O’s Notes: Saxophonist Tim Meyer leads a modern jazz, large ensemble as the Keeper of the Flame. They play a soothing arrangement of “Bye Bye Blackbird” and a crisp swinging take of “Hand In Glove” as they go around the horn surfacing the strength of the band with Miki Hayama (p), Ulysses Owens, Jr (d) and Michael Dease (tb). Bassist Rodney Whitaker stands out on “Blame It On My Youth” with Meyer shining across all nine selections including two originals. This is a first-class big band with big sound, another strong showing from Meyer!
