O’s Notes: Rex Cadwallader plays piano with Mike Asetta on bass and drummer Arti Dixson. Tiffany Jackson handles all vocals. Tiffany has soaring opera-like vocals and positions the lyrics on top of an abstract canvas provided by the trio. Not all of the music is spontaneous however as they play several traditional, spiritual selections. The contrast is sometimes challenging but we found several bright spots including “Trialogue No. 4” and “Deep River”.
