O’s Notes: Pianist, Omar Sosa joins forces and shares billing with co-producer, trumpeter Joo Kraus and percussionist Gustavo Ovalles on JOG. Kraus and Sosa provide EFX and vocals and composed the music. They infuse a touch of rap and funky beats on “Echo Bay” and “Down a the Alley” will get your head bobbing. But they generally stay true to the diffused, high altitude, jazz fusion that their fans will embrace wholeheartedly. JOG continues the evolution of music from the trio.
