O’s Notes: Virginia has an exotic air that flows gently through this set. The songs are all covers but Schenck makes them her own with unique arrangements. She is backed by her core trio including Rodney Jordan (b), Marlon Patton (d) and Kevin Bales (p). Kino Boto Ayah (d, perc) and Kevin Spears (Kalima, bkrd vocals, perc) impart more of the African beats that further enhance the character of the set. The band cooks and the vocals are spot on. Just sit back and enjoy the scintillating performance.
