Review by Alistair McQuade

Now Alone is a collaborative album by Chuck Marohnic, David Friesen, and Joe LaBarbera that showcases their individual talents as well as their ability to work together as a cohesive unit. The album features ten tracks that are a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are beautifully arranged and performed.

The trio's chemistry is evident from the first notes of the opening track, "Now Alone," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Marohnic's piano playing is delicate and emotive, Friesen's bass work is fluid and melodic, and LaBarbera's drumming is understated yet powerful.

The album features a variety of moods and styles, from the upbeat and funky "The Way You Look Tonight" to the contemplative and introspective "Where Do We Go From Here?" Each track is a showcase for the trio's virtuosic playing and their ability to communicate with each other musically.

Summary by Alistair McQuade

Now Alone is a masterful album that highlights the talents of three exceptional musicians. It is a must-listen for fans of jazz and anyone who appreciates great music.
