"Oh Baby"  Mike Melvoin 

The title of this truly inspired trio disc could be an uninitiated person's reaction to the pianist's astounding resume, which features stops on the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds", Frank Sinatra's "That's Life", and even the Jackson Five's "ABC," among hundreds of other rock roll-era triumphs. Mike's heart has always been in jazz, however, and this disc gives him an opportunity to play with several cats who are equally adept at this type of improvisational bebop as well as smooth, funky jazz bassist extraordinaire Brian Bromberg and, on two tracks, sax man Tom Scott. All held together by the wide ranges of power and subtlety of drummer John Guerin.  
A leader in Yellow Dogs' 2002 top 20 of Jazz!
