"Everytime I Think Of You" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition.
A great piano trio is a thing of beauty. The history of jazz is filled with them. PERSONAL STANDARDS showcases just such a trio; Alan Broadbent, Putter Smith and Joe LaBarbera. Light swing and delicate ballads and crisp are enlivened by crisp interplay in this collection of original tunes. Broadbent's lush piano style offers the deep colors and complex textures often believed to exist only with larger ensembles. Such high musicianship in such a compact package is what makes this trio so special.
Eight of the nine selections were penned by Broadbent, whose compositional style ranges from Bill Evans-like mood explorations ("Idyll") to tender ballads ("Everytime I Think Of You") and the blues ("Uncertain Terms"). Each tune makes an ideal vehicle for these tasteful soloists. On the up-tempo "Chris Craft" drummer LaBarbera's shows off some fiery stick work without overpowering the intimate setting. Putter Smith's "North" reflects the deep wood tones of the composer's instrument perfectly. In all, PERSONAL STANDARDS is tonal poetry, as the listener is treated to an intimate portrait of three exceptional musicians.

| | Ray Brown/Monty Alexander/Russell Malone CD (2002) Limited Edition
Personal Standards CD music
$15.65
This album was Ray Brown's last recording before his death on July 2, 2002.
This limited edition contains a bonus disc featuring select Ray Brown performances on Telarc chosen by producer Elaine Martone.
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
It would be nice to say that Ray Brown's final recording session before his sudden and untimely death in the summer of 2002 resulted in a masterpiece, but although this trio session with guitarist Russell Malone and pianist Monty Alexander is perfectly serviceable, a masterpiece it is not. It's a very attractive album -- Brown was probably not capable of producing anything less ...

| | Dan Mcintyre Hourglass CD (2000)
Personal Standards music CDs
$12.95
Southport Records, to their everlasting credit, continue to put to wax, now metal, the talents of very good, but not necessarily well-known outside the geographic area, Chicago musicians. Composer and educator, as well as performer, Dan McIntyre's maiden album, Hourglass is the epitome of relaxed, sophisticated jazz playing. Neither maudlin nor cloying, the itinerary of standards and two originals is classically interpreted and presented by cream of the crop professional musicians on intimate terms with the material and with each other's performing preferences and idiosyncrasies. McIntyre's romantic leanings come to the fore on several cuts from this session, but no more than on the not-too-oft recorded "That Sunday That Summer." McIntyre uses this piece to exhibit the balance he achieves between the plucked single string and heavier textures of chordal strumming. Songs done in a Latin tempo are stock in trade for guitar albums and that tempo is represented here with Toots Thielemans' "Bluesette" and A. C. Jobim's "Waters of March," with veteran percussionist Alejo Poveda carving out and sustaining the beat. The title track, McIntyre's own "Hourglass," is a blues where Dennis Luxion takes advantage of the opportunity to put his pianistic skills to work. The other McIntyre-penned tune, "Old Leprechaun" is done medium tempo and features a musical conversation between McIntyre's guitar and Phil Gratteau's snares. "Wendy," with a long bass opening chorus by Nick Schneider, is one of the highlights of the session as McIntyre slides in behind Schneider's opening. The session is not entirely limited to slower ballads; "Just One of Those Things" and "Falling in Love with Love" reveal McIntyre's swinging side. While hewing to the tradition of Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel, the influence of Joe Pass on McIntyre is apparent, especially with regard to the unique finger picking Pass approach, which ...
