O’s Notes: Guitarist Doug MacDonald leads a mainstream quartet with Kim Richman (sax, fl), Harvey Newmark (b) and Paul Kreibich (d). The repertoire is a combination of originals and tried, true standards. They open with the jovial ‘A Beautiful Friendship‘ with MacDonald and Richmond sharing the melody with Kreibich providing an energetic solo. Newmark follows with a engaging solo on ‘San Raphael‘. They share that energy throughout the session in the true spirit of the left coast making“Califournia Quartet“a winning combo.
