│ ││
│ With so many musical directions going on throughout Alan ││
│ Broadbents career from day to day, its good that he always ││
│ finds time for creative sessions with his straightahead ││
│ trio. Over the years, each of his trio recordings has given ││
│ us a memorable performance, while his nightclub sessions ││
│ leave everyone in the room with musical souvenirs to carry ││
│ around inside for months at a time. You dont forget the kind ││
│ of swinging quality that Broadbent brings to the forum. ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ As its title suggests, Round Midnight provides a taste of ││
│ the mood that this pianists trio engagements offer the Los ││
│ Angeles jazz scene. Nobody does it better. Clear and ││
│ sparkling, Broadbent's piano magic mixes tradition with ││
│ fresh musical ideas. Revered melodies take on a new life. ││
│ Within a lyrical framework, he explores the reasons behind ││
│ our love for these favorite songs, locating the heart of ││
│ each and then running with it in an adventurous exploration. ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ Bassist Brian Bromberg and drummer Joe LaBarbera think the ││
│ same way, and the trio finds creative juices swirling behind ││
│ every phrase. None of their work ever turns out as if its ││
│ been there before. The trios performances are always ││
│ spontaneous, fresh and alive. ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ Round Midnight surges with emotional warmth. The pianist ││
│ allows sensual cascades to portray his feelings, while ││
│ underlying harmonies glisten in the mist. He transports you ││
│ from where youre listening to one of Los Angeles' local ││
│ nightspots, where youre surrounded by folks who enjoy the ││
│ music as much as you do. Bromberg steps forward with a ││
│ lovely solo that brings a hush to the room. His bass seems ││
│ to weep tears of joy as he lets each phrase ring ││
│ collectively at its closing. Double stops and quick-running ││
│ spurts infuse the songs theme with subdued fire. LaBarberas ││
│ wire brushes provide the essential textures while he lays ││
│ down a solid rhythmic foundation that migrates from mellow ││
│ balladry to a leisurely stroll, a romantic Latin aside, and ││
│ a closing rubato dream. ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ From uptempo bebop and swing to mellow ballads that swirl ││
│ with passion, Broadbents program covers it all. Holding on ││
│ to what has been handed down, still putting a personal stamp ││
│ on each selection, hes brought us a new album that not only ││
│ comes highly recommended, but essential. ││
│ ││
│ If you like this release go out and buy it. ││
