O’s Notes: Guitarist Frank Vignola and percussionist Joe Ascione are back with the second edition of the Frank and Joe Show. This time they added several special guests to turn up the intensity another notch! Jane Monheit sings a cool version of “Manhattan” and Jan Siegel chirps on “Glow Worm” the two vocal tracks of 66 and 2/3. This is in addition to their increasingly popular groove. It is most prominent on “Quizas”, the cool, “After Hours” and “Sway” two of the best of the upbeat Latin songs of the set.
