Sachal Vasandani 	
SachalVasandani  Sachal
Vasandani is an American jazz singer. A graduate of the University of
Michigan, Vasandani has released three albums on Mack Avenue Records,
Eyes Wide Open in 2007, We Move in 2009, and Hi-Fly in 2011.

The Chicago-born artist attracted attention when he was named Down Beat
magazine s Collegiate Jazz Vocalist of the Year in 1999. He has worked
with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. His debut
recording, Eyes Wide Open, lead to tours and opening for artists such as
jazz trumpeter Chris Botti and pop singer Joan Osborne. Vasandani s
second album, 2009 s We Move, was chosen as a New York Times Critic s
Pick.

In a September 20, 2009, review in The New York Times, Nate Chinen
called Vasandani "a jazz singer with good ideas, including some about
what a jazz singer can be."[1]

In a review of Eyes Wide Open, The Boston Globe suggested that Vasandani
is "mature in sound and rich in texture but also possesses enough
youthful angst in its lyrical themes to ward off the fogeyism that male
vocalists so easily slip into before their time."[2]

Vasandani has toured internationally. In 2009 Vasandani performed in New
York, California and Washington, as well as in Switzerland, Germany and
Russia.
