O’s Notes: Pianist Donald Vega leads a trio with bassist Clovis Nicolas and drummer Pete Van Nostrand on All Is Merry and Bright. There’s an element of simplicity that rides in this holiday selection with the rhythm section delivering the goods. Vega starts the session solo on “Once in Royal David’s City”. The music is as warm as the fireplace embers on “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and “Greensleeves”. We enjoyed all the creative, jazzy, introductory arrangements to the classic tunes.
