Further good news: in their <em>Songbook<\/em>, Georgia Mancio sings her words to Broadbent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s songs with taste, feeling and faultless intonation. Their collaboration began after the Anglo-Italian singer wrote a lyric to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Long Goodbye,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a Broadbent composition for Charlie Haden\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 1991 Quartet West album <em><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2pRDJ9x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Haunted Heart<\/a><\/em>. A series of engagements in England gave the two opportunities to develop further repertoire. Some of the songs have been in Broadbent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s solo, trio and Quartet West books for years; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Where the Soft Winds Blow,&#8221; for instance. Some are brand new, including the tender \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lullaby for MM,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a remembrance of Mancio\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s father. Broadbent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s solo turns have the strength, logic and wit that make him a consistently interesting pianist. Bassist Oli Hayhurst and drummer Dave Ohm are sensitive in support.
