O’s Notes: Vibraphonist, composer Vance Thompson makes his debut with Lost and Found, in a quintet with Taber Gable (p), Steve Kovalcheck (g), Tommy Sauter (b), and Marcus Finnie (d). The program includes fresh original music along with classic covers spanning the jazz spectrum. We liked the bossa nova beats of “The Thread of All Sorrows”, the bluesy “Sleight of Hand”, “Tell It Like It Is”, and “Mixed Feelings”.
