O’s Notes: Canadian vocalist Gillian Margot recorded her latest album in New York. She invited an all-star band that includes Jeremy Pelt (t), Freddie Bryant (g), Richie Goods (b) and Anthony Wonsey (keyboards). Whether she singing solo or with accompaniment, Margot shines. Her voice is soulful and the unique arrangements make Black Butterfly different and appreciable. This is Gillian’s attempt to expand her US audience already well recognized in her native Canada and internationally. She is on the mark.
