O’s Notes: Tenor saxophonist Jon Bentley leads a quartet, whaling from the start on “Balcony Jogger” and he never lets up! Guitarist Triston Paxton shines on “Movin’ Further Wes”, B3 master Chris Gestrin lights a fire on “Tran’s Terrain”, and drummer Joe Poole sets the pace throughout the session. Other highlights are “Go Ahead”, swinging “Down In The Depths”, and “The Feeling of Jazz” the warm finale.
