An amazing new version of the United Legends by Shuya Okino -- one that has the record completely recorded with jazz backings from Sleep Walker -- all in a sound that's even better than the original! The album's almost a Sleep Walker album at heart -- with tremendous sax and modal piano lines -- but Okino's presence is certainly felt in the slightly more soulful presentation of the record -- especially on the vocal numbers, which are a wonderful blend of contemporary soul and club jazz! The 2CD package offers up one disc of vocal tunes, and a second that presents the same tunes as instrumentals by the combo -- with a bit more solo lines in place of the vocals. Singers include Clara Hill, Josh Milan, Carleen Anderson, Navasha Daya, Diviniti, and Yukimi Nagano -- and titles include "Shine", "Thank You", "Love Is The Key", "If It Is Love", "Pieces Of You", and "Beautiful Sadness".
