O’s Notes: Venerable trumpeter, composer Tom Harrell has been making great jazz across five decades! He leads a fine band including Luis Perdomo (keyboards), Charles Altura (g), Ugonna Okegwo (b), and Adam Cruz (d), with tenor saxophonists Dayna Stephens and Mark Turner alternating tracks. They open blazing with the upbeat “Miramar” followed by “Peanut”, slowing down a tad on “Alternate Summer”, with a taste of gospel courtesy of Perdomo’s organ work on “UV”, and the funky “Wind”. All are a part of the rich canvas for Alternate Summer.
