An album of solo piano music, apart from a bit of flute on one track, dedicated by Jim to his wife Suzy - "Without her I would be so incomplete." What Suzy thinks about hubby's choice of music is unrecorded: well known songs from George Gershwin, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart, Harold Arlen, et al, are played with not a great deal of soul or passion, thus making this perfect hotel lobby muzak. Thankfully at just over 37 minutes there isn't a lot of it, just remember not to set your CD machine to continuous play. Zzzzzzzzzz ..
