WHAT THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS SAYING ABOUT
âIN A SENTIMENTAL MOODâ

Beegie Adair, Jazz Pianist and renowned Recording Artist for Village Square Records, a Steinway Artist, and Composer says:

âRon has a wonderful sense of harmony and is quite a fine pianist. This album is a lovely collection of some of Ronâs best ballads, both romantic and nostalgic, and itâs a great introduction to some really fine piano music. Have dinner, open a bottle of wine, sit back and relax, and let Ron put you in a mellow mood. You will enjoy this album. I doâ

Roger Spencer, Co-founder and Director for the Nashville Jazz Workshop, and Bassist, says:

âRon Browningâs style is reminiscent of several great pianists. It encompasses the intellect of Duke Ellington and the elegance of Hank Jones; the quirkiness of Thelonius Monk and the melancholy of Bill Evans. This recording shows an artist who is deep and muti-faceted. I truly enjoy this music and hope to hear more from pianist Ron Browning in the future.â

Jeff Steinberg, Pops Conductor for the Nashville Symphony and Other Orchestras, composer, arranger, and producer, says:

âEvery pianist has their own recipe when it comes to the standards, and Ronâs is a delightful concoction: a little blues, a little gospel, but all jazz. But you donât even have to own a piano to enjoy this collection. Everyone will. And my complements to the chef!â

Lori Mechem, Jazz Pianist and Recording Artist for Village Square Records, Composer, Co-Founder and Director of the Nashville Jazz Workshop, says:

âRon Brownings cd is a blend of sheer elegance and divine style, just like the sophistication of Duke Ellington. His choice of repertoire and supreme musicality is well premiered in this cd. I am very glad to have been a part of convincing Ron to record this project and hope that you love his music as much as I do.â

RONâS STYLE

Ron is a very spirited and passionate pianist. There is something very special in his touch that soothes the soul. His harmonies are lush, his melodies are hauntingly beautiful, his improvisational interpretations of these standards have the angels singing and the devils entertained all at the same time. There is a mystique about his approach to playing in general that stops the listener and forces them to mellow, wheither or not they are lovers of jazz and even if they donât know these tunes. Itâs a beautiful experience for the listener and the experience moves beyond the music itself.
