O’s Notes: Floating is yet another recording conceived during the pandemic. Jenny Hill plays saxes, flute, composes, and leads a quintet with Allison Philips (t, flugelhorn), Manu Koch (p), Eduardo Belo (b), and Todd Isler (d). The seven compositions cut across several contemporary genres tilted towards Latin jazz. We liked the flavor of “Deluxe Secret Sauce”, the romantic “Midnight Encounter”, and “Pieces Vibe” best.
