DAVID GOLDMAN's CD Summer With Juliet reviews:

"Summer With Juliet is truly wonderful, full of that all too rare quality of vision meeting craft and giftedness head on... The world will always need....music written with depth of soul, character, and heart. David's voice is beautiful, his lyrics surprising, his range impressive, and the record stays with you..."
Rob Mathes, performer, songwriter, arranger (Norah Jones, Elvis Costello, Sting, Bonnie Raitt)

Combine heartfelt singing and songwriting with worldly influences from Blues, Folk, Country, Celtic, Latin and WorldBeat roots, and you have David Goldman's Summer With Juliet. Co-produced with veteran bass player and engineer Mark Dann, there are over 100 guest artists on the album—including singer/songwriter Dayna Kurtz, New York Voices' Lauren Kinhan, Sax player Richie Cannata, Celtic singer Susan McKeown, African percussion group "Heritage" and Suzanne Vega guitarists Billy Masters and Marc Shulman. Summer With Juliet on WORLDWAVE RECORDS celebrates musical colors across many cultural divides. "Blue Collar Town" presents images of changes in a small town; the impassioned "So Lonesome For You" is a slow aching blues; "One of These Days (Soldier's Song)" is beautifully framed by Celtic resonances; "Someday I'll Fly" is a bewitching blend of Blues and Indian music.

Two songs are co-written with top pop songwriter and jazz pianist Jeff Franzel, one of which, "Te Extraño Tanto" -- also co-written with noted Latin songwriter Mimi Ibarra -- won third place in the Latin/World category in the 2002 Billboard Songwriting Contest.

The WorldBeat song "É Nossa Canção" (It's Our Song) is an opus with spoken parts in over thirty-five languages and a total "cast" of 66 people combining African, Latin, Middle Eastern and Indian rhythms and chants. From former Wings’ drummer Steve Holley to Mujibur & Sirajul of David Letterman Show fame, "It’s Our Song" is a true international anthem.

Note: CD title inspired by a trip to Italy and the book, "Summers With Juliet" by Bill Roorbach.
