Featured tracks include "Friends" (an original composition featuring a duet with the late Sax legend Stan Getz recorded in 1990), as well as an orchestral arrangement of the hit "A Taste Of Honey". Alpert offers two vocal efforts, "Someone to Watch Over Me", and a new version of "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face". The album closes with "Smile", co-written by Charlie Chaplin, whose legendary lot became the home of the A&M Studios back in 1966.

gollark: Generating speech and parsing it into words (phonemes?) isn't exactly the same problem.
gollark: That would make sense. A pi is probably also overkill there for anything but camera stuff.
gollark: Our robot is just using L293D things with the possibly very underpowered motors.
gollark: I mean, we're not approaching the limits of the Pi's computing power or anything, it's just nontrivial to do things.
gollark: Good for them?
