Personnel: Harry Watters (trombone); Harry Watters; Glenn Dewey (bass instrument); Dan Roberts (piano); Steve Fidyk (drums). Recording information: Bias Recording Company, Springfield, VA (2004). Author: Michael Bailey. An exciting trombonist with the technique of a Bill Watrous and a strong sense of humor, Harry Watters is well featured throughout this boppish set. Despite the subtitle being "Love Songs," most of the performances are up-tempo romps. The order of the songs is slightly wrong since "Am I Blue" and "You Stepped Out of a Dream" are reversed, but the music is highly enjoyable. Watters, backed by a fine if obscure rhythm section, takes highly expressive and technically skilled solos on such numbers as "All The Things You Are," "When My Dreamboat Comes Home" and "Just Squeeze Me," showing that he is one of the most potentially great trombonists on the scene in the early 21st century. ~ Scott Yanow Out Of A Dream: Love Songs Music Harry Watters Out Of A Dream: Love Songs Songs Out Of A Dream: Love Songs Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   Excellent Jazz Quartet, Very Smooth Trombone Harry Watters has done it again. The master of smooth, listenable trombone playing has put together a fantastic jazz CD here. Harry, along with this top of the line rhythm section, will melt your heart with the sensual & rhythmic interaction with these Love Song melodies.
The rhythm section is one of the best I've heard and the sensativity between solo and rhythm throughout this CD is a joy to listen to.
The overall sound of this CD has a wonderfully relaxing feel to it. I just love sitting down and putting on this CD and letting myself be "In The Dream" that the mood of this CD creates.

Love Songs comes highly recommended for all jazz lovers. Released last month, just in time for Valentine's Day, Harry Watters' collection of love songs rings true and faithful to the cause. He improvises over each trusted melody and fashions its meaning to suit his needs.
A thorough background in both traditional and modern jazz has prepared the trombonist well. He served as graduate assistant to Professor Ellis Marsalis at the University of New Orleans, and he currently serves with both the Army Blues Jazz Ensemble and the United States Army Brass Quintet.
Slow ballads such as “Angel Eyes” and “My One and Only Love” provide mood music for all eternity. Watters' buttery tone and fluid technique allow these precious melodies to roll off the page in graceful, confident strides. The full force of his trombone tone delivers a knockout blow.
Bassist Glenn Dewey adds delectable solo spots to the slower, romantic ballads. The deep pitch of his instrument fits in nicely with the quartet's smooth sounds. Watters seems to draw his strength from the compositions themselves as he builds each piece forcefully and emotionally into a passionate bundle.
It's difficult to pick a high point from Watters' album, since every track stands out with special qualities. The trombonist has laced variety into his program in such a way that we're treated to a new page with each song. “You Stepped Out of a Dream” rambles uptempo with extensive trombone and bass improvisation. “Am I Blue?” oozes passionately with deep feeling. “When My Dreamboat Comes Along” shuffles along happily in celebration of the spirit that drives us. Out of a Dream: Love Songs comes highly recommended for all jazz lovers.
