"When I kind of got into songwriting, I realized how well structured these songs were and I think I took a lot of my lessons from them," he explained.

He is releasing the new album with the help of Grammy awarded producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krali & her band, whilst guests will be fellow classics Stevie Wonder and Eric Clapton.
