O’s Notes: David plays guitar; Andrew plays bass and Jim plays trumpet. The trio plays free jazz that is softened without a drummer. The program alternates between originals and covers of classic jazz tunes. The latter are truly transformed and serve as highlights in the session, especially Jobim’s “Once I Loved”, “Emily” and “I Fall in Love Too Easily”. These three selections and two others were recorded in front of a live appreciative audience at the Jazz Room in Waterloo, Canada.
