O’s Notes: Bobby Broom is an established guitarist having produced countless albums as a leader and a sideman. He has played standards, originals and live concert jams. For My Shining Hour he elects to cover old songs that still have relevance today. Bobby’s arrangements put his hand and heart into the mix. The formula works best on “Jitterbug Waltz”, “The Tennessee Waltz”, “Just One of Those Things” and “Sweet and Lovely”. Dennis Carroll plays bass and Makaya McCraven keeps time as the trio illuminates the past with new light and Bobby Broom soul.
