O’s Notes: Saxophonist, composer Matt Otto is also a Professor of Jazz Studies at Kansas University. Ephemeral is his latest album with all original compositions and a talented team of 15 musicians, generally playing as a 4–5-piece ensemble. All our memories, regardless of the emotions attached, last only for a moment. They are ephemeral, and the music on this CD is reflective of those moments. We like the upbeat, positive remembrances illustrated by “Dune Town Mastered”, “Scroll”, and the title track
