Description/Reviews:

... this is Mickey's third solo work and serves as a heartfelt tribute to Keith Emerson. ...There is not a single cover version of an Emerson-related song, yet the album still plays like a retrospective of his career. This is accomplished by way of Simmonds' note-perfect interpretations of Keith's musical mannerisms and style. There is a range of genres covered, including symphonic, jazz, blues, ragtime, rock and prog. Quite appropriately, there are even some affectionate modernisations of classical pieces.
