Album Notes

. I think you will love this one....it has Blues, Ballads, Bebop, Brazilian Bossas and Keith's singing is outstanding. There are standards such as "East Of The Sun" as well as originals(I feel this CD has some of my best writing ).

A few of the tracks are reminiscent of the old "Nat King Cole Trio" (piano, bass,guitar & voice) and showcases one of the world's finest guitarists - a newcomer on the jazz scene - Barry Greene(you gotta check this guy out!).

Our drummer is the Jacksonville, FL groovemaker, Von Barlow, who'll make you want to get up and dance with his "shuffle backbeat" on the blues tune "Eyesight To

The Blind". He'll then switchup and display his creative chops on mallets over an hypnotic bassline on the African tinged "Tranquility".

"Helo From Ipanema" (Track #3) was written for Helo Pinheiro by Keith & me.She was the actual "girl from Ipanema" who inspired Tom Jobim & Vinicius de Moraes

to write "The Girl From Ipanema". In the May issue of JAZZIZ Magazine(pg 34), our new song is mentioned within a 2 page article on Helo and Helo herself has stated that she loves our new song for her.

"Philanthropy" (Track #1) is a Bebop, Spoken Word tribute to Jazz Artists - past and present. It is one of the more unique compositions in recent years that pays re-spect to Jazz Musicians and the musical art form of Jazz itself.

"Summer Rain"(Track #5) happens to be my personal favorite!
