Steve Allen Plays Jazz Tonight.......2006-11-09

This is what a tight Jazz Ensemble is suppose to sound like
Very Good!

Well done!.......2005-02-25

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.

Steve Allen Plays Jazz Tonight.......2002-10-28

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

Jazz the way I like it!!.......2001-10-13

Granted, I'm no *expert*, but ya know what??...this is just DOGGONE GOOD MUSIC!!! The tunes on this CD are great, old standards...nice, smooth, awesome jazz! What more is there to say? A great CD - highly recommended! One of my favorite jazz CDs!

This cd showcases the other side of Steve.......2000-10-02

I bet you didn't know that Steve Allen could be a jazz pianist. Well, the verdict is in and Steve succeded at his dream. Congratulations, Steve!

What a wonderful job Steve did with this cd. He played like he was a natural jazz star. He also attracted a great supporting cast to help him sound brilliant. I can't say enough good things about this cd. I wish there would be more of the same to follow.

The only draw back I have about this cd is the repertoire. A lot of the songs offered on this cd, I didn't know. This was probably becasue Steve used some of his origianl works and some other songs that I didn't particulary know or like.

Recommendation: I Would Like To Recommend This CD
