(PRWEB) February 21, 2004 --Re-Entry," featured review in the February issue of All About Jazz, is a daring solo recording," writes staff reviewer John Kelman. Mlely is one of the few pianists out there who can extend a solo piano interpretation to seven minutes and maintain interest throughout... It is an inventive and passionate album that deserves to expose Mlely to a broader audience."
Additional quotes from the review:
But for all his sense of invention, melodic diversions and ability to break up the rhythm while, all the while, implying a strong pulse, Mlely manages to keep things accessible. This is no ‘outside exploration a la Cecil Taylor; this is a considered investigation into the melodic potential of each piece. Even on originals like 'Never Quite Say,' with its lightning fast runs and slightly more abstruse changes, Mlely never loses sight of the core of the tune."
His playing exudes confidence and a sense that, as exploratory as he gets, he always knows where he is going. Nothing feels left to chance, yet the spirit of improvisation is strong; within the context of compositional structure Mlely takes the tunes to places that often surprise. Even pieces like ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic, while always keeping the melody near the surface, take unexpected twists and turns."
