After the second Jay Graydon Allstars tour of Japan and Scandinavia in '96, Sherwood was so happy with the way the band played his songs from the tour that he grabbed some of the players, Jay Oliver & Tris Imboden w/ John Pierce and Carl Verheyen and rehearsed new songs and then immediately went into the studio and cut six tracks for the CD "Folis Paradyce" (pronounced Fools Paradise). The first cut, Mercy, co-written by composer-arranger-keyboardist, Jon Gilutin. Jon co-wrote "I Got a New Attitude" for Patti LaBelle and has played with so many heavies in the bizzzzzzzz. He is definitely the Funk Munk. Two other songs were co-written with composer-guitarist, Tedi Sarafian: Living The Moment and Broken Lines. Discretion written by Peter Roberts (The Roberts Bros.) and Sherwood (What can we say, "Loose Lips Sink Ships"). The title song, Folis Paradyce, In the Light of All Things, and Stand Still written by Sherwood and Celia Xavier and last but not least the solo guitar instrumental by Sherwood, After Me. |
