Did you know that Night is Alive's music can be heard on the radio?🎙

Perfect example: "It Takes 3" featuring the Harry Allen Trio was played on Jazz, Ballads & Blues hosted by Al Lubiejewski.

"Sunday night's survey of modern mainstream jazz, Jazz, Ballads & Blues, spotlights great instrumentalists like Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Milt Jackson, Grant Green, John Coltrane, and Horace Silver, and great vocalists like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Chris Connor, Kurt Elling, Diana Krall, and the Four Freshmen. Every week, those great artists, and many more, including jazz's newest stars, play and sing everything from jazz classics and Broadway and Tin Pan Alley ballads to modern pop and rock tunes to the basic twelve bar blues."

"NIGHTS AT THE TURNTABLE
by Scott Yanow

IT TAKES 3

The combination of tenor-saxophonist Harry Allen, pianist Romano Sportiello, and drummer Bryan Carter (who takes an occasional vocal) is certainly a hit throughout their new It Takes 3 CD. Allen, who has long since joined Scott Hamilton at the top of the last few decades’ swing tenors, and Sportiello (a master at swing and stride) can always be relied upon to provide rewarding music. The lesser-known but talented Carter provides background fireworks and colorful interaction with the two lead voices.

Whether it is “Runnin’ Wild,” “Exactly Like You,” “It’s You Or No One,” or the swing era hit “It Seems I Heard That Song Before,” the trio creates plenty of swinging excitement. In addition, Sportiello (“It’s Sunny In Cape Cod”) and Allen (“Each And Every Yesterday”) contribute an original apiece and the trio jams happily on Arnett Cobb’s “Kathy’s Blues.”

This recording is as enjoyable as one would expect which means that anyone interested in spirited mainstream jazz simply has to get a copy."
