Arranged by eight-time JUNO nominee Michael Occhipinti (The Sicilian Jazz Project/NOJO/Creation Dream - The Songs of Bruce Cockburn), an acclaimed musician and guitarist, 'The Universe of John Lennon' includes the talents of some of Canada’s most progressive and distinct vocalists: Elizabeth Shepherd, Yvette Tollar, Dominic Mancuso, Laila Biali and Denzal Sinclaire.
