'Keeping My Composure' sparkles with the wonderful creativity of Charley Harrison's music, and it is a CD that exemplifies that special relationship between Charley and the Chicago Jazz Orchestra."

New favorite album
author: Steve G
This has got to be one of the best jazz albums of the year - if not ever! I bought it for the (tongue in cheek) Recipe for Romance song that I had heard on the radio, but the rest of the album is outstanding too. It is definitely a CD that can be played straight through, you will not find a weak song on it. Highly recommended!
