    The guitar trio is a challenging format for any six stringer. So often the
    end result is an album full of knuckle busting licks and very little in the
    way of substance. Veteran guitarist Bobby Broom avoids those pitfalls on his
    latest effort Song And Dance. Broom, along with bassist Dennis Carroll and
    drummer Kobie Watkins, avoids a noodle fest and serves the melodies the
    respect they deserve. Make no mistake though, these guys can cook.
    The selection of tunes on this outing is varied and offers something for
    everyone while retaining a cohesiveness that is often missing on
    contemporary jazz offerings. This is a straight-ahead affair to be
    sureùthink Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery, not Bill Frisell and Pat
    Metheny.

    Song And Dance features pop tunes along with standards and some well-penned
    originals. The Beatles' ôCan't Buy Me Loveö kicks things off and the
    infectious melody is played with a strong swinging groove. ôThe Little
    Rascals Themeö is a burning up-tempo number that segues into an unexpected
    rubato closing. Some other highlights include the Jimmy Webb classic
    ôWichita Linemanö and the standard ôYou And The Night And The Music.ö The
    rhythm section also gets the chance to stretch out with some fiery soloing
    on the classic ôSmile.ö

    Seasoned musicians possess the requisite skill to take seemingly simple pop
    songs and use them as vehicles for improvisation. Bobby Broom states in the
    liner notes of Song And Dance ùöThis is nothing new. Jazz musicians have
    been doing this since the beginning, taking popular music and interpreting
    it.ö
