O’s Notes: Pianist Bob Szajner is a veteran jazz musician who left the scene for about 20 years, dissatisfied with his performance. But we are happy to announce his return about six years ago. This recording features all original songs performed with Ed Pickens and Allan Colding. They romp through thirteen bubbly tunes that swing with a strong spirit. Among the best are “Nichols For Your Thoughts” and “Theo” that reminded us of Monk. We also enjoyed the spirited blues of “Dejection”.
