Review: At the center of "Unbroken" is the indelible connection between the blues and jazz. In that spirit, Austin carefully illustrates through a dozen originals and standards the indivisible spirit of blues-jazz and Black America, themselves, together, indivisible. Rather than a repertoire of twelve songs, Austin weaves an extended tone poem that reaches in all directions, touching all things.

2/ Greenwood – big horns start> midtempo jam & song> trumpet solo> sax solo> midtempo song> crescendo end
*3/ Ain't No Grave (Can Hold My Body Down) – drums start> drums & clapping duet> midtempo gospel-like song swings uptempo on vocal> horns jam> trumpet solo> uptempo song> crescendo end
4/ You Must Believe in Spring - piano starts, slow & quiet> slow song with every syllable enunciated> piano solo> slow fade
*5/ The Blessing – horns/vocal start> uptempo song> trumpet solo> midtempo jam> midtempo song> quick fade
6/ Con Alma - horns start> uptempo song> sax solo> piano solo & uptempo jam> drum solo> uptempo song> quick fade
7/ King of Pleasure – piano starts> midtempo song> midtempo jam> piano solo> trumpet solo> midtempo song> sax solo> quick stop
**8/ Better Git It in Your Soul – trumpet starts> uptempo jam & song> piano solo> trumpet solo> uptempo song> quick fade
9/ Someday We'll All Be Free – lilting piano starts> slow song swings up to midtempo> piano solo> muted trumpet solo> midtempo song> fade
*10/ Music's Gonna Meet Me There – bass starts> slow tempo song swings mightily into strutting uptempo> trumpet solo> sax solo> bass solo> midtempo song> crescendo end
**11/ Resolution – bass starts> rocking uptempo song> uptempo jam> sax solo gets wild & wooly> wailing scat solo> long fade
12/ Keep Your Eyes on the Prize – bass starts> slow blues song morphs into gospel> slow fade
