O’s Notes: Vocalist Mark Winkler and pianist David Benoit are the headliners in a cool septet. These two Old Friends still have the hit-making magic that garnered them countless minutes of airtime! These gentlemen have nothing to prove, so they just play with feeling, elevated by the spirit of the band to our delight. “The Shadow of Your Smile”, “Better Than Anything”, “Old Friends” and “Thirty Years” are highlights in this set of 13 enjoyable, classic tracks.
