O’s Notes: The set opens with “What Am I Gonna Do” featuring Rashaan Patterson singing nicely harmonized lyrics. It is followed by a cover of Kool and The Gang’s “Take My Heart”, then Macy Gray on “Lovelife”. Most of the rest of the songs are smooth instrumentals with varied tempos featuring Jimmy’s warm sax melodies. This is a nicely balanced session.
