O’s Notes: JC Hopkins is a pianist and bandleader who assembles a strong team of musicians and vocalists for this New York Moment. The featured vocalists are Joy Hanson, Nico Sarbanes, Vanisha-Arleen Gould, Shawn Whitehorn and Alicante Yaffee. We truly enjoyed “The Wonderful Things to Come” and “What Would You Say?” featuring Hanson and Hanson/Sarbanes respectively. There are also great blues on “The Children Will Lead Us” featuring Yaffee. This is a pleasant session as Hopkins coaxes the best from his team.
