According to press notes: "Jonathan Whitton's 'Perfect Finite' examines the fine line between beauty and anguish with eloquence and unfathomable wit.  With his sadistic charm and heartbreaking honesty, Whitton takes his audience on a unique and transcendent journey through the universal human experience."  Tamra Stephenson accompanied on piano.
