The original album recorded in 2000 had 13 tracks to which we added 2 vocal numbers with our guest Maria Ewing whom we met over that Summer just after finishing the original recordings. That album was released in June 2001 by String Jazz, available from City Hall Records in the US in very small quantities, it did not get a general release in the UK until 2001.

In 2006 the American company Sheridan Square asked us for a licence to release Into The Rainbow in the USA. As we were no longer working with Maria Ewing they removed those 2 songs and, at our suggestion, replaced them with 3 tracks we had recorded for Union Square that had not yet been released. These pieces were respectively The Last Resort, Sweet Soul and Another Day. However the total of 16 tracks was first reduced to 14 then to 13, in the ensuing confusion and lack of communication the track order and their respective names became separated from each other.

Back in the UK Prestige, the English label who acted as our agents for Sheridan Square, decided that they liked the original 16 tracks so much that they were going to do a version for UK and Europe.

So here they are - top left original recording - top right published American track order

bottom left - actual American track order - bottom right Prestige track order

Confused, we certainly were!
