SECRETS
Many people's favorite record by Brian, Secrets was released on June 15, 1997 on Atlantic Records and was the first sonic switch that started Brian's iconic 'sound' that has continued throughout all his albums from then on. Starting to utilize top LA session musicians including Lenny Castro on percussion, Dwight Sills and Paul Jackson, Jr. on guitar in addition to top Chicago musicians including Richard Patterson on bass, Oscar Seaton, Jr. on drums plus Ricky Peterson on Hammond B3 organ, this record includes two smooth jazz hits, "So Good" and "On My Mind" that are still core songs in the format. Brian also worked with famed producer Paul Brown on two songs including a cover of David Sanborn's "Straight To The Heart." Gerald Albright and Jeff Golub are also featured.
Secrets was the first record that saw Brian collaborate extensively with saxophonist Steve Cole which started a long relationship culminating in the production of several of Steve's records over the years.
