...with Burt`s arrangement and vocal participation. I don`t know its provenance or intent. Nor have I ever understood why Nikki Jean`s brilliant album tanked or why almost nothing has been heard from her since. Anyway:

'Pennies In A Jar' is very 21st century Bacharach.

Thank you Blair, beautiful version of the song.
It was released on special Japanese edition of 2011 CD "Pennies in a jar".

A live rendition of 'Pennies In A Jar' featuring Nikki Jean alone at the piano and of better quality than the live performance posted on here before. The song's piano chord inversions are so typical of Burt.
