O’s Notes: Pianist, composer Steve Allen is back with his large ensemble conducted by John Clayton for Full Circle. The seven selections range from peaceful ballads like “Brothers” featuring Jim Pugh (tb) to spirited tunes line “The Avenue”. We liked the mysterious “Zeebs” featuring John Raymond (t), “Ransom Place” with Ansyn Banks (t), and the title track.
