Sachal Vasandani

The Warmth and Soulful Groove of Sachal Vasandani, In-Studio

Soundcheck | Feb 24, 2025

The singer Sachal Vasandani has become known for his distinctive takes on jazz standards, and for his wide ranging covers, from Bob Dylan to Billie Eilish. But Sachal is also a songwriter himself, and his new album, Best Life Now, is largely a collection of original songs musing on stories of sensuality, heartbreak, and other love struggles. Sachal Vasandani and his band play some of those songs, imbued with warmth and soulful groove, in-studio.

Set list: 1. Best Life Now 2. Don't Give up On Me 3. Call Me
