O’s Notes: Irvin lets his trumpet do the talking as he takes us on a journey of love. The titles contain illusion, obsession, denial, affairs, and reality, all the elements of love. The core band is Aaron Fletcher (s), Jaz Sawyer (d), Richard Johnson (p), Eddie Livingston (b) and Mayfield. All are up to the task, swinging with a New Orleans groove and telling us How Passion Falls.
