True Blue

David Last2015

We have a hi-tech duo of keyboards on this CD with a Roland Atelier AT900 and Yamaha Tyros 5. The tracks are mostly individual songs on this one too, which makes a change and with two super instruments, there’s no lack of sounds to choose from. There are a few pretty piano leads complete with flourishes including lovely versions of “September Song” and “Give Me A Sign”. Other highlights include, “Burning Bridges”, “That’s Livin’ Alright / I Could Be So Good For You”, “Material Girl”, “You Raise Me Up” and “The Final Countdown”.

As far as I can see, this is David’s fiftieth CD on the Maestro label, although I could be wrong and it could just be the fiftieth CD we’ve stocked. Either way it’s a pretty good output for a twenty year period.
