O’s Notes: Tenor saxophonist, composer Scott Gilman formed a working band with Gary Fukushima (p), Trevor Ware (b), and Abe Lagrimas Jr. (d) back in 2017. They coalesced as a unit, but the pandemic interrupted their progress. Gilman persisted pursuit of an album and they came together in 2023 to record So Far. Several songs include percussionist Joey DeLeon. They open with the upbeat “One Night At The York”, a song representing their many live sessions at The York Club in Los Angeles. They bring that energy into the studio, swinging on “Almost Home”. & “The Deep End”, grooving on “Poor Man’s Lobster” and adding a taste of Latin on “Strange Baby”.
