O’s Notes: Warren Wolf is one of several talented vibraphonists on today’s jazz scene following the path of legends Roy Ayers, Lionel Hampton, Bobby Hutcherson, Cal Tjader, and many others. Wolf provides a brief History of the Vibraphone in the liner notes. He aligns himself with a formidable team for this effort: Alex Brown (p), Vicente Archer (b), Carroll “Cy” Dashiell III (d), and Tim Green (a-sax, s-sax). The program includes compositions from the legends along with “I See You Looking At Me” by Wolf. Of note are “Spring High”, “Vibrations”, and “Sad Eyes”.
