O’s Notes: Oscar Peñas plays guitar and leads a quartet with Don Blake (sax), Moto Fukushima (b) and Drummer Richie Barshay. They play a fresh set of eight mid-tempo, relaxing tunes all written by Peñas. Gil Golstein adds a touch of color playing the accordion on two selections notably “Julia” and then piano on “Samuel Smith”. We also enjoyed “Encuentro” and “Choro n.2” as Oscar establishes a unique signature and a strong foundation to build on.
