For the average recording artist assembling a Greatest Hits album
is a relatively simple procedure - just putting together the ten or twelve
most successful recordings the artist has enjoyed in his or her career.

     In the case of Jonathan and Darlene the selection is certainly far more
complicated.  Jonathan is of course firmly convinced that every track in 
their five albums is a real "hit", and the process of picking of picking the
best fourteen for Volume One has been a difficult and trying one for him.

     The carefree abandon of their first PIANO ARTISTRY album, the Gallic
sophistication of their PARIS album, the magical arrangements and 
Darlene's innovative sound effects of the SINGALONG, the nostalgic 
excellence of SONGS FOR SHEIKS AND FLAPPERS, and finally the swinging 
jazz of the DUKE AND FATS album all make for an extremely tortuous 
selective process.  And then some of their younger fans insisted that 
their adventures with contemporary music be included.  They were made 
during Jonathan's "NOW" period, where he brought his remarkable genius 
into full contact with the popular song of today.  Darlene's remarkable 
effort on STAYIN' ALIVE, which required hospitalization for a few days 
after the recording session, is a testament to the dedication these 
artists bring to their work.  ENJOY, and be on the lookout for Volume Two!
