Really nice, 
I like "Speak Softly Love". This one is superior to the CD version.
But someone should tell Joey to put away his mobile phone before sitting
at the organ. During the whole recording you can hear the organ percepting
the mobil phone heartbeat occasionally (e.g. at 00:30 - 00:40).

Reminds me on the recording in some SF jazz club when one could hear local
police broadcasting in the recording of JOS.
