Background
After being founded in 2000, the Berlin Jazz Orchestra had their first demo release with the label 44 Records in 2004 (Update), produced by Jacky Wagner. Roughly the same program was to be released later in 2007 for You're Everything. The Update CD release paved the way for this in creating fine demo and test CD where many details of Steve Gray's arrangements were worked out in the studio.
Track listing
All tracks written by various composers, all selections arranged and adapted for jazz orchestra by Steve Gray.

Critical reception
"Marc Secara and his Berlin Jazz Orchestra present with You're Everything a lavishly produced CD. Contributing flattering, powerful, and despite his youth, a secure voice and soulful interpretations that are not too corny, just as did the rousing original arrangements by Steve Gray, the funky brass riffs and jazzy solos of a big band under the direction of trombone soloist Jiggs Whigham. The strings remain subtly in the background.
... an unconditional recommendation for all friends of an 'old crooner.' Tasty and sure past footsteps, Secara makes big steps of his own."
