O’s Notes: Australian drummer, composer, producer Gene Shelby now resides in Los Angeles. He assembles a band with musicians from Jakarta Indonesia: Franky Sadikin (b), Yongki Vincent (keyboards), Eghay Synth (keyboards), Aiden Ishmael (g), Ricard Hutapea (sax), and featured artists Mike Stern (g) and Frank Gambale (g). We like the funky beats of “After Jam” featuring Stern and “Gyro Spiral” featuring Gambale. This is a great combination of both racy tunes like “Rhino Funk”, and cooler fusion ballads like “Rainy Day”.
