It was December 2002 when Peter Friestedt released his 1st leader album,"The LA Project". The album was recorded in North Hollywood, between December 1999 to July 2000. The album features co-written with and lead vocal performances by Bill Cantos, Michael Ruff, Joseph Williams and Bill Champlin. Among the players we find legendary names, such as Russell Ferrante, Jimmy Haslip, Abraham Laboriel, Brandon Fields, Jeff Richman and Michael Shapiro. Zink Music, Sweden has updated the booklet, adding lyrics and additional liner-notes from Bill Champlin, Bill Cantos, Michael Ruff and Peter himself, designed an overall more up to date look, still using the original cover picture! The expanded edition has been added 4 bonus tracks, a live version of “Peace Of Mind”, with Bill Cantos from 2004, a cool alternate version of “Livin’ in Your Eyes”, a tremendous instrumental version of “Take A Little Chance” and a never before released instrumental called “Cruisin”.

This highly praised album is a must if you are into Chicago, Toto, Airplay, Maxus and all othr giants of the genre! Well produced in HDCD, well crafted songs all performed by the best there is!
