Felix Sainz, Jr.

“Thankfully, there are a still those musicians who place a high value on the power of understanding that lyrics define and illuminate cultural nuance. Felix B. Sainz, Jr. is such a musician and vocalist who is a resident of Arizona but a citizen of the world.” Kyle W. Harris (Music and More, staff writer/Concert Reviewer; National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, voting member) “Felix Sainz’s CD, “The Nearness of You,” features his vocals in, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, as he plays guitar and bass, augmented by horns and strings. His richly resonant voice illuminates the title track, “Embraceable You,” “Green Eyes,” “Dindi,” “The Shadow of Your Smile/Smile,” “When Sunny Gets Blue” and several Latin charts.” Pat Meyers (Jazz Update, staff writer; Jazz in AZ, former Board member)
