Black's last GREAT album!

"This is without question one Stanley Black's greatest albums. Recorded in 1979 with the then new technology, it has only 10 cuts, but it can be argued, that this is the most satisfying Black album ever. With new tunes of the 1970's and an outstanding arrangement of Herb Alpert's Rise, this makes for a winner. In fact, Black's version of Rise is superior. It is an outstanding arrangement for piano and orchestra. Another great cut is Tomorrow from Annie. This is without question the greatest arrangement of this musical tune ever recorded. I dare any other artist to match brilliance of this arrangement. I say that this is Black's last great album because the next year, Mantovani would pass away and Black would take over his orchestra. If you like Stanley Black, then do yourself a favor and purchase this outstanding album. It will please you for years to come. I still have my original LP! It's great to have this album back in circulation again."

"Stanley Black has outdone himself. This music puts me in a good mood every time. It is easy but not music that would put you to sleep. It was a good purchase for me."
