- "Music That Inspired Me"
- 4. "Serenata" by Wayne Shorter: "Wayne is one of the greatest composers and saxophonists of the 20th and 21st centuries. His beautiful reharmonization and orchestration of Anderson's lovely piece, which was a rare orchestral pop hit back in the 50's, is full of gorgeous harmonic and textural surprises. Wayne has virtually rewritten and remade this rather simple piece into a new work of rare and special artistic beauty. This album is a spectacular triumph that lays the groundwork for a new vision of life expressed in music."
- 7. "Strange Fruit (1939 Single Version)" by Billie Holiday: "Billie Holiday defines jazz singing. She has lived every note and every phrase. When you hear her there's no doubt in your mind that she is coming straight from the heart to your heart. This piece has a particular social significance in that it is about the lynching of African Americans. That's the 'strange fruit' hanging from the trees. The darkest hours of American life. Billie paid her dues and had the courage to use her musical life to fight social injustice."
