O’s Notes: Brian Landrus is joining the increasing list of good things and good people from Brooklyn. He has shined as a sideman and a leader playing, sax, flute and clarinet. Mirage is his latest effort and it is formidable! There is a nice blend of strings with brass on “Arrival”, sweet funky syncopation on “The Thousands” and a cool steady groove on “Don’t Close Your Eyes” as Landrus shows strong writing and arranging skills. Each song brings new flavors and good feel making this his best effort yet.
