A whole album of star songs and at that, it is a strictly instrumental, solo piano album recorded at Berkeley’s famous Maybeck Recital Hall. But unlike McKenna’s previous outings there, this one isn’t “live” for an audience. It’s McKenna alone with a grand piano, musing just for himself and the recording crew, going for a perfect sound in the most intimate of settings. But then, McKenna has already been featured on two ”Live At Maybeck” albums, his solo concert was the second in the series, and his duo album with his favorite guitarist, Gray Sargent, was the second in the new “Concord Duo” series.
Coming up with an album of star songs began as just a thought. Such thematic device are a part of McKenna’s approach to music making, a way to put together songs he loves without resorting to overdone or obvious themes.

This Dave McKenna solo piano session focuses on songs with a "star" theme to their titles, many of which are standards, though there are a few less familiar pieces included, too. The Brazilian pop song "Estrela, Estrela" serves as an effective if brief opening and closing theme to the CD. McKenna's lyrical side is frequently on display, especially in "A Handful of Stars," "Stardust," the richly textured "Stella by Starlight," a shimmering "Lost in the Stars," and the little known ballad "A Song from the Stars." But this session is far more than just a collection of slow, dreamy performances. He rumbles through a driving rendition of "Star Eyes" and shows off his striding left hand in the whimsical take of "When You Wish Upon a Star." McKenna even includes a rare original composition, "Star Kissed," penned just before the recording took place. This lively bop vehicle sounds like a perfect set closer for a club date. Sadly, this valuable Dave McKenna CD was deleted from Concord's catalog a few years after it was released, along with many of his recordings for the label.
