O’s Notes: Nick is a talented musician who composed all of the music and lyrics for his debut, 26 Years. He plays sax, flute and keyboards and employs Tom Schizzano (g, keys), Tony Ventura (b), Cliff Hackford (d) and features Kenny Simmons (vocals). Frank Elmo and his father Walter are guest soloists a few selections. The sound is a retro combination of Chicago and Steely Dan that sounds fresh. Each of the thirteen tracks has a definitive pop with infectious riffs and vocals. Stefanacci is on the right track.
