I think it's absolutely awesome: I wouldn't like to have this CD signed because of the photos. I think when I first heard about the concept David + orchestra, I thought of Taking Off. When I finally heard Pearls, I was disappointed, because I expected David to interact with a string section (like on Taking Off). Instead the orchestra supports David's playing, much like on Michael Kamen's Concerto For Saxophone. Pearls is originally on a Sade album "Love Deluxe". It's a really sad song (read the lyrics) and David sticks to the atmosphere really well. My favorite songs: Nobody Does It Better, This Masquerade This album needs time, don't listen to it when you're excited or in a hurry. The perfect music to meditate, think, write letters or make love to. released as singels: Willow Weep For Me BACK
