 Brian
Swartz, an L.A. based jazz and session musician and
Stomvi artist has a new CD.
After playing with the Bob Florence Big Band and again with
his "Limited Edition" quartet that included bassist Trey
Henry and drummer Dick Weller, Swartz convinced Bob
Florence to record a collection of standards for a new
CD. Thus was born the Brian Swartz Quartet Featuring Bob
Florence.
From a review on "Jazzreview.com," reviewer Edward Blanco said:
"Live At The Jazz Bakery is a recording of six old standards
played in a straight-ahead soft and mellow style with many
improvisational phrases done with elegance and grace by
Swartz, punctuated by the classy piano playing of Bob
Florence and supported by a rhythm section that claims
their own portion of each tune with style." He continues that "as a jazz
lover you can appreciate the music, musicianship and the
harmony you'll find on this album." In summary, Mr. Blanco says "In all,
Live At The Jazz Bakery is one excellent CD that I enjoyed listening to. Great
job Brian Swartz. I look forward to his next project.
