O’s Notes: The late trombonist Roswell Rudd formed a quartet with vocalist Fay Victor, pianist Lafayette Harris and Ken Filiano on bass. They reshaped eight classics around the talent of the team. Rudd and Victor do a fine job carrying most of the melodies with warm, earthy tones. They take their time in a very deliberate process in a clean soundstage absent a drummer. These are an entertaining set of tunes!
