O’s Notes: Jazz Quarterly is a new venture quarterbacked by Don Martin and smooth jazz trumpeter Gabriel Mark Hasselbach. This collection of summer fun, smooth jazz features a number of like-minded musicians. This could be construed as yet another extension of Hasselbach’s empire but he takes the opportunity to introduce and collaborate with many other musicians. Gail Johnson (keyboards) plays on “Dreaming of Sleepwalking”, “Uptown Situation” features Freddy V (sax), and “Life’s Beat” with Robert Parker (synthwave) and Stan Jackson (fl). There are also established artists like guitarist Paul Brown on “Fifth Night”, trumpeter Tom Browne on “The King” and of course Hasselbach notably on “Maui Rain”.
