O’s Notes: Fred Vigdor is Freddy V, a contemporary jazz saxophonist, writer and producer. He puts together a popping set of mostly new upbeat tunes that will have your head bobbin’ at a minimum. He employs the talents of proven performers Ike Stubblefield (organ), Mo Pleasure (b, keyboards), Ricky Peterson (organ) and guitarists Derek Scott & Terry Lewis to keep it funky. Klyde Jones injects soulful vocals into “Let’s Go Round Again” the best of three vocal tracks. Freddie is in the middle of it all working his sax to keep it fresh notably on “Any Other Way” and the super funky “Sandbag”. This is one to add to the smooth rotation.
