O’s Notes: Co-producers, saxophonist Jeff Benedict and guitarist Dave Askren have been performing together around L.A. for over three decades and this is their fourth collaboration as leaders. The Denver Sessions includes Ted Piltzecker (vibes), Paul Romaine (d) and Patrick McDevitt (b). It is a set of 9 originals, 3 each from the leaders and Piltzecker, along with a cover of “Stompin’ At The Savoy”. This is a polished, poised band. “Memories”, “Rhumba Liam”, “Poised” and “Jackie’s Idea” are among the best selections.
