Alan Broadbent "You And The Night And The Music" Jazz Music CD Review
Alan Broadbent, the richly talented Jazz artist has released his latest CD titled You And The Night And The Music and Wow! It’s good.
Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with You And The Night And The Music. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Alan Broadbent’s most impressive releases ever. Overall You And The Night And The Music is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Jazz fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.
While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tracks are You And The Night And The Music [track 1], Withe The Wind And The Rain In Her Hair [track 3], and What’s New [track 6]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 2, I Wish I Knew. Outstanding!
