Bob Marley’s Reggae Tune “Jammin’” Reimagined By Toronto-based Smooth Jazz Musician Dave Sereny encompassing Chaka Khan





Our dreams have come true! Toronto’s Dave Sereny has released a new single embodying Chaka khan off his highly anticipated album, Talk to Me. The track titled, Jammin’ is a Bob Marley cover and could not be more appropriately named. This reggae infused, soulful, rock jam has you swaying to the guitar strums while you soak up the tropical vibes Marley cultivated. 

Jammin’ a re-imagined Bob Marley Classic track with groovy jazz instrumentation from Sereny with haunting and oozing angelic female vocals that’s reminiscent to Chaka Khan.  

On such an iconic track, Sereny still makes it his own. His guitar skills take front row while the airy vocal accompanyment create an angelic ambiance.

“Sereny’s work is remarkable…including [his cover of] Bob Marley’s "Jammin’", which stays true to the original with splendid smooth vocal overlay” -  Stu Berketo, Wave.fm 94.7/95.9 HD2

“Jammin’ comes off Sereny’s second album “Talk To Me”, released 12 years since his wildly popular album “Take This Ride”. Makes sense when you account for the fact that Sereny is a frequent performer and a touring veteran of multiple jazz festivals. In 2019, it’s great to see that Sereny gives jazz music a fresh spin while never sacrificing his craft.

Listen to Jammin’ on Spotify or check out the full album on iTunes. Be sure to also check out Dave’s website and Twitter for all his updates!

Toronto-based Jazz Musician Dave Sereny with his newest single “Come Here Baby” redefines modern Jazz and Soul music and draws influence from Rock

Long-time award winning Jazz musician Dave Sereny released his new single “Come Here Baby”
where he reminisces about his past relationships. The incorporation of different styles of jazz reminds me of Wes Montgomery and Miles Davis’ styles.

This is a beautifully crafted song with heart-felt romantic lyrics that make you want to sing along and hit repeat, repeat, repeat, Think cold day, fireplace going, snuggled in a blanket, reading a good book – that’s “Come Here Baby”!    The relaxing energy that Sereny brings is not only straight forward jazz but it’s been infused with influences from soul and rock.

From signature-like Randy Newman vocals to amazing melodic guitar licks similar to Santana, Sereny really wants us to enjoy his song just as much as he did when he was writing, composing, singing and playing his electric guitar on this track; the same is the case with the whole album, not just this track.

Make sure to check out the full album on Spotify here. Be sure to check his website and Twitter for all your updates and questions.
