Alan Broadbent - Every Time I Think Of You (2006)

Alan Broadbent’s Every Time I Think Of You is a sophisticated and emotionally resonant jazz album that highlights the pianist’s remarkable touch, compositional depth, and elegant arranging style. Released in 2006, the album blends bop and post-bop language with lush orchestral textures, creating a refined balance between intimate trio jazz and cinematic expression. Broadbent’s piano playing is lyrical, technically assured, and deeply expressive, moving effortlessly between subtle ballad phrasing and more adventurous harmonic exploration. Interpretations of classics such as “Blue in Green,” “Lover Man,” and “Spring Is Here” are handled with grace and intelligence, while original works like “Autumn Variations” and “E.32nd Elegy” reveal his gift for melody and atmosphere. The support of Brian Bromberg, Kendall Kay, and The Tokyo Strings adds warmth, rhythmic strength, and sweeping color throughout the recording. Every Time I Think Of You is a beautifully crafted album that rewards listeners who appreciate thoughtful modern jazz with timeless elegance.
