..."This is some of the praise for “Must Be Love” which introduces us to the extraordinary talent of jazz vocalist Danny Freyer. Read more "Well, speaking as Ol' Blue Eyes number one fan, even I must admit that Freyer has the edge when it comes to swinging. If anything, he's more akin to Crosby and Bing almost always got the nod in that department ..."
BEBOP SPOKEN HERE
“Freyer is sure to be compared with Michael Bublé, Steve Tyrell and other current singers who come out of the stylistic tradition fostered by Frank Sinatra. Based on the content of Must Be Love (Bluebend Records – BB14-01), he should stack up quite well alongside these peers. To my ears, I find Freyer a more attractive vocalist. He can swing, has a pleasant baritone, and really puts over his material, including a few originals that show him to be an effective songwriter."
"There is a new cat on the block to keep alive the swinging crooner style, and his name is Danny Freyer. Try Must Be Loved, you’ll like it! “ JERSEY JAZZ JOURNAL, - Joe Lang, 8/14
