Jeff Berlin version of "Ave Maria"

[CindyB]

Many years ago (early 80's) Jeff Berlin did a recording of "Ave Maria". It was really beautiful and I'd love to learn it, but I can find any info on it - even the recording itself. Has anyone tabbed this?

Never heard the recording, but I've love to hear it, I bet it's amazing!

Edit: I see it's a on a record with Joe Diorio but I can't even find any samples online.

I first heard it on a sample tape from BIT back when I was thinking about going there. This would have been about 1985? The only thing I can remember from the tape was Berlin's piece. The Joe Dorio album is out of print, but I've found a place on the net that has a used copy. I can't figure out if this is the same version of the song that was on the tape, but it's the only recording that I can find any info about at all.

I had really hoped to find a transcription or at least some tab. I can't believe I'm the only person who remembers this piece.

I thought I would have came across it before since I'm a big fan of a lot of Jeff's work. I know his tunes like Tears in Heaven and Dixie are well known but I'd never heard of him playing Ave Maria until now!
