O’s Notes: Italian saxophonist and composer Daniele Germani leads a band formed during their time at Berklee where they spent countless hours together as friends and music students. Now all in New York, the global quartet comes together for Germani’s debut. The tones are well-integrated between the musicians with most melodies being performed by pianist Justin Salisbury and Germani. Giuseppe Cucchiara (b) and Jongkuk Kim (d) round out the band. They explore free space on “You Like Won’t Find A Better Listener”. We enjoyed the tranquility of “They Move In On The Action” as they are off to a good start.
