Randy's most recent CD presents his arrangements of standards, obscure gems, and even Chopin. It features two of the Northwest's finest musicians, Jeff Johnson on bass and Gary Hobbs on drums. The degree of interplay among these three musicians leaves no doubt that they are on parallel tracks!

This CD features five wonderful vocalists, including Whitney James, Kendra Shank, Becca Duran, Kris O'Grady, and Jay Clayton. Also featured are Phil Sparks on bass, Greg Williamson on drums, and Hans Teuber on alto saxophone. Randy composed the music and lyrics for the seven vocal tracks and the three instrumentals.  In 2000 Kendra re-recorded the song When Springtime Turns to Fall on her own wonderful CD Reflections (Jazz Focus). In 2002, the same song was published in the All-Jazz Real Book (Sher Music Co.).
