n the video below you'll find the soulful Bobby Broom talking about the making of new album My Shining Hour (Origin) due for release next month.

It's the Sonny Rollins veteran's trio playing choice standards, the guitarist with bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer Makaya McCraven.

'Jitterbug Waltz', 'Just One of Those Things', 'My Ideal', and 'Tennessee Waltz', a tune Newk himself is often identified with, all crop up on the new album.

Broom is out on tour in the States at the moment opening for Steely Dan with his outfit the Organi-sation, gigging all over this summer.
