I'm so excited about all my new pictures. Some of my favorties are featured throughout my site and on my myspace. To view a full size slide show of all of the photos click here.
There is a gentleman who's just come to LA and I'm lucky enough to have met him early on. His name is Brian Webster and he designed my myspace page. I've convinced him because of the compliments I've received on the home page, that it's time we make the web site look as good. Well it's better! He unveiled it to me yesterday and and I didn't know weather to holla or cry! So I did both!
It is the bomb! It is unique! It 's code pretty and user friendly. Very little flash but killer movement between pages. I can't wait for you guys to start hitting him up. He's about to blow up!
Brian Webster (former D.J.) and (friend for Frankie Knuckles) and now my total webmaster!

Covers is the CD that James Taylor fans have been anticipating for years. It is an American songbook that includes classics made famous by artists such as Buddy Holly, The Dixie Chicks, The Temptations, Leonard Cohen, George Jones and Eddie Cochran--songs that James Taylor and his band have performed live over the years but never recorded. These songs have been reinterpreted by James in a way that makes each one his own.
I'm very excited for this to hit stores tomorrow and know everyone will love it. For more information on the release and all things James Taylor check out his website at www.jamestaylor.com

I have been recording solo since 1984, first on AVI Records and then an album on the Virgin label. But everything subsequent has been comfortably independent. My label is What's Good Records.
Sabor is my first project of all original material, every word and melody. It was produced and arranged by my friend, Jon Gilutin. Jon is one of the finest musical directors and keyboard players in L.A. as his playing throughout Sabor will show. John, by the way, is also a brilliant composer. Remember New Attitude? That's the guy! Jon also co-wrote Me Perdonaste and Guru N U with me.
Two of my favourite songs were co-written with Matt Cusson., the baddest most soulful newcomer on the scene, still being discovered worldwide by the fans of Brian McKnight and Christina Aguilera. Matt's responsible for the tender ballad, Love Will Prevail and our composition, Let's Go Back.
Bill Canto, my musical director for twenty years, co-wrote Oil On My Skin. I dedicate this song to Bill's beautiful wife, Mary, and to long-time relationships everywhere.
The rest of the music was co-written with Andy Abad over a three-year period, when he and I were home from the road. During this time, Andy was touring with Clay Aiken and Marc Anthony; I was out with James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and Lyle Lovett. Nevertheless, we were able to come up with a concept that was true to my dream: A Latin-flavoured collection with enough feeling that I hope will inspire people of all musical tastes.
I chose to name this project Sabor because it means “flavour” or “tasty.” Although these songs don't strictly qualify as Latin Jazz, I love the genre and I wanted to pay homage to this beautiful style of music.
I hope Sabor makes you want to move, be inspired, and, most of all, feel the love of self-expression.

I finally finished the song, You Forgave Me! Gaby Moreno is sing with me as a duet from Guatemala and really a great singer and wonderful person. New to the scene. I think I sang the Spanish lyric well.
