O’s Notes: Adrianne Duncan composes, sings, plays keyboards and leads her Los Angeles-based band on a compelling set of 5 romantic songs for Gemini. It’s all original except the cover of Sting’s “Roxanne”. We liked the tragic story of “Elijah” and the warm groove on the title track featuring flutist and soprano saxophonist Katisse Buckingham. Dan Lutz (b), Jimmy Branley (d), Nick Mancini (vibes) and John Tegmeyer (cl) round out the band.
