O’s Notes: Contemporary jazz fans with a penchant for classic R&B are in for a treat with drummer/composer Don Jones Tribe! There is abundance of old school jazzy rhythms, vocal harmonies and funky beats spread across eleven songs. Todd Horton plays guitar, trumpet, keyboards along with composing and arranging several selections. Vocals are handled by Jones and Ernest “Rocky” Wilson on five tracks; the balance are instrumentals. Jonathan Sanders (b), Maurice Johnson (keyboards) and Kevin Hanson (g) support Don in a winning collection.
