Moments Worth Waiting For
The controversial but technically seamless integration of Louis Armstrong's original 1967 vocal into a modern smooth jazz arrangement on track 3.
The transition into a bossa nova rhythm on Desafinado where the saxophone mimics the breathy phrasing of a vocalist.
The extended, crystalline high note held through circular breathing during the climax of Body and Soul.
