O’s Notes: Just a few seconds into the first selection “Blues Creole” Tiffany is soothing us with rich soulful vocals and scatting followed by excellent instrumentation letting us know we’re in for a treat. Cyrus Chestnut tickles the ivory with Aslin Parker (t), Mitch Butler (tb), Teodross Avery (sax), bassist Rodney Whitaker and Carl Allen (d) provide excellent support and some impactful solos too. Austin composed all or part of six of the dozen selections putting an indelible signature on“Unbroken. It is rare to hear this level of music anymore and we appreciated every bit of it!
