Me Surrounded By You
Written with and sung by the wonderful Marilyn Scott. Me on piano, Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and the rest of the group, The Yellowjackets, co-founded by Russ Ferrante, Robben Ford & Jimmy Haslip, filling out the track. From Marilyn’s 1992 release, “Smile”.

Really like the changes/harmonies, Tom! The whole track has great feel. Who played the soprano sax solo?
Hi Peter,
Steve Tavlione is on the sax. Thanks for the nice words.
Cheers, Tom
I guess this slipped past me in the holiday rush. I find this one particularly interesting for its melding of pop flashes with an underlying jazz texture. It offers unusual melodic turns from both your piano and her “now-smoky/now-soaring” vocal. Nice.
