Live: An Evening with the Mel Brown Quartet
Tony Pacini —Piano
Dan Balmer—Guitar
Ed Bennett—Bass
Mel Brown—Drums
This is a quartet that communicates well. I really enjoy the combination of standards and originals that work like standards. Tony has really matured as a player. He always had chops, but is beginning to understand the art of under-statement. Dan Balmer has always been one of my favorite players from his time with Tom Grant and stints as leader and side-man. Ed and Mel are solid as always.
On a side-note: One of the great thrills of my musical career was trading fours with the great Mel Brown. That was something I'll never forget.
