A Self Portrait
A Self PortraitThis is my take on a great old tune by Michael Mainieri titled Self Portrait on which the late, great Michael Brecker played his brilliant Tenor saxophone. My take is more of the "smooth" type of tune. I hope that you like it...

Caribbean Nights
Caribbean NightsThis tune, written by Bill Heller of the Rippingtons and produced and arranged by Ricky Peterson (David Sanborn's keyboard player and musical director) is a wonderful sweet tune dedicated to my sweetheart Marie who's been my partner in good and bad times for the past three years. I love you sweetheart... It's all good since you've been around.

Linda's Sunset
Linda's SunsetThis track, written by Bill Heller and arranged by Ricky Peterson who also filled in all of the wonderful background sounds you hear, is a beautiful mellow tune dedicated to the memory of my departed wife Linda, who loved the sunsets on the Jersey shore. I hope you enjoy it.

Linda's Sunset
Linda's SunsetThis is a tune, written by Bill Heller of the Rippingtons. I asked Bill to write me a tune that would remind the listener of a sunset. This is significant because my late wife Linda loved the sunsets at the Jersey shore house. I think she would have liked this... Enjoy.
