"Mark Winkler is one of those artists whose music is pretty hard to classify, and it's probably hurt him commercially. But for fans of sophisticated adult music it's a treat. This Cd has a
lot of his best songs. "Garden of Earthly Delights" his duet with Dianne Reeves, which was always on the wave in the late 80s
leads off the CD, as is his collaboration with Joe Sample "Night
Flight"-- also included is one of the most beautiful melodies
David Benoit ever wrote "Rainbows"- which Winkler put some touching lyrics to and a great unreleased version of "Beauty and
the Beach" off one of his earlier CDs. This CD is a lot more
Smooth Jazz than his most recent releases, but it still contains
his vivid image filled lyrics and smooth voice. An added bonus is how many great musicians Winkler has worked with through the years-- Tom Scott, Peter White, Dan Siegel and Boney James to just name a few.Check it Out!"
