O’s Notes: This is a swinging set of eight tunes written by guitarist Sarel River. His accompanying band ranges from three to seven players with the core rhythm section of Ron McClure (b), David Berkman (p) and Bruce Hall (d). The brass shines on “Main Street Fugue” combining the melody with Sarel’s guitar. The tunes are bouncy and engaging and River displays a lot of prowess. We found it easy to warm up to.
