Talk to Your Tomatoes is an exciting collection of pop and jazz classics as well as originals penned with longtime collaborator Gary William Friedman, who also did the arrangements and orchestrations. For the first time in their collaboration, Stevie is covering a song from Friedman’s hit Broadway musical The Me Nobody Knows. Joining Stevie are some of today’s most adventurous and gifted jazz musicians, and the album is richly arranged with orchestration variations incorporating a horn combo and string orchestra.
