John's latest venture is his album, 'Sure Thing' which is a synthesis of all his past work and features classic songs from the 30's, 40's and 50's by Gershwin, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart. John arranged, produced and conducted all the music on his album with vocals by acclaimed American Jazz singer Joan Viskant. John had previously worked with Joan and knew that her distinctive voice would be able to do justice to the songs.
This new album is a collaboration of one of the world's greatest composers and arrangers and American singer Joan Viskant features an all star cast of musicians.
