O’s Notes: Guitarist Andre Ferreri Quintero assembles a fine team with Ziad Rabie (t-sax), Kobe Watkins (d), Anna Stadlman (b) and Brad Wilcox (t). Piano duty was split between Mark Stallings, Phillip Howe and Sean Higgins. We’ve seen most of these musicians live on the Charlotte jazz scene and are thrilled to hear them on this recording! They open swinging happily on “Mighty Fine” followed by “Seasons, with rich solos from Rabie and Ferreri. Stallings adds the B3 on “Uptown Swing” while Ziad shines again on “Good Bones” this time supplemented with fine solos from Howe and Watkins. Andre and Ziad take the melody in unison for “On The Move” before ending with a “Love Letter To Mary” capping the very inclusive session.
