O’s Notes: Jazz vocalist Paula Lammers teams up with a swinging hot trio for thirteen standard and pop covers for her second recording. Mary Louis Knudson (p), Jay Epstein (d) and either Billy Peterson or Chris Bates play bass providing ample support and stepping into the spotlight from time to time. Guitarist Vincent Rose plays on four songs notably the samba groove of “South of the Border” and “Now I’ve Seen You”. Paula says “Deep Purple Dreams” are internal places of solace, refuge, and fantasyÉ they bring me out of the fog and darkness… For us this album is a nice variety of songs that are jovial, fresh and suitable for listening on many occasions.
