It’s Autumn Think of walking in the woods in the misty autumn October rain, the stillness of the day is broken by a haunting refrain bringing back beautiful memories of a long-lost love. The mesmerizing melodies from this CD were composed by one of Hollywood’s new crop of talented composers creating a buzz. Philippine-born, classically-trained, nightclub veteran, pianist, Gale Stoddard is a composer-pianist-songwriter collaborating with Ray Evans, the last of the legendary songwriters and winner of three Oscar’s for his songs; Mona Lisa, Buttons and Bows and Que Sera Sera. He dubs Gale's music as reminiscent of the late musical giants Victor Young and Henry Mancini. The lyricists are; writer/lyricist Sam Slavik bringing to the mix his life's experiences, with singer-songwriter Roland Valentino, one of Hollywood's finest and smoothest balladeer bringing to life the lyrics with his Jack Jones, Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis influenced smooth voice, like soft ice cream melting in your mouth. This CD is a mixture of big band, jazz, country and just plain beautiful ballads that ignites emotion from the deepest part of your body. This is a keeper you will want to listen to over and over again. Share it with a loved one. It’s fresh, vibrant, sentimental, nostalgic, original shimmering with musical arrangements you have never heard before. Thanks to the Philippine music influences of Gale and Roland, this CD is one of a kind and created especially with you in mind.
