1. Wake Up! - Basement tape, found in an old rehearsal room and now re-recorded. This rockfeel is timeless.
2. Blues Route '94 - There's this big blues festival in the city of Utrecht in Holland where I used to jam a lot with my friend Ronald Abrahms, a blues player from Chicago. Ron died last year. This is a tribute to him.
3. Milestones - On tour with Focus we always jammmed to this piece by Miles Davis. I gave it a harmonious Spanish turn.
4. Red Pool House Blues - Written at the Royal Red Pool Lounge on the island of Cura�ao.
5. No Gossip - Mr. Tom Salisbury on piano. As you can hear he played a lot with the Pointer Sisters, James Ingram, Quincey Jones and all these people ...
6. Virgin Mary - Get a glimpse of her purity, innocence and beauty!
7. Traffic Jam - Bass-line groove, but the horns give this piece the 'nobody home' feeling.
8. Mercy, mercy, mercy - I recorded this years ago. Doing it again, I realize what a great tune it is.
9. Soft Focus - Inspired by Man Ray, as he sometimes was filming through stained glass to obtain a special effect.
