It was inspired by the profound, monumental artwork of the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-88), and recorded in The Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, New York. These six O'Farrill originals and six American Songbook classics masterfully cover a huge musical range, from mid-19th century composer Stephen Foster to the famous 1929 Afro-Cuban classic "Siboney" to O'Farrill's highly expressive, musical borders-crossing contemporary pianism.
