O’s Notes: Pianist, composer Steve Allee leads a large ensemble conducted by John Clayton for Naptown Sound, a tribute to the legacy of jazz in Indianapolis, rooted on Indiana Avenue. You can read about it in the excellent liner notes. Among the many talented musicians appearing are Rob Dixon (t-sax), Jim Pugh (tb), Steve Allee (p), Dave Stryker (g), and Rusty Burge (vibes). We liked “Cookin’ at the Kitchen”, “Wes at the Turf”, and “Full House”.
