"Although most audiences know my work as a Broadway performer," Leung said in a statement about his new recording, “I love music of all styles. I wanted to ‘cover’ these songs in a way that would make the listener hear them again with a new perspective…My collaborators and I aimed to create the unique sound of this album by combining a standard jazz trio and a string quartet. I want the listener to hear these beloved songs as if they were discovering them for the first time, while still honoring the intent of the original."
