Editorial Reviews

There is not a bad track on the CD -- from the first cut, a sparkling rendition of the title tune "Suddenly It's Spring," to the last track, "Detour Ahead," where Brownlow does some inventive improvising backed by Johnson's bass recalling Bill Evans/Scott LaFaro collaborations. In between, there are delights like "When You Wish Upon a Star," "I Fall in Love Too Easily," and "If I Should Lose You," which are given the respect they deserve by Brownlow and his group. Johnson's bass is especially lyrical on "When I Wish..." J.J. Johnson's melodic "Lament" once again confirms that simply stated musical themes can be as satisfying as more complex musical forms. This track is straightforward piano playing at its very best. Brownlow's own "The Leaves" with its slight bossa nova beat is a minor diversion from the general rhythmic pattern of the album. Brownlow recognizes his debt to Bill Evans with a sparkling rendition of "Orbits." Suddenly It's Bruno is highly recommended. ~ Dave Nathan Jack Brownlow Trio: Jack Brownlow (piano); Jeff Johnson (bass); Dean Hodges, Jason Vontver (drums). 1 Suddenly, It's Spring (with Trio) 2 Thrill Is Gone (with Trio) 3 Moonlight (with Trio) 4 I Fall in Love Too Easily (with Trio) 5 I Do It For Your Love (with Trio) 6 Lament (with Trio) 7 I Do It For Your Love (with Trio) 8 Gone With The Breeze (with Trio) 9 Leaves (with Trio) 10 I Fall in Love Too Easily (with Trio) 11 As Long as There's Music (with Trio) 12 If I Should Lose You (with Trio) 13 Detour Ahead .
