“Alone in the Stars,” originally composed by Jane McNealy in 1977, has been re-released in an instrumental version, showcasing the saxophone work of Harold Battiste Jr. This track combines McNealy’s poignant keyboard melodies with a relaxed bossa nova rhythm and atmospheric synth strings.
Harold Battiste Jr. was a seminal figure in American music, notable for his contributions as a saxophonist, composer, and the founder of AFO Records, the first African-American musician-owned label in the South. His work significantly shaped the sounds of New Orleans jazz and R&B, and he was instrumental in the careers of artists like Sam Cooke and Sonny & Cher.
