O’s Notes: Bassist, composer Matt Aronoff is a studious bassist with a compassionate ear and great sensitivity for incorporating band mates. This comes through on Morning Song, a live recording at The Nest with Jason Rigby (t-sax), Yano Vazquez (Rhodes) and Henry Cole (d). The theme is a soft fusion that feels good. Rigby handles most melodies in prime form. There is excellent work by Aronoff on “Bass Interlude”. Elsewhere he provides a sound foundation while allowing the band to fully express themselves. Our favorite is “June 25th”.
