11 首歌曲
这张专辑多数曲目是要把东方民谣改编成正统爵士，当初我认为这根本是不可能的任务，但同时也是充满挑战性的自我超越历程，不过透过纯粹的音乐热情来努力之后，我们证明了音乐是没有界线，也没有不可能。
就这样，一切都变得如此自然而然，也成为展开我生命中这场音乐旅程的绝佳时机。我在想，或许就是要有如此悲喜交集的人生历练，来淬炼出更为成熟感性的声线，自己才能诠释出这些歌曲的灵魂深度。
我之所以永远热爱爵士的理由很简单，因为诠释空间特别开阔无边，要做出自己的味道就是极大挑战，充满无限的探索可能。或说新旧版本差别就是我歌唱技巧的情感呈现方式不同。这样的音乐不但永不退流行，更让人百听不厌，就算听上一千遍也一样回味无穷…。
这张专辑的录音过程与众不同，因为反覆练习琢磨准备的时间，全都花在进入录音室之前。因为一气呵成的录音方式不容许任何瑕疵及错误，就像伟大乐团的现场音乐会演出一样，绝对不只是录音室中的一个阶段步骤！虽然辛苦，但听到的录音效果真是前所未闻、让人感动不已！简直是比坐云霄飞车还过瘾的绝妙音乐体验。
演唱爵士歌曲，让我进入了另一个时空，重返30年代、40年代、50年代….，如此怀旧的感觉何其美好，一如最初的美好时光。

I'm inviting you into a whole new world of my music journey. It's a totaly new, wonderful and exciting experience. that I want to share with all my fans, simply because I yearn to give you more of me that I think you deserve; and I hope you will grow with me, along with my music.
Most of the songs in this album are conversions of my past oriental based ballads into jazzy numbers.It's something that I had initially thought difficult or rather impossible. To me it was quite a novelty and a great big step to leap with full of challenges ahead that could be described as 'frightening' to me at times.But with sheer passion and hardwork, music has no boundaries and nothing is impossible.After that, everything started to fall into places and gradually it just seemed very natural and also the perfect time to begin this journey at this stage of my life because I seem to think it requires lots of both good and bad life experiences plus having a more mature vocal tone would be ideal to give a more soulful way of song delivery.I have always loved jazz music with a simple reason that it's music ranges very widely; thus making them so challenging to sing, having to explore the many new, or should I say both new and old variations of my singing techniques and flow of emotions.This kind of music don't seem to go out of fashion and I never get sick of listening to them, not even a thousand times.......The recording process of this album is very different that it took days and days, hours and hours of practice and preperations and building of stamina before going into the studio. Any mistakes was intolerable because it was almost like delivering a live concert with a great live band but in a studio instead of a stage! But the effect I got from it was pure pleasure and downright satisfying! Nothing like what I have done before. It's such a roller-coast ride! Singing in jazz puts me into another era. It enables me to turn back the clock, going back to the decades of 30's...40's...50's. It's a good old feeling of nostalgia and a feeling of going back to the basics that I immensely enjoy!
