Hey Rim Jeon on piano (All tracks) Terri Lyne Carrington on drums & John Lockwood on bass (Tracks 1-6) Yoron Israel on drums & Greg Holt on bass (Tracks 7-8) Recording Engineer: Rob Jaczko Assistant Engineers: Pietro Milanesi & Gonzalo Perez Album Description Liner Note Multi Grammy-award winning songwriter John Legend once said that artists make their personal story universal. In this album, I am making my personal experience a universal one. Each song in this album has a special meaning to me, and I hope it will touch your heart. I recorded this album while my father was battling with cancer. He wanted to listen to nice and soothing music while he was fighting for his life. Even though I had released a couple of albums, I didn’t have one to help ease his soul. This motivated me to produce an album which anyone can simply listen to and enjoy. This album contains 9 songs (Nature Boy, Summertime, Fly Me to the Moon), 7 of which are universally well-known, including one Korean folk song, Spring in Hometown, and one popular song, 100 Years of Promise by Jongwhan Kim, which my father used to sing to my mom every day. It took me a long time to release this album due to my high expectation. I kept asking if I would ever be able to make it worthy enough to pay tribute to my dad, but after two and a half years of pandemic, I can’t think of any better time to release this album. My father wasn’t able to listen to it, but I am happy to share it with you in the spirit of love and hope.
