"As his self-confidence and creative thought has deepened, [Alan] Broadbent’s style has gained great personality, while remaining indebted to his inspirers—Bill Evans, Red Garland, Bud Powell and Lennie Tristano. Supported here by two models of consistency, bassist Harvie S and drummer Billy Mintz, the New Zealand-born pianist, who possesses a special touch with a melody, holds an equilibrium between handsomely crafted prose and assertiveness.” –Downbeat Magazine review
