"Songs Our Fathers Taught Us is a tribute to the music that Vaché learned from the record collection of his father (bassist-writer Warren Vaché, Sr.) and to the many musical fathers who helped him early in his career. He teams up with guitarist Jacob Fischer, bassist Neal Miner, and drummer Steve Williams to perform 13 standards. While only one song ("There Is No Music" by Harry Warren and Ira Gershwin) is an obscurity, Vaché brings the more familiar material to life, focusing on the warmth of the melodies and coming up with fresh variations ... While I would love to have also heard Vaché add a stomp or two from the trad repertoire, Songs Our Fathers Taught Us is filled with beautiful swinging jazz".
