For his recent album “Daybreak”, debuting #1 on the iTunes Jazz Chart, Day crafted five new works that blend seamlessly with the cover tunes to create a moving tribute to the time, sound, feel, and sensibility that defined the California mid-century experience. He calls “Daybreak” his “top-down Chevy convertible on the Pacific Coast Highway” album, evoking the breezy feel of a sunny Southern California afternoon. Classics including “Groovin”, “A World Without Love” and “Never My Love” have been re-imagined and interpreted in Spencer’s trademark honey baritone voice. “Daybreak” reflects Spencer’s roots in the Great American Songbook, with a contemporary, upbeat twist that has become his signature sound.
