I don't get to record with drummers much, so I treasure the three numbers here with my friend Lee Sarokin (Nos. I-2, I-9 and II-16). On the latter (Besame Mucho), Lee performs entirely with his hands bongo-style on a snareless snare drum. I'm also proud of the four tracks that feature pro vibist Warren Chiasson (Nos. I-6 and I-20 – where I play the first chorus on vibes – and Nos. II-5 and II-13). And I have a special warm spot for the multiple tunes which showcase Annette Sanders' lovely voice. I also sang two solo vocals (Nos. I-12 and II-8) and played two unaccompanied piano solos (Nos. I-14 and II-19).
