MusicDish Reviews "A Little Night Waltz" The G. F. Mlely Trio
Nathan Gold Reviews The G. F. Mlely Trio CD Release "A Little Night Waltz" For The Online Industry Journal MusicDish
(PRWEB) January 12, 2004 --There is a timelessness to much of Mlelys music," writes Nathan Gold in his review for the online industry journal, MusicDish of 'A Little Night Waltz," featuring the G. F. Mlely Trio with Bill Markus and Gene Stone.
Some cullings from that review:
There is a lot of shifting of tonal centers in Mlely's compositional work, which can not be easy for any bassist to master in short order. But, [Bill] Markus does a splendid job of it ... quick fingering through a complex of chromatic chord changes... also some excellent solo percussion work from Gene Stone, who has that quality, rare in a drummer, of percussive restraint that works so well in a trio setting."
The waltzes highlight Mlely's inventiveness, both in their composition and pianistic performance. There is nothing borrowed from elsewhere that one can point a finger at."
And original they are indeed, especially if understood that originality is to mean performance that reveals little to no copying - copping, it used to be called - of any other known style."

Mlely is also credited for starting the nation's first secondary school songwriting workshop.
