O’s Notes: Jazz saxophonist Mike MacArthur knows the ingredients to a successful contemporary jazz recording. Gather a team of proven musicians; select a set of classic tunes; sprinkle in a few originals and play like there’s no tomorrow! Mike chose Rick Braun (t), Jeff Lorber (p), Jeff Golub (g), producer Brian Bromberg (b) and Alex Acuna (perc) to name a few of the stellar musicians! Alva Copeland breathes soul into “Sanctified”; Bromberg ushers in “Jean Pierre”, solos hard on “Blue Seven” and they all cook on MacArthur’s “Around The Corner”. Yes, this one definitely Feels Like Home!
