O’s Notes: Saxophonist, composer Steve Slagle turns to ballads for Into The Heart of It, his latest release. His band is complimentary including pianists Bruce Barth or Richard Sussman, bassist Ugonna Okegwo and Jason Tiemann on drums. The pace is slow and the mood is romantic for a mix of originals and classics. Highlights include “Le Sucrier Velours”, “Reflections” featuring Randy Brecker, “My One And Only”, and “Kiss Lonely Goodbye”.
