Sachal Vasandani
Jazz vocalist Sachal Vasandani has been hailed as one of the rising stars of the jazz world and praised for a "golden voice" enhanced by "emotion and intellect." The Chicago-born artist first began attracting attention as a University of Michigan music major when he was named DownBeat magazine's Collegiate Jazz Vocalist of the Year in 1999.

He made a musical home in storied clubs like the Zinc Bar and was tapped for a number of guest performances and recordings, notably by the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis.
