O’s Notes: Fundamentally Unfinished is the strong debut recording by Rebecca Rafla from Indianapolis. Her voice is rich and warm, backed by a polished band, with harmonized background vocals. The title reflects her thoughts that life is fundamentally unfinished meaning we never know what’s really gonna happen. But for sure, this recording is happening! Producer, saxophonist Rob Dixon leads the band with Steve Allee (p), Kenny Phelps (d), Jesse Wittman (b), John Raymond (t), Patrick Wright (g) and others. There are six fresh originals along with classics like “The Very Thought of You “. Other highlights are “I Love You, I Do”, “Without You”, and “Little Boat”.
