Ties of Love is an album by the pianist Buddy Montgomery, released by Landmark in 1987.[1] [2] [3] The album, which was Montgomery's first in a decade, was recorded partly in New York with longtime producer Orrin Keepnews.[4]
Scott Yanow of AllMusic noted: "By 1986, Buddy Montgomery had not recorded as a leader for many years, and because he is so well-respected, his first Landmark outing became quite an all-star affair. ... Despite all of the guests, the leader (who contributed five of the eight songs) does not get buried in the proceedings and holds his own with his friends." Fanfare singled out Claudio Roditi for praise, and called the album "a breezy session with some good, consistent music."[5] Mark Stryker of Jazz Times commented: "Strong material, an infectious spirit, and bicoastal bands."[6]
