Notes

Recorded and mixed at Group IV Recording, Los Angeles, CA. Mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering, Hollywood, CA.

Excerpt from liner notes:
"'NO STRINGS' has a Pop/Jazz feel that is the result of my pop vocals over the superb jazz musicians who deliver Patrice Rushen's arrangements so beautifully. It is a style that blends the past and the present, the era the songs were written in leaves its traces in a contemporary interpretation. The lyrics of yesterday still touch the heart so deeply today. I hope they will touch you, too.

Listen and you will hear a story which charts the course of a relationship from hopeful beginnings to its bittersweet end - love found, love lost, but life must go on - with or without strings."
