O’s Notes: Japanese vocalist Kaoruko Pilkington sings eleven classic jazz tunes on Bright Side Of My Life, her latest release. She sings and scats in front of a strong team of musicians that includes Greg Hopkins (t), Bob Tamagni (d), Keala Kaumeheiwa (b) and Bob Pilkington (tb). The band is solid all the way through in support and alone making this a decent effort, swinging when the need to swing and popping on the bop tunes.
