Recording So Many Stars (written by Sergio Mendes, Alan Bergman & Marilyn Bergman)

The first time I heard the song So Many Stars, written by the Brazilian composer Sergio Mendes, was when I received an album of Sarah Vaughan from my vocal teacher, Datevik Hovanesian as a gift. I just could not believe Sarah's interpretation. It took me a long time to have the courage to record the song myself. But little did I know what fate had in store... I had the good fortune to record the song with the amazing jazz legend Benny Golson.
