Barry's Paradise Café II original material album is not quite done. Some of his songwriting partners were in the middle of other projects they were working on. So they couldn't finish their part of the songs. Since Barry hadn't put an album out in quite a while. He decided to do a standards album. It
would be just him on the piano and bass. With the bass sound coming from a keyboard that can could like a bass. Barry chose sixteen songs total fifteen old songs and one new song called Night Songs. These are standards by some of his favorite standards by some of his favorite songwriters. On the album is. Side one 1.It's Magic Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne 2.Night and Day Cole Porter 3.
