Jazz guitarist Bobby Broom has been exploring the trio format to rewarding effect not only in his last two CDs, but on a weekly basis for the last ten years at the Evanston eatery called Pete Miller's Steakhouse - the place Broom calls his 'laboratory.' on THE WAY I PLAY, Broom delves into a program of jazz standards and American songbook classics with longtime trio-mates, Dennis Carroll, on bass and drummer Kobie Watkins. The chemistry is palpable-and-pleasurable-in these eight performances, which capture highlights from what the Chicago Tribune calls "One of the best ongoing engagements" in the Chicago area.
