Bassist Steve LaSpina had an opportunity to record seven of his originals (plus two standards) on the post-bop quintet date When I'm Alone. The music ranges greatly in emotions and is highlighted by the intense "Soaring," the waltz "Young Hearts" (with Billy Drewes sounding quite fluent on soprano), a solo bass feature on "My Romance," and a spooky "Anesthesia." Although guitarist Vic Juris and pianist Marc Copland have plenty of fine spots, the solo honors are usually taken by Drewes (particularly on soprano) and LaSpina. The individual melodies are not particularly memorable, but the moods are often haunting and the playing by the quintet is superlative. Overall When I'm Alone is a high-quality example of modern jazz.~Scott Yanow
