about the arrangements

"The majority of the arrangements on this project were done by the legendary Ralph Carmichael. Ralph has arranged for so many of the greats, Nat King Cole, Stan Kenton, Pat Boone, Jackie Gleason, Dave Boyer, Billy Graham, Amy Grant and the list goes on and on. Ralph has been around a long time, but this cat knows how to write. We also feature an arrangement on Swing Low by Chris McDonald. Chris is one of the most sought after arrangers and session trombone players in Nashville. We also feature a great trumpet solo on Walls of Jericho, arranged for us by Tommy Newsom from The Tonight Show with Doc Severinsen." ~ Jimmy Stahl

about the studio

"We were fortunate enough to be able to record at The Metal Works in Toronto, one of the top recording studios in Canada. It was an absolute pleasure working out the logistical and financial details with the manager, Chris Crerar. The actual recording and mixing was done by the their head engineer, Kevin Dietz. Kevin is a dream to work with, and he really knows his stuff. The mastering was done by L. Stu Young. The whole project was recorded in two days, five hours each day. Great job guys!" ~Jimmy Stahl
