David Sills: Down the Line
by Jack Bowers
One of the great things about jazz is that there's always room for persuasive new voices, especially those who've mastered the vocabulary and know how to swing. Saxophonist David Sills, now in his mid-thirties, qualifies easily on both counts, as he shows consistently on Down the Line, evidently his second album as a leader of his ...

David Sills: Eastern View
by Dan McClenaghan
With a solid organ trio backing him, tenor saxophonist David Sills grabs your attention with his very first solo on Eastern View 's opener, the Sills-penned (as are all the songs here) “New Break."

David Sills: Bigs
by C. Michael Bailey
David Sills is back and Getzian as ever, with a bit of Monk thrown in. I considered David Sills debut on Naxos Jazz, Journey Together , to be one of the finest sessions released by that label since its inception. He had a definite Getzian lilt with a pretty large helping of Lester Young added to ...
