O’s Notes: Pete mans the B3 with a solid cast including Joe Beck (g), Ernie Colon (perc), Mike Demicco (g), Jesse Gress (g), Erik Lawrence (sax), Ken Lovelett (perc), Harvey Sorgen (d) and John Cariddi (g). They strike a cool, funky groove through ten tracks. They reconfigure “Love For Sale” and then serve up a juicy version of Jaco Pastorius’ “Teen Town”. Pete also adds several originals notably “I’m Falling”. “The Question Of U” is a rock blues screamer followed by the more mellow blues of “The Face In The Mirror”, another original. This is feel good music.
