O’s Notes: Roger Lewis is a veteran Crescent City saxophonist leads a band featuring Herlin Riley (d) and Kirk Joseph (sax) with several guest artists along the way. The music has a bluesy, New Orleans vibe heavy with brass and reeds. Saxophones are in force on “Glory, Glory, Glory Is For Us All” and again, later in the set on the vocal version featuring Erica Falls. We enjoyed “Maybe You See Horses” and “Little Things” with spoken word by Don Paul and the sax melody on “Maybe You See Horses”. It’s Alright!
