From the liner notes: It seems a logical and timely progression. From our original CD, A Simpler Time, the Leonard Brothers now bring you our fourth CD entitled Time After Time. Listen closely and you’ll discover something very exhilarating about this new CD. You can sense it in the musicians’ enthusiasm and you can hear it in the mix. Time After Time has that same steady feel and flow you’ve grown accustomed to on our other CD’s. The basic quartet of Garry, Gerry, Paul and Danny has remained in tact, but we’ve also added a few new twists. You’ll hear three different tenor saxophonists that are so tasty and melodic, we actually used two of them in one song. You’ll also experience a sound, until now, unfamiliar to our listeners – two vocals performed by Gerry. So put another log on the fire, pop a cork, crank up the stereo and renew your passion. Time After Time is a romantic, rhythmic venture that breathes new life into the old standards, with just a touch of “pop” added for good measure. We think that Time After Time will provide you with many hours of listening pleasure, time and time again. - The Leonard Brothers Garry Leonard – Drums After graduating from Eastern Michigan University on a full music scholarship, Garry toured the U.S. with brother Gerry, singer Leslie Kendall, and pianists Alan Broadbent, John Serry and Gus Sims.
