A sophisticated guitarist who worked early in his career with Harry Connick Jr. and Diana Krall but has most frequently been heard as a leader of his combos, Russell Malone has a full knowledge of jazz history, seems to know thousands of songs, and always comes up with fresh interpretations.

He is only infrequently heard as an unaccompanied soloist, making this solo performance of the Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love” a rare treat.

Malone plays the piece at a relaxed tempo and makes it sound like a superior jazz ballad.
