“This album resulted from my great affection for Herb Alpert, Jobim, Michael Franks, and classic crooner swing. Also, my marriage and travel in Brazil influenced the writing of these songs. My wife translated She’s Like That, Seu Ser, and other parts in Portuguese. The bossa songs speak of our love and How You Might Know and Stargazing 50 speak of the love I have for my parents as tributes.”
