	Oregon Jazz Scene Review — January 2006 Issue Autumn Waltz, Brad Mersereau; piano and synthesizers. This is a mixed bag for Brad Mersereau. Nearly all the tunes are his creations, and many of them have engaging, “catchy” melodies. One such tune is My My Mambo with Steve Christofferson working away at the piano and Nancy King and Tom Grant handling a fun filled vocal duo. Another is Sanya Grace, Mersereau’s delicate waltz. Others that caught my ear were Lucky Blues, Autumn Waltz and a charming piano solo on Next Dance. The synthesizers are mostly kept at arm’s length and with a cadre of Portland pals, Brad Mersereau has given us a CD showing lots of thought and care. Self-produced, 2005; Play Time: 47:01. (Three stars) Received composition and performance credits for 2 tunes in the Chris Rock movie, I Think I Love My Wife. For the film only, Sanya Grace has been retitled Song for Sanya, and Lucky Blues has been retitled Feeling Lucky.
