O’s Notes: Cody Carpenter has been involved in music his entire life with parents and grandparents who were artists. He plays keyboards and composes the music, a high-intensity effort for Memories and Dreams his latest progressive rock endeavor. Electronic keyboards and synthesizers dominate the sounds. It’s like an amusement park or arcade band. A series of drummers including Jimmy Brandy, Cody & Marco Sfogli on guitar, and bassist Jimmy Haslip make the rhythms vibrant. Our favorite is “The Grind”.
