O’s Notes: Sax player, Beasley lights up the stage on Go With The Flow, his new release on N-Coded Music. These are all good tunes slow, fast and medium tempo. It’s good for dancing, relaxing and listening. Highlights include “West Hamilton Groove” and the Groveresque “Let Me Watch You”. It’s very laid back and relaxing. Beasley not only plays a cool sax but give us some warm vocals most notably on “Suddenly” and “All I Want” including spoken word from Abria Smith. These combinations of contemporary jazz kept this CD in our changer for weeks!
