A celebration of the genius of Burt Bacharach, Mondo-Jazz style, focusing on off-the-beaten path takes on his idiosyncratic repertoire, since Bacharach's music is accessible yet complex and sophisticated to intrigue even the most forward looking musicians.

Romantic songs, political songs, themes for soundtracks, but all—without fail—earworms that stay with you well beyond the last note.

Happy listening!
