(4 out of 5 stars)

""Cherish" is a collection of original compositions and cover tunes mostly from the 1960's and `70's, played on piano by Jim Hudak and accompanied by real (as opposed to synth) instrumentalists. I grew up with most of these songs, and it's always fun to hear them again. I would say that Hudak's style is more on the easy-listening side with some classical, jazz, country, and pop influences. The three original tracks are "City of the Angels," a lovely ballad, which has cello, flute, and violins as well as piano; "Wild Goose," a jazzy duet for piano and sax; and "It's Not An Original Sin," a bittersweet song for piano, guitar, and harmonica; all three are very enjoyable. The cover tunes include "Walk Away Renee," "Mr. Bojangles," "Lay Lady Lay," and a medley of "Bookends" and "Homeward Bound." "Ruby Tuesday" and "Bus Stop" are both presented as piano solos, and are especially interesting. "Cherish" is a very pleasant trip down Memory Lane."
