I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through In that small cafe The park along the way The children's carousel The chestnut tree And the wishing well I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's bright and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll see you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the stars And I'll be seeing you

Make someone happy Make just one, someone happy Make just one heart to heart you cling to One smile that cheers you One face that lights when it nears you One man your everything to Fame, if you win it You know it’s over and done in a minute Where’s that real stuff in life, you cling to? Love is the answer Just someone to love is the answer Once you've found him Build your world around him Make someone happy Make just one, someone happy And then you will be happy too

All of me Why not take all of me Can't you see I'm no good without you Take my lips I want to lose them Take my arms I'll never use them Your goodbye Left me with eyes that cry How can I go on dear without you You took the part That once was my heart So why not take all of me

about

This album pays tribute to the jazz legend who was both a world-class musician and a champion of the performing arts in his community. The musicians carrying out this task represent some of the finest talent in Canadian jazz, but perhaps more significantly comprise a group of individuals who were influenced greatly and personally by The Senator’s mentorship in what it means to be a musician and leader.

The Honourable Tommy Banks was known as a pianist, conductor, arranger, composer, TV personality, actor, producer and politician (1936-2018). Tommy had an unparalleled, multi-faceted career spanning more than 60 years in virtually every aspect of the entertainment industry in Canada. A professional jazz pianist at age 14, he went on to lead his own bands, conduct symphony orchestras around the world, direct musical ceremonies at international events, host his own long-running television show, and act in film and television. He also served nearly 12 years in the Canadian Senate.

Tommy was chair (1978–86) of the Alberta Foundation for the Performing Arts and chair (1983–87) of the music program at Grant MacEwan College, Edmonton. He was a member (1989–95) and a policy consultant (1996– 98) of the Canada Council, and the chairman of the Edmonton Concert Hall Foundation (1989–91). In 1999, Edmonton named a street Tommy Banks Way in his honour. In 2010, he received SOCAN’s special achievement award for his contributions to Canada’s music industry and musical heritage.

Supported by the CKUA radio foundation, this album pays tribute to Tommy’s legacy as an artist, but also to the important marks The Senator left on Alberta and Canada as a community leader, politician, and champion of the performing arts.
