THE PRESS |

* "You can call it hip, call it clever, or even call it
'jazz noire.' The music of Dave's True Story both challenges
and defies categorization. It swings with a refreshing literate
charm of its own." Ken Franckling/UPI Arts & Entertainment
- The Jazz Condition
* "It's been said, 'You're born. You die.' If you're lucky,
you learn to walk upright, keep the Devil interested but waiting,
and gasp in wonderment at Dave's True Story's new album, Nature."
Dane McCauley - Chronogram
* "Kelly Flint and David Cantor's act is hard to pigeonhole;
imagine a weird and wonderful cross of Steely Dan and Stephen
Sondheim." Terry Teachout - The New York Times
* "New York hipsters DAVE'S TRUE STORY mix it up with smoldering
grooves and cheeky beatnik lyrics..." Billboard
* "the resuscitation of two nearly extinct traditions--Golden
Age songwriting (Rodgers and Hart, Arlen and Mercer) and non-self-indulgent
jazz-oriented singing (Annie Ross, Peggy Lee, June Christy)."
Joel E. Siegel - Washington City Paper
* "a songwriter whose name belongs in the pantheon of greats
like Randy Newman, Donald Fagen and Lyle Lovett." Jim Allen
- Muze

Jr. and John Pizzarelli should have new material that is as
witty as what Mr. Cantor creates." Jim Fusilli - Wall Street
Journal

was perfect for those great songs filled with wordplay and curveball
ideas." Rita Houston, Music Director, WFUV)

* "Dave has all the wit, sophistication, even romance of
Cole Porter, and yet he remains a maverick with a cutting-edge
sensibility" Mary Foster Conklin, performer
* "Cole Porter meets Seinfeld." CNNfn
* "This is the stuff of pure hipster cool, fleshed out
by David Cantor's sense for gentle dynamics and Flint's winking
delivery." Colin Helms - CMJ Magazine
* "The edgy genius of Dave's true Story - the trio of guitarist-songwriter
David Cantor, vocalist Kelly Flint, and bassist Jeff Eyrich
- is in its ability to fuse the vibe of jazz from the 1940s
and 50s with a modernist lyric sensibility: witty, urbane, and
anxiety-ridden... jazz songwriting for a new generation."
Spencer Harrington - Jazziz
* "DTS offers art songs for a new century, spiced with
jazz and neon details, and I can't wait for more" Neil
Tesser - Playboy Magazine
