O’s Notes: Mark Winkler has a crisp, cool vocal style that is easy to embrace.“I’m With You“features Winkler singing songs of Bobby Troup. Rich Eames (p), Gabe Davis (b), Dave Tull (d) and Grant Geissman (g) are the primary group performing on half of the 12 songs. Winkler wets our appetite on ‘Hungry man‘ and again on the Halloween version ‘I’m Such A Hungry Man‘. We enjoyed the cool blues of ‘Route 66‘, ‘I’m With You‘ featuring Geissman, ‘Three Bears‘ with solos from John Mayer (p) and Bob Sheppard (sax) and ‘Please Belong to Me‘ featuring Ricky Woodard (sax).
