O’s Notes: Smooth jazz guitarist Bob Shimizu leads a team of talented musicians to perform eleven new original compositions. The program contains a balance of tempos with warm ballads like “Trace of a Nordic Blonde” and popping jazz cuts like “Easy to Be With” and the funky “1235 Moio Way”. Bob’s fretwork is precise with rounded rich textures. He shares the spotlight with Joey DeFrancesco (B3), Eric Marienthal (sax), Matt Williams (vibes), Dominique Farinnaci (flugelhorn) and several others making First & Monroe a winner!
