A previously unreleased remix of the the original version included on the CD. This remix has a London underground vibe to it with active loops and funky background parts, mixed on analog tape for a grittier, fuller bass and sweet highs. Phil's guitar work here is outstanding, trading licks with featured sideman Eric Marienthal on saxophone while paying tribute to one of Burt Bacharach's best songs. The Look Of Love is truly a classic, you'll want to make it a permanent addition to your music library.BIO: Phil Sheeran has established himself as a guitarist and composer with the national international release of his CD's"Breaking Through","Standing on Fishes","It's A Good Thing","Orchid" and The Marc Anthony Latin Guitar Tribute CD plus two holiday albums,"I'll Be Home For Christmas" and"The First Noel", and his most recent Japan only release"Phil Sheeran, The Best of Smooth Jazz Series".
