4.0 out of 5 stars Well done!, February 25, 2005

Steve Allen got together some very fine musicians for this date, and the excellent results show. Ken Peplowski (cl/ts), Glenn Zottola (tp), and Howard Alden (g) all contribute fine work on this CD. The rendition of Allen's "Everyone can see how much I love you" is the highlight here--a beautiful ballad done just right. A most enjoyable CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steve Allen Plays Jazz Tonight, October 28, 2002

Swingin' stuff, with just the right element of pathos (Tangerine, Body and Soul for early selection tandem). Outstanding sextet. Just enough of Steverino's ivory tinkling to let us know this is his kind of music. Peplowki's clainet and sax, Zottola's trumpet, Alden's guitar, Berghoefer's bass, Capp's drums get a workout. We remember the music from Steve's teevee days (Impossible, This Could Be the Start ....., Gravy Waltz, etc). This hits the spot just as well. Try it, you'll like. A Sinner Kissed An Angel, You Go To My Head, Can't Get Started. Great mood music, yet -- as we said, swingin' stuff that won't overpower you
