In between are marches, European light classical pieces, Hawaiian standards, Broadway hits, and a hapa-haole segment by the Band Glee Club in which Bandmaster Aaron David Mahi plays bass. Vocalists Cathy Foy, Nalani Olds, Gene Roland and Celeste Sagaran add diversity. Ed Michaelman presides as master of ceremonies and narrator.
Album sales supplement the band's limited budget.
This album is a career best. The synthetic string effects and general sonic clutter that defines the small-time sound of far too many local recordings is conspicuously absent throughout. And then there's Bright. The beauty of her voice is heightened by the unpretentious sophistication of her delivery. Each song seems more beautiful than the next.
