Album Notes

Island music veteran Lyle Ritz is well known for his mastery of `ukulele and bass on separate and highly successful recordings. This is the first time, however, that he has played both instruments on a CD of his own.

Here is a chance to fully appreciate Lyle's gift for coaxing the essence of jazz and pop standards out of a limited number of strings. These masterful arrangements in miniature are a reflection of Lyle's experience, intelligence and -- above all -- taste.

It's all here...the melody, the harmony, the swing, the grace. No frills indeed!
