O’s Notes: The is a set of warm romance, An Evening With John Patitucci and Andy James. The bassist and vocalist are the headliners but they’re surrounded by great talent including Chris Potter (sax), Jon Cowherd (organ), Vinnie Colaiuta (d), Terrell Stafford (t), Marvin “Smitty” Smith (d), and Rick Margitza (sax). The program includes 17 classic tunes that are delivered true to form and freshened with meaningful solos interspersed in James’ lyrics. “Besame Mucho”, “Moonlight In Vermont” and “Blackbird” are highlights.
