Accentuate The Positive CD is quite different than any other that I have recorded.
All songs were recorded live in the studio with a quartet. There were no string arrangements, no background arrangements, background vocals or overdubs, only two solo’s by harmonica and tenor sax were added after the original sessions where I sang along with the quartet.
The quartet includes piano, bass, drums and guitar. I’ll list the songs in a moment but in effect what we did was to select some classic standards, some jazz standards and added two original pieces. We allowed those classic compositions to lead us to new but simple arrangements of themselves. I sang more differently than ever! Here is the list of songs on my new album.
