O’s Notes: Milton Suggs was a new name for us but Lyrical makes him a household name! He has a warm soulful voice that he attaches to jazz classics with fresh arrangements and lyrics that fit like a glove. We enjoyed the brass harmony on “Only A Memory”, the tight rhythm section and countless melodies by Justefan on vibes. Milton dubs harmonizing vocals effectively especially on “Side By Side” anchored by the walking bass line from Joshua Ramos. Suggs adds a couple of originals to the mix creating a good formula, one that should be replicated more often.
