O’s Notes: Guitarist Brev Sullivan pays homage to his dad with Ira: The Tribute Album featuring the 6-piece, Blue Road Records Studio Sessions Band. They present an electrified set from end to end. Drummer Kevin Abanto keeps the beat going and adds an arousing solo on the opener “I Get A Kick Out Of You”. Brev is joined by two other guitarists, Leo Quintero and Miriam Stone. Javier Espinoza (b) and Yainer Horta (keyboards, sax) round out the band. The guitars shine on “Monday’s Dance” and establish the genre as jazz-fusion, amplified on “Multimedia” and “Nineveh” with a touch of bebop on “Our Delight”!
