O’s Notes: Black Olive Jazz is a San Francisco-based ensemble featuring vocalist, multi-instrumentalist Kay Kostopoulos and saxophonist Noel Jewkes. They shine on “Never Let Me Go”, one of eight selections on All This Is Possible. The rest of the band includes polished musicians John Dimartino (p), Sean Conly (b), Vince Cherico (d), and Peter Brainin (sax). They liven the stage on “Lover/Diggin For Diz”, the gentle “Mad About The Boy”, More Than You Know”, & “I Enjoy Being A Girl”.
