O’s Notes: Natalie Cressman sings and plays trombone on her latest take with guitarist, vocalist Ian Faquini. They are joined by Brazilian guitarist, vocalist Guinga on five of the fourteen selections. The music is composed all or in part by Guinga. They play in various vocal and instrumental combinations. There are relaxing Latin notes on “Bolero Da Sata”. Guinga’s voice is romantic on tunes like “Contrditicao”. Ian’s work on guitar is solid throughout the session. We liked the warmth of Natalie’s trombone on “Par Constance”, “Garcia E Maresia”, and “Ellingtonia”. This is a warm encounter dedicated to a participating maestro.
