The CD was recorded live in concert on March 22, 1998, in NYC at St.
Peter's Church in the Citicorp building (the jazz church).

Besides more of my compositions, our repertoire also includes several
Chopin preludes and two nocturnes, "Waltz for Debby" by Bill Evans, "So
What" by Miles Davis, and "Meditation" by Earl Zindars. Only the last cut
on the CD has words. Everything else is done with vowels("ah", "oh", or
"oo"), almost always the same vowel all the way through a piece. Sometimes
the vowels are punctuated by consonants.
