Lorel Zaide (“ZAY-dee”) was born and raised in Chicago as a first generation American to parents from the Philippines. He earned a degree in Hotel/restaurant management from UNLV while playing in Las Vegas Jazz clubs and running a DJ business. He moved back to Chicago, then rounded up his Las Vegas jazz band to record this album of 10 of the most popular jazz tunes ever written. The band is tight but safe, but this will do quite well if you are in the mood for standards. - Pete
