Sandoval is also featured on Lindsay's arrangement of Ralph Burns' “Early Autum." Bassist Chuck Bergeron joins in on Dizzy Gillespie's “Con Alma." Also featured is Ed Calle's first original composition for the quartet, “ The Iberia Suite," Gary Lindsay's soulful arrangement of James Taylor's “Benjamin," and Peter McGuiness' lush arrangement of “My Ship."
