O’s Notes: Boston based vocalist Kris Adams teams up with drummer Peter Perfido to honor the late guitarist-composer Michael O’Neil on Away. Bob Degen (p), and Andre Buser (b) round out the quartet. 9 of the 13 songs are O’Neil originals. Highlights are “Die Sehnsucht”, a tribute to saxophonist Jan Gabarek, “Asia” with warm vocalese by Adams, “FM” with fine solos from Buster and Degen, and “Blessing”.
