O’s Notes: Trumpeter Chris Pasin assembled six different groupings of musician friends to celebrate the Holidays on“Baby It’s Cold Outside. The collection has 11 selections including a few vocal tracks featuring Patricia Dalton Fennell (also a notable expert on chronic illness). She breathes warmth into the chilly Northern breezes notably on “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and the title track. Pasin’s tone is incredibly rich on “Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel”, a duet with pianist Armen Donelian.
