O’s Notes: Bassist Tim Ferguson and guitarist Tom Dempsey have a Beautiful Friendship and they make beautiful music as well. Eliot Zigmund plays drums and Joel Frahm breathes warmth into the mix with his tenor and soprano saxophones. They open up cooking on “Little Niles” then swing on “50-21”. That groove is sustained throughout the set, an equal mix of originals and standards.
