Bob Florence's latest diversion from his Limited Edition Big Band is likely to prove as much of a joy as his recent solo piano albums. His unique take on standard material, his palpable pleasure in examining the great American Song Book , peeling back layer after layer exposing hitherto unexplored lyrical properties within well known and less well known songs.
His live performances on the West Coast as a solo pianist have created a new audience alongside his many big band followers.
Listening to this CD, being seduced by the beauty of Ms. Sanders voice and her way of interpreting the songbook, there is no doubt that the resulting CD is pure gold.
This was a CD waiting to be made and Bob Florence is to be congratulated on his vision and good taste.
Remarkably there was no sheet music, just two talented friends reveling in the joy of this great music and we are invited.
I quote" -.....this was all improvised. We brought nothing into the studio but our memories, instincts and excitment".
