"This cd is one of the many cds that I own by John. It is not just another cd to add to the pile, no, it is that rare find that comes along once in a great while. John is that one significant player that is everything to music.I currently follow more than one hundred pianists from around the world and i'm pleased to say that John is on my top five list of pianists. The man is as great as they come.For this project John choose a song list that would not stop. Each one of these tunes is what I would consider my favorite songs. I really don't think John could have done a better job of song selection than these songs.The main concern I had about this cd was the imrpovision and how it was used in the arranging of these songs. It appears that the improvison was not used wisely in the make up of these songs. On a lot of tunes it was used to introduce the song. On other occasions it was used on the ending of the songs. Somethimes it was used on the bridge of the song.Dispite the flaws in these songs, I still would like to recommend this cd. I don't believe that it will disappoint you!"
