David Whitman is an American baritone vocalist renowned for his interpretations of classic American popular song, particularly from the Great American Songbook. Emerging in the 1990s, Whitman initially gained prominence performing with the vocal quartet The Manhattan Transfer, joining in 1998 and contributing to albums like *Nightingale* (2000).

However, he’s most recognized for his extensive solo career focusing on the works of composers like Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin. Whitman’s style emphasizes vocal clarity, nuanced phrasing, and a commitment to preserving the original arrangements of these standards. He frequently performs with big bands and jazz orchestras.

He's released numerous critically acclaimed solo albums including *Standard Fare* (2002), *After Hours* (2005), and *The Good Life* (2017), consistently charting on Billboard's jazz charts. A frequent performer at major jazz venues like Birdland in New York City, Whitman has also toured extensively throughout the US and internationally. He's been praised for his ability to connect with audiences through storytelling and authentic emotional delivery within this timeless repertoire.
