I can't think of enough positive things to say -- first, Jim sounds absolutely top-notch -- he SWINGS, and nobody has a better way with a ballad. (The slowed-down version of "If I Only Had a Brain" with solo guitar is worth the price of the entire album!) And what an all-star line-up he's assembled! The side men are all bona fide geniuses -- Bucky Pizzarelli, for Pete's sake!!! Warren Vaché, Tedd Firth, Steve Doyle -- the whole band are amazing. And the pairings with Billy Stritch, Michael Feinstein, Hilary Kole and Stephanie Block are all such ... fun! Fun is the operative word here, because it sounds like everyone involved is having such a blast. Wonderful inventive arrangements and playing by Aaron Weinstein on violin, with first-rate production quality. Congratulations, Mr. Caruso. Well done!!!

My personal favorites are I've Got My Fingers Crossed, I'm Shooting High, Avalon and Gotta Be This Or That. But hold on to your ear buds cause Heart's Desire WILL blow you away. Now I'm gonna go listen to it again...
