O’s Notes: Saxophonist Benny Ruben lights it up on the swinging “Or See” and “Flint Water Crisis” with passionate pleas of emotion. Those emotions turns to warm passion on “Darn That Dream”. Pianist Lex Korten stretches out on ”NYC Urge” and ”Kiss Me Right” balancing the attack. Adam Olszewki (b) and JK Kim (d) anchor the rhythms and keep things flowing making Know Say or See a worthy listen.
