we had a request for geoffrey keezer on piano, preferably playing standards. i don’t have any solo shows, but there were a few which included him, including this one, that i don’t remember even listening to ever. i really liked cd1, and would recommend this for that alone. the concerto de aranjuez set it up, and botti, keezer, et al followed through wonderfully. but cd2 didn’t work as well for me, that’s life. let me know what you think.
