Description: "Even seasoned Mercer fans will find some new treasures here, revealed by that indefatigable guide to the Great American Songbook, Daryl Sherman. A musician as well as a singer, Daryl has a special affinity for Mercer and has been no stranger to his work ... Johnny Mercer, I´m certain, would have loved Daryl Sherman´s tribute, which avoids the obvious and illuminates the full range of his legacy. I doubt there´ll be a better one." - Dan Morgenstern, Director of Rutgers University´s Institute of Jazz Studies "The most notable product of the Johnny Mercer Centennial is pianist-singer Daryl Sherman´s current album, ´Johnny Mercer: A Centennial Tribute.´ Its also the most festive: The program unfolds like an all-star concert, with no shortage of guest stars." - Will Friedwald Tracks from Daryl Sherman´s CD "Johnny Mercer: A Centennial Tribute" are featured in Clint Eastwood´s new film "Celebrating Johnny Mercer" which recently played on the Turner Classic Movies network.
