O’s Notes: Halie Loren is the first jazz artist we know from Alaska, now living in Oregon. She breathes warmth into her music on unique arrangements of seventeen classic tunes along with a few originals. She’s performing Live at the Cotton Club in Tokyo, Japan (2015) to a thankful audience. Accompanied by Matt Treder (p), Mark “Mo” Schneider (b), and Sir Brian West (d), Halie lights a fire! They are a strong team leading to many highlights, notably “Hit That Jive Jack”, “Our Love Is Here To Stay”, “I’ve Got To See You Again”, and “Feelin’ Good”.
