The Alan Broadbent Trio’s previous Savant release, ‘New York Notes’ (SCD2166), received rave reviews in the international press. The Guardian wrote, “The bubbling stream of notes is both unpredictable and inevitable, and following its twists and turns is a joy.” Couleurs Jazz (France) proclaimed, “Behold! A precious gem of a jazz recording.”
“Trio in Motion” finds Broadbent, Billy Mintz and Harvie S reunited in the pianist’s New York apartment-studio recording music that is spontaneous, surprising, possessing a sly humour and emotionally involving.
Broadbent received two Grammy awards and has collaborated with Natalie Cole (Unforgettable), Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, Diana Krall and Paul McCartney. Each tune on the setlist is imbued with a warm intimacy and the refreshing, slightly piquant glow of intensity which warms both the listener’s heart and mind.
Personnel: Alan Broadbent (piano), Harvie S (acoustic bass), Billy Mintz (drums)
Today’s ‘play it again and again if you like’
Sounds quite splendid on Quobuz and hopefully it will not be too long before such events can be staged again.

I’ve just posted this in the WAYLTAWMABI thread, but it need to go here too. If you like guitar playing of the highest order, Larry Coryell will need no introduction. Highly recommended.
A little off topic, but this morning I saw Lee Morgan’s documentary “I Called Him Morgan” on Netflix. I knew little about him other than what I read on this thread and other forums about Blue Note’s Tone Poet. I have Cornbread (Tone Poet), The Siderwinder (classic vinyl series) and I found this document very good. Very interesting, but very sad story. I recommend it if anyone is a fan of him or of the Jazz era. More than an hour and a half of beautiful images and confessions … The vision and comments are yours.
