Description:

COOL SOUND 25th Anniversary release! Lance Joe, the conscience of Hawaiian AOR, collaborated with Jeff Pescetto, a craftsman writer/singer from L.A., for this long-awaited project for AOR fans! The melodies are melodious and tantalizing, the quintessence of the duo! Both the ballads and the lighthearted numbers are outstanding, and the quality of the music is outstanding! The COOL guitar solos by Michael Landau and others can be heard throughout the album, making it a new must-have for the AOR scene! Enso" is the project team of Lance Joe and Jeff Pescetto, who have collaborated frequently in the past. The CD features 11 songs co-written and produced during the pandemic. About them, Lance says the following. 'For Jeff and I, it's a personal project, dedicated to the women in our lives. We both have shared similar stories. We both have had significant others come back into our lives after years apart, and each song is about the love that came back. A complete full circle. In Japanese... .ENSO (Enso).Jeff and I were introduced by Toshi Nakada in the early 2000s. Our first collaboration was on the "LA Honolulu Tokyo Project" (2003), where we co-wrote "Edge Of Forever" and Jeff's vocals were featured on "Ariel". The partnership continued, with Jeff participating in the "Pacific Rendezvous" project, co-writing "I Need Your Love" and "Tropic Paradise". Jeff also sang lead vocals on You'll Always Be The One For Me, which I wrote with Toshi. The two of us decided to work together on the project after the global shutdown happened, and the project gradually progressed from one song to another, from an EP to a full CD, with more songs being written.All but two of the songs are new, and and have been re-tracked and re-mixed." The duo has invited many AOR musicians from Hawaii, L.A., Australia, Mexico, Germany and Japan. They are backed by Michael Landau, Ramon Stagnaro, Kelly Buchanan, Jorg Alfter, Dan Velaskas, Asami, Dave Watanabe, Christoph Lindeer, Raul Ferrando, and other skilled musicians.
