Album Notes & Community Reviews

Best known for his seminal arranging work with Frank Sinatra, the maestro pivots to the highly lucrative exotica market with a suite of faux-Asian orchestrations. The music avoids chaotic percussion in favor of sweeping, impressionistic string sections and delicate woodwinds, crafting an incredibly polished, tranquil mood piece designed for high-fidelity home systems.
