O’s Notes: This is a swinging blues & bebop session led by trombonist Mike Rinta. Kevin Zuffi (p), Tim Eschliman (b), Jimmy Sanchez (d) and Paul Brannan (sax) are the rest of the team and they play with a spirited bluesy feeling that is very engaging. The program is all originals composed by Mike and the band. We liked the Latin bent of “Ronnie” and were ready to dance on “Little Miss Leffler”! This is a fun session start to finish.
