4 out of 5 stars Everything Happens to Me.......2005-08-14

Johnny Mercer and Hoagy Carmichael wrote an obscure song called "Everything Happens to Me," but it's not on this album. Matt Dennis and Tom Adair wrote a much more famous song with the same title, and that's the one that appears here.

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful music - sounds easy!.......2000-04-20

I've always loved the sound of Mr Konitz, I confess, as much as that of Paul Desmond or Charlie Parker. Some have noted an alleged "thinness" of tone but I prefer to call his sound "distinctive and different" but also beguiling and attractive. Taste I guess. I enjoyed this album as much for the beautiful SOUND of the three instruments as for the melodic variations or swing it contains. Mr Mehldau has an exquisite touch - check out his solo on the title track - and Mr Haden, who favours always the low end of his instrument, has one of the best sounds in all bassdom, woody, full, resonant. This is not ground breaking music but a relaxed live recording of a trio of musicians very comfortable with each other and their art. They make it sound so easy. Mr Konitz's exploration of WHAT'S NEW is worth the price of admission. But all of Mr Mehldau's work on this album is a delight.

5 out of 5 stars nota bene.......2000-01-04

For the information of "editorial reviewer" Britt Robson, "Everything Happens to Me" was written by Thomas Adair and Matt Dennis, not Johnny Mercer and Hoagy Carmichael.

5 out of 5 stars This is a MUST HAVE Recording.....Beautifully Done.......1999-10-31

I attended the recording session at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles ( Dec 1996) The first Cd was entitled Alone Together....that is a great CD.....but I noticed that a lot of the material recorded in those 2 nights was left out.....I wanted to hear more. Finally in 1999 the second installment was released....ANOTHER SHADE OF BLUE..... DO yourself the favor now.....buy both the CD's they are both truly awesome recordings
