as well as numerous and various other surprising accomplishments, they have performed nationally and internationally to wide critical and commercial acclaim.

Dave and Kelly met in 1989 through the Fast Folk group of songwriters. Chanteuse, Kelly Flint, a teenage Joni Mitchell freak turned twenty-something fan of Keely Smith and Lulu, had been singing backup around town and feeding her dreams as a waitress at the Cookery, an old cabaret where she befriended blues legend Alberta Hunter. David Cantor, a one-time student of the Berklee College of Music and an avid songwriter, started performing his offbeat jazzy songs at open-mics at places like the Speakeasy. Kelly and Dave passed each other like two ships in the night until a snowy evening in 1992 when they cemented their friendship over shots of Jack Daniels at the old Village Corner. Kelly proposed that Dave teach her a song and the rest, as they say, is history. Well, not quite. Jeff Eyrich signed on in 1998, bringing his upright bass and considerable production experience into the picture.

Dave's True Story is an independent band whose notoriety has been built mainly by word of mouth and hundreds of live shows.
