Brendan McCreary Sings the Love Songs of Mike Stoller Album Package

A new collection of fresh interpretations of rare gems as well as never-before-recorded songs by Stoller, most of them cowritten with his late writing partner, Jerry Leiber. The album also features collaborations with celebrated lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman and songwriters Ralph Palladino and John Sembello. Vocalist Brendan McCreary interprets this trove of songs beautifully. The sparkling accompaniment is led by renowned jazz pianist and arranger John Beasley, who coproduced the album with McCreary. – Sparks & Shadows
