O’s Notes: Spyro Gyra saxophone player, Beckenstein steps out on his own with this release. He’s got a lot of the groove of his legacy band with several smooth hits, both upbeat and relaxed.. He gets support from Chiele Minucci (g), Chuck Loeb (g), and several excellent bass players: Mark Egan, Will Lee, John Patitucci, and Marcus Miller.
