O’s Notes: Composer, pianist Armen Donelian assembles a trio with bassist Jay Anderson and Dennis Mackrel on drums. They perform a dozen compositions including five originals making a refreshing, peaceful set. “Madagascar”, “Gale” and “Noviembre” are highlights. It’s excellent background music for a romantic dinner. Donelian is focused on respectful conversations and interactions as we emerge from the calamity of the past few years. Fresh Start is healing music towards that end.
