Jazz Ruler Type: Bebop
Performance: 4

O’s Notes: Jill plays piano and leads a quartet with bassist Paul Gill, drummer Andy Watson, and Will Anderson on sax and flute. This is a strong team and the spotlight is widespread. McCarron shines on “My Ideal” along with Gill. They swing hard on “One For Amos” featuring Anderson and Gill with a fine bass solo using the bow! Then Anderson plays flute to serve up a taste of Brazil on “Chovendo Ana Roseira”. We also enjoyed the syncopated “Short Story”.
