专辑简介

My new CD "CONNECTIONS" was a labor of love. I have the privilege of collaborating with some of the top composers around these days. Each unique in their own way. The songs on this new recording vary in style as much as each of my co-writers do. Some have their roots deep in Jazz and others in Broadway, Pop and Cabaret. My lyrics are what connects each of the songs and composers on this album. I take great pride and pleasure in these connections. Thank you to HARRIET GOLDBERG, ALEX RYBECK, RONNY WHYTE, DENNIS LIVINGSTON, JON BURR & KRISANTHI PAPPAS for sharing your music with me over the years. You inspire me each and every day.

I would also like to acknowledge and thank all of the wonderful vocalists for their outstanding work on this project. Ronny Whyte, Krisanthi Pappas, Joyce Breach, Judi Figel, Matt Ray, Jinny Sagorin, Jamey Whiting, Barbara Porteus and especially my good friend Dane Vannatter. Last but by no means least, all of the incredibly talented musicians who are represented on this CD. Alex Rybeck, Ronny Whyte, Doug Hammer, Jon Burr, Boots Maleson, Jim Rice, Jered Egan, Bob Renino, Rex Benincasa, Mauricio de Souza, Steve Skop, John DiSanto, Bill Vint, Tim Ray, David Clark, Bill Reynolds, Billy Novick, Jon Wheatley, Matt Ray, Jamey Whiting and especially Daniel May in Pittsburgh who contributed so much to the majority of the tracks. I would also like to give a big thank you to Tom LaMark in Boston for his invaluable assistance with some of my own new tunes on this recording.
