This 2025 release of NEW PERSPECTIVE by Steve Smith & Vital Information features music that former Journey drummer Steve Smith has previously recorded but with new arrangements that are vastly different from the original recordings. Included are three songs by Journey (Who’s Crying Now, Open Arms, Don’t Stop Believin’), one by Steps Ahead (Sumo by Michael Brecker), three from Vital Information (The Perfect Date, Charukeshi Express, Eight+Five) plus two new compositions (Three Of A Kind, Josef The Alchemist).
