O’s Notes: Pianist, composer and co-producer Monika Herzig reassembles her Sheroes band for their third release Eternal Dance, their first on Savant. The sorority is beyond proving equivalencies and is excelling regardless of gender. Guitarist Leni Stern makes her presence known on several tracks notably “Eternal Dance’ and “Rabbit”. We also enjoyed “Fly High” featuring Lakecia Benjamin (a-sax), “We Can Be (S)Hereos”, the soothing “Fall in Reading” and solemn finale “Memories of Petra”.
