LIKE MINDS - ALAN BROADBENT TRIO (CD)

Alan Broadbent is one of New Zealand's favorite musical sons and perhaps the most well-known
and multi-talented of them all. Many are familiar with his arranging and conducting for Sir
Paul McCartney  Diana Krall  Pat Metheny and Michael Bublé. Others may know Broadbent has
eceived 8 Grammy nominations and won 2 Grammy Awards for Best Orchestral Arrangement
Accompanying a Vocal  one for Natalie Cole and one for Shirley Horn. On Like Minds  Broadbent
takes a seat on the piano bench for his third Savant recording with his trio featuring the
great bassist Harvie S and the colorful drumming of Billy Mintz. Together these men play with
notable clarity and poise  and their performances - even those of familiar standards - are
wonderfully tuneful  sometimes whimsical and often moving  with the overall effect always
coming across as coolly engaging and totally spontaneous. I'm averse to playing what I jokingly
call big band trio arrangements ' where everybody plays the rhythmic hits  Broadbent explains.
I'll get a big band if I want to do that. For me  for the trio  I want it to change every time.
Spontaneous and off-the-cuff these 9 tracks may be but the closer you listen  the more
inventive and exquisitely crafted they sound  with the recording showing that  without a doubt
these three superb musicians are of like minds indeed.
